Master of all catalans
September 2, 2006 |
Well, today I’ve decided to open my Digui Digui book (thank you, Raul) and start studying. It seems that I will not learn Catalan without the book, I understand it quite well but all that I could say until now was: “This train’s route ends in this station”, and I can only say it, I don’t know how to write it. I’ve also expected some miracles, like moving Pompeu Fabra’s headquarter to Madrid (what would the “castellanizado” name be? Pompedo Fabra?) and force everyone to speak Spanish at the University, or finishing my “catalan forgetting” chip and implant it in the teachers’ neck… but it seems it’s not possible. I have to learn Catalan :(.
So I have started today, and I hope tomorrow I will read this post and I will continue with it. Up to now I know the numbers, and to say who I am and I’m sorry and all this crap. I hope I will be able to visualize it as this is what I need for the University. Wish me luck!

You’re doing it pretty well, we had a few little conversations in catalan and I think that it won’t be difficult just because there are many words that sounds and are written the same on romanian.
Don’t give up! I’m here to help you as you know :P
PS: The translation of Pompeu Fabra could be “Pompie Fabra” too.
Hi Sim,
Good luck. It’s not that difficult really. It’ll probably take a few months, which isn’t very long. So you’ve only just arrived in BCN?
