During October, the two employees of the Sirirí cafeteria in Sant Joan Despí have completed the training sessions for the Comerços Aprenents program. This initiative, promoted by the Servei Local de Català with the support of the Sant Joan Despí City Council and as part of the Catalan Language Boost Plan, aims to facilitate the learning and use of the language in local commerce.
The sessions have provided participants with basic content and structures for daily interaction, such as greetings, numbers, days of the week, and telling time. Furthermore, specific language use doubts have been resolved, exceeding the program's initial objectives.
Thanks to the direct application of the acquired knowledge, the establishment has successfully involved its clientele, with some residents now addressing the staff in Catalan. The final assessment by both participants has been highly satisfactory, making the cafeteria a new hub for language use in the municipality.
