@quehacespoc

no te va a costar. primero mucha gente habla castellano.

si te interesa la lengua catalana se parecen bastante. creo que lo mas importante es acostumbrarse al acento...

[BibiBNBN]

Oh catalan is so dificult. I will need years to learn it. But I like the language and y love Catalunya.

[Get2BeASkinnyBitch]

they all come from latin so its obvious that they gotta have something similar...

Ostie!!! ets lo puto corso de Catalá!!! : D

It sounds a bit like the european portuguese, on the other hand the standard spanish language sounds like brazilian portuguese.

[OrganicAndFree]

Yeah I agree especially with the unstressed 'o' realised a a /u/ sound which occurs also in Portuguese!

[OrganicAndFree]

Yes and Portuguese like Spanish, French and Catalan also comes from Latin, hence my comparison to it.

[ragazzoshitfuck409]

@OrganicAndFree you forgot italian and romanian!

[ricksterga]

bullshit, it sounds like latin!

[ricksterga]

i speak french and spanish, and it actually sounds like a mixture of the two...the pronounciation is the closest to latin of all the romance languages.

[ragazzoshitfuck409]

@ricksterga no it's not. the closest national romance language to vulgar latin in pronunciation is italian. catalan is like 3rd or 4th.

[ricksterga]

@ragazzoshitfuck409 uh, yeah it is...it is the closest to vulgar Latin

[ragazzoshitfuck409]

@ricksterga um, noooo... italian is. vulgar latin C's were pronounced like in italian (CH sound), as opposed to classical latin C's (K sound). QU was pronounced "kw", like in italian, and became a K sound in the other languages. italian retained sound difference of open and closed vowels, as well as difference in sound of single and double consonants. these features disappeared in every other romance language, except for italian.

Yes, we the catalans, we can understand a lot of words from Portuguese and Frech. Maybe like other spanish and french people..
