In November 2014 I had the chance to visit the Universidad de Costa Rica (Sede del Atlántico, Turrialba) to give a talk about the sociolinguistic situation of Catalan and to offer a course about experimental methods in linguistics. I cherish a vivid memory of my stay there (report on the website of the Universidad de Costa Rica about my stay).

During my time at the Freie Universität Berlin I was invited to give a talk about Catalan by the organizers of the Salon der Sprachen. Salon der Sprachen is a very interesting initiative which consists of a series of talks about the topic of “language diversity”.
