This five-session audio course aims to guide learners to achieve a basic level of understanding and speaking, aligned with the CEFR A1 (beginner) level. It is designed to prioritize listening and pronunciation skills, making it ideal for those who prefer auditory learning methods or need to practice language skills on the go. Galician, a Romance language spoken primarily in the autonomous community of Galicia in northwest Spain, has origins deeply entwined with the early medieval Latin brought to the Iberian Peninsula during the Roman Empire. Over centuries, it evolved distinctly from its Latin roots, sharing a significant part of its early development with Portuguese. The two languages emerged from what was historically known as Galician-Portuguese or Old Portuguese. By the 14th century, Galician and Portuguese began to diverge, with Galician being influenced increasingly by Spanish due to political and cultural shifts. In this audio course, the focus on listening and pronunciation aids beginners in developing an ear for Galician’s unique sounds. The language is known for its melodious quality and distinct phonetic characteristics, which differ somewhat from its closest linguistic cousin, Portuguese, as well as from Spanish. Emphasis is placed on mastering basic vocabulary and essential phrases through repetitive listening exercises and interactive pronunciation practice. This method helps learners acquire the correct accent and intonation, which are crucial for effective communication. Learners are gradually introduced to the sounds of Galician, starting with simple words and phrases, building up to full sentences as your confidence and abilities grow. This progressive, approach is designed to solidify language skills and encourage continual practice.
