Catalan texts by level with translation
Catalan texts by level are short stories written for learners: about five minutes of reading each, at levels A1, A2 and B1-B2, with a translation under every sentence and audio read by a neural voice. Below is the first page of one story at A1, shown as in the Lingo7 reader. The same story at A2 and B1-B2, and the rest of the collection, are in the app.
- Five minutes per story
- Levels A1 to B2

How to read with a translation
- Read the sentence in Catalan first and work out the meaning from the words you know. Only then open the translation and compare.
- Press Listen and follow the highlighted words. Listen to the same story twice: once with the translation open, once without it.
- Pick the level where you understand about 80 percent without the translation. Too easy is fine; too hard turns reading into decoding. Read a little every day.
Questions about these texts
They are written for Lingo7 learners: short stories on history, nature, science, technology, philosophy and everyday life, about five minutes of reading each. Levels A1 and A2 are simplified versions of the same story, B1-B2 is the story as it is in the app. Every story is translated sentence by sentence.
Sentence by sentence and close to the original, so you can match the words, but written as natural sentences, not word for word. Where the two conflict, the meaning wins over the word order.
No. This page shows the first page of one story at A1; the whole stories are in the Lingo7 app, where they work offline once opened and every word can be tapped for a translation.
This page is free. In Lingo7 you open any story and read its first page for free; a subscription unlocks all the stories, the audio and the word practice.
Press Listen and the story is read aloud in Catalan by a neural voice, with the current word highlighted. The recording is made from this exact text, so you can pause and reread any sentence.
Read the example above without the translation. If you understand most of it and miss only a few words, A1 is your level. If it feels too easy, open the same story at A2 or in the original in the app. A1 and A2 are simplified versions; B1-B2 is the original text of the story.
