No, I'm not being rude or self critical. I've started Catalan lessons and that's how you say 'My name is Anthony'.
The local autonomous government here offers free naturalization language courses to beginners so I'm taking advantage.
Here are the fruits of my first lessons.
Com et dius? What;s your name
Em dic Anthony. My name is Anthony
Com es diu. What's his name.
D'on ets? Where are you from?
Jo sóc d'Anglaterra. I'm from England
De que fas? What do you do?
Faig professor d'anglès. I'm an English teacher
Quant temps fa que hi treballes? How long have you been doing that?
T'agrada la teva feina? Do you like your work?
Any students of Italian French or Castellano can see the connections. Can't wait to build a bit of fluency.
Well done! We've completed the whole year of the free lessons and I have to say that they were brilliant. Both the teachers we had were excellent... Ofsted would have loved them! The trouble now is that we have to keep asking people to speak catalan rather than castillion!
