Anyone qualified to teach a catechism class may do so. Years ago it had to be a member of the clergy, then religious sisters did so.

Catechism Classes are classes held in person or online to prepare young Catholics, or those who are interested in converting, about the teachings of the Catholic Church. Children are required to attend catechism classes as part of their preparation to receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion and the Sacrament of Confirmation. The catechism is often used to refer to a book containing the official teaching on behalf of the Catholic Church and used by Catholics to learn about their faith. There are many different books published including the Catechism of the Catholic Church 2nd Edition, the Baltimore Catechism (which is written in a way to for children to understand), the Catechism of the Council of Trent, the Catechism of St. Pius X, and the Compendium to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In addition, some online based Catholic organizations such as CatechismClass.com exist to present materials from all of these catechisms in a way to holistically teach the teachings of the Church.

Catechism comes from the word Catechesis (Etym. Greek katechizo) to teach by word of mouth) and there have been many popular Catechisms over the centuries. Some of the more famous have been the great Roman Catechism, which was issued after the Council of Trent by Pope Pius V, the Baltimore Catechism (in the United States) issued in 1885, the Catechism of Pope Pius X issued at the beginning of the twentieth century, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church issued by Pope John Paul II in 1997.

Its principal sources are the Sacred Scriptures, the Fathers of the Church, the liturgy, and the Church's Magisterium. It is intended to serve "as a point of reference for the catechisms or compendia that are composed in the various countries." (Extraordinary Synod of Bishops 1985, Final Report II B a, 4.).12 This work is intended primarily for those responsible for catechesis: first of all the bishops, as teachers of the faith and pastors of the Church. It is offered to them as an instrument in fulfilling their responsibility of teaching the People of god. Through the bishops, it is addressed to redactors of catechisms, to priests, and to catechists. It will also be useful reading for all other Christian faithful.

Not directly. The Catholic Church teaches the world the Good News of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. Her official language is Latin, and many of her schools teach it, but the Church officially teaches prayer and the Gospel, not languages.
