[RNLD] Master-Apprentice programs?

[David Valls]

Dear,

As a Catalan and working with language promotion issues, 
sociolinguistics, etc., I can provide with a lot of information 
regarding these "voluntaris per la llengua" (volunteers for the 
language). Which is that a native speaker meets once a week with a 
learner in order to talk in the language just about anything. If need 
anything, just ask. I can provide with a lot of tools and information on 
how Catalans are doing to promote the Catalan language, to revitalize it 
and so on.

Best,

David
