Hello, my name is Mari and today we are gonna talk about Catalan
So I decided to take to youtube the march Instagram challenge by Lindsay Does Languages
I will link her video... and her channel in the description down bellow and somewhere in the video
This challenge is all about lesser studied languages and the whole idea is to take
each week of march one language and explore it
and try to learn it and make some awareness of this language and put it in the spotlight
This is the second video, the second week
The first one was Afrikaans
If you want to see that video (please) go check it
I will link it
yes and this week as you may have guess from the title
it's all about Catalan
Is a language that is
close to where I live
so I wanted to explore it
so without further to say let's get started
First, Name of the language that will be Catalan
Second number of speakers
catalan has about 4.1 million native speakers
Where is it spoken
It is the only official language of Andorra
which is a small country between Spain and France
and it is also spoken in some regions of Italy, France and Spain
I think the city that is most popular where it is spoken is Barcelona
Interesting Features
mm there is a little, well not little, there is a big controversy
a dispute about wether Catalan and Valenciano are or are not the same language
some people insist they are, some people insist they are not
I HAVE NO IDEA
because I've never heard Valenciano...
I mean I actually have but I don't recall
you know, I can't tell about their differences
so, that is up to discussion
I think people have different points of view
Specially here in Spain where these two languages are really politicised.
so...
I am just going to say they're both regulated by different organisms, they have different names
yeah, that's all I'm gonna say
Linguistics, this part I like to talk about
its linguistics are more associated to Italian and French, than to Spanish, actually
But the Language that is most closely related to Catalan is the Occitan
who would've know... they're both romance Languages tho
Famous Speakers and works of literature and etc, etc, etc
I'm not a big reader so I didn't pick up a book in Catalan
it would've been hard specially because I don't speak the language
but probably I would've understand something
So I can't really talk about literature or whatever because I don't really know about it
also musicians, I haven't really listen to Catalan music
But, there are some famous people that you might now that speak Catalan
for example,
you have the artists that are very famous, you might have heard about Joan Miro and Salvador Dali
Right?
Of course the architecture genius Antonio Gaudi
In fashion we have Custo Dalmau, which is the founder of Custo Barcelona
and football
because you probably know about football
Xavi hernandez, Puyol, Gerad Piqué and some others
and by football I mean soccer, IF you are American and are confused
you know the Barcelona Football Club is very popular
that's a big thing also from Catalonia
from the Catalonian region... of course their players speak Catalan
okey
Resources I've found
First of all big shout to my girl from Learning Catalan from Barcelona
I've been watching you , I love your videos
and I hope you make more
so, when I dive right into learning the language, you are there helping me
I really like her videos
This week I've been very, very, very, busy
So I mostly... only?... basically only... did Duolingo.
it's very practical to do when you're in the subway, underground, whatever you wanna call it
just in your way, somewhere
so I used only Duolingo, or mainly Duolingo
I must say
So, I know a lot of weird words because of that
If you live in Spain you can find many books
novels, grammar books or whatever in Catalan
of course because it is a language from this country
also (probably) if you are like in Andorra
there are also some websites that I found
and I will link all of the resources that I just mentioned in the description box down bellow
share a video of what you've learned
okey *som-hi* (let's go)
I learned that from Learn Catalan from Barcelona
she says it and I thing it's cool *som-hi*
ok, Som-hi
Hola a tots! sòc...
wait, wait... *Hola a tos, ss...
Hola a tots! sòc...
*Hola a tots! sòc Mari
tinc 20 anys
parlo... engéls.. engels... engéls
neerlandes, Espanyol i italià
m'encantem les idiomes
Merci
Adeu
I also know some words from Duolingo
but they're just some random so I'm not even gonna...
I've been very surprised with Catalan
I thought it was very similar to Spanish
and even thought it has it's similarities
is not as similar as I thought
yeah, I do want to learn Catalan in the future
not right now, because right now I have a lot of things going on
so I wouldn't have time to learn it
but I do want to learn it specially because I live in a country were it is spoken
and I can't wait to go to Barcelona and Andorra to...
to practice the language, I like that it's close so I can actually go and practice the language with native speakers
So, this is all for today if you liked this video please give it a big thumbs up
and I will see you in the next one
brother; I forgot something (in Spanish)
calm* lol dyslexia...

let's share our Catalan discoveries with each other
okey, Adeu!!
