However, among so many <a href="https://en.ara.cat/languages/immigration-means-that-catalan-is-now-only-the-habitual-language-of-32-of-the-population_1_5289799.html" target="_blank">discouraging surveys on language use</a>Especially among younger generations, positive initiatives that inspire optimism and hope are also making a name for themselves. One such project is that of Irene Carreras, a 27-year-old from Girona who, through her social media accounts—where she has amassed over 75,000 followers across TikTok and Instagram—charmingly teaches simple expressions and words to capture the attention of new speakers. Carreras, who was a singer in the second-to-last generation of the family band Macedonia, often appears in her videos with her grandmother Dolors, who revives obsolete vocabulary, expressions, and idioms. And, thanks to her online presence, she has already begun offering online courses.<em> </em>More than 500 students at the basic and intermediate levels.</p>]]></description>
