Who we are

The Catalan and Spanish as a Foreign Language Advisory Service (ACE|LE) is a service of the Universitat Jaume I that has been offering training and advice in Catalan and Spanish as a foreign language since 1993. ACE|LE's training can go from being completely hetero-directed, with the organization of language courses, to being completely self-directed, from guided self-training to completely autonomous, with the mediation of digital material resources that the Training Area of the Language and Terminology Service organizes, classifies and maintains in constant revision and updating.

Introduction

Learning a foreign language independently is an undoubtedly adventurous undertaking in which you, the learner, play the lead role and are fully responsible for what, when, where, and how you learn. ACELE provides online resources that help users learn Catalan or Spanish. The resources are organized by level and content type to facilitate learning of linguistic aspects. These resources are particularly useful for non-native speakers.

Additionally, this selection of resources serves as a tool for teachers of these languages.
