Lo que tienes que hacer es escuchar el catalan primero.
Busca en el internet ejemplos del catalan hablando.
La clave de aprender un idioma en el principio no es
hablar sino escuchar y entender. No se puede hablar
bien una lengua sin entender.
Compra libros que te enseña el catalan.

You need books and bilingual French dictionaries that have the
phonetic pronunciation of the French words. Same goes for
Spanish beginners too but even more so for French since French
is more difficult to pronounce.

All you need is the will to do so. ;-)
My mother tongue's German, but learned in English right after Elementary School and started learning Spanish and Dutch two years ago. Due to much curiosity I even checked out Turkish and French plus Portuguese / Brazilian Portuguese and Italian. But my learning is fixed on Spanish and sometimes Dutch right now. Spanish is getting bbetter with every day.

I even found a new web-series for Spanish-learning:
Extr@ Español 7
Found in the youtube channel:
It has subtitles for Spanish, Russian and English.

Tetsuo, de verdad! Yo he visto todos los episodios de extr@! La mejor producción hicieron les alemáns (es decir - les actores mejores), eso es seguro! Pero sera inútil para ti.

En la versión de España, no me gusto actor rubia. Ella juega su papel demasiado en serio. No tiene sentido de la comedia, en mi opinión. Pero, aprendo español como resultado de sus griteríos. Eso es seguro...

I was born in Poland and both of my parents are from there. At the age of 4 years I went to Spain and I grew up speaking Spanish all the time. Now I am trying to learn English so it is like if I were trilingual, but I have a lot to do yet. At the begining everything was difficult for me and I couldn't say nothing, but after a few month of learning here are the results, now I can say something but it is not enough. If you really want something you can do it!

¡Vale! Hola Disposal. ¿Cómo están las cosas hoy para ti?
Te felicito por aprender el español. ¿Así que también puedes
escribir y leer el español, amigo mío?

¿Has intentado a aprender el italiano/catalan o portuguese?
Si conoces el español el italiano es mucho mas fácil que el
frances. Y cuando se sabe como hablar el italiano luego el
francés es más fácil para aprender. Aprendí italiano luego el
francés y luego el español. También el portuguese.

Quiero aprender catalán en mi casa pero no tengo mucho tiempo. Bueno, la verdad es que llevo estudiando español desde hace dieciséis meses. De hecho, creo que los idiomas son importantes, difíciles e interesantes pero siempre hay algo que aprender. Personalmente, admito que hay muchas cosas que me gustaría aprender con el tiempo pero estoy muy ocupado.

El hecho importante es que una vez que sepa un idioma basado en el latín
los otros idiomas son fáciles de aprender. Por ejemplo, yo aprendí italiano
primero y luego español, portugués, francés y catalán. Todo porque aprendí
un idioma latin primer podía aprender los demás. Esta es otra razón para
aprender el español.

The importante fact is that once you know one Latin language then the other
Latin languages are easy to learn. For example I learned Italian first and then
Spanish, Portuguese, French and Catalan. All because I learned one Latin
language I could learn the others. This is another good reason to learn Spanish.
