Kazan — summer 2012

Barcelona is in a part of Spain called Catalonia. The major ethnic group of the area speaks a language the natives call Català (or in Spanish Catalán). I just hate the idea of going somewhere where I don't know the language at all so today I ordered a quick Catalan course from Amazon.

Catalan is closely related to Spanish, but the rhythm and sound of it are very different. If you would like to hear what it sounds like, my favorite Catalan song is embedded here.

The song is about 10Mb long, so it might take a bit to load; be patient.
