As the trade language in Andorra is Spanish (Castilian), it would be very helpful and advisable if interested students (1) already possessed some good proficiency in Spanish before arrival (level A2 or higher), or (2) would be willing to commit to go through our “crash-course” (free and by distance learning) in Spanish before arrival on field. No knowledge of Catalan is required or expected before arrival, as an intensive introduction to Catalan will be offered as part of the initial, on-field orientation.
