Abstract
Catalonia (capital city Barcelona), located in the north-eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula, is one of the 17 autonomous communities into which the Spanish state is organized. It has two official languages, Catalan and Castilian (Spanish). Because language is one of the defining features of Catalan culture and identity, it is the official language of instruction, even though Spanish is often used as well.
