Barcelona is a beautiful city on the coast of Spain that receives millions of tourists every year. It is the capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia in Spain, where millions of people speak Catalan as a first language alongside Spanish. It is similar to Spanish, but quite distinctive in its own right as a Romance language, as it mixes elements of Occitan, French and Italian – and it’s great fun to try and speak it with the locals! 0:00 Introduction 0:16 Ordering coffee while speaking Catalan 2:11 Trying fresh fish at a market 4:05 Speaking Catalan at a fruit stand 5:56 A security guard approaches me 7:22 A stranger helps me buy fresh cheese 9:14 Asking about a variety of local dishes in Catalan 11:22 Trying authentic Catalan cream 12:44 Ordering olives while speaking Catalan Subscribe to my channel: / @xiaomanyc Follow me on Instagram: / xiaomanyc Follow me on Facebook: / xiaomanyc
