The Vice-Rectorate for Organization of Studies, Quality, Accreditation and Languages, through the UPV's Office of Language Planning, offers the A1 Valencian language course for newcomers or people with no Valencian language skills. The course’s aim is to help students understand and use everyday familiar expressions and basic phrases in order to communicate in Catalan/Valencian.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The general objective is to get started in the knowledge and use of Valencian.

At the end of the course, students will be able to understand and use everyday familiar expressions and very basic phrases allowing them to communicate about the fundamental needs of daily life in Valencian. They will be able to introduce themselves and others; to ask and answer questions about personal details, such as country of origin, acquaintances, and possessions; and to engage in simple interactions, provided that the other person speaks slowly and clearly, and is willing to help.
