There's a lot of places to visit in Catalunya. I was very disappointed with the Dali museum, but it's a must, even if it's to complain! Most of the people will be happy to help you as long as you ask them.

The catalan speaking in Barcelona and at the universities should not hinder you. Simply, learn spanish and get the textbooks in a language you can understand. The professors are compassionate and understand that you are taking a great step in your evolution to do something like study abroad. They will help you if you ask for it.
