[@DrRas]

Hola Maria, Bevinguda de nou! I moltes felicitats!!! M'ha alegrat molt veure que hagis afegit un altre capítol a la sèrie "Learn Catalan from Barcelona." Correspon a un tema important. Ja el tinc incorporat al programa de la meva classe d'"Intensive Elementary Catalan" que ensenyo actualment a la Universitat Vanderbilt (Nashville, TN, EUA) on, des de fa temps, m'encarrego de (crear i) fer classes de llengua catalana i de lingüística hispànica (sóc membre corresponent als Estats Units de la Secció Filològica de l'Institut d'Estudis Catalans, i molt feliç de ser-ho,...i això potser ho explica tot). De nou, per molts anys! I esperem més aportacions teves a la sèrie "Learn Catalan from Barcelona". Ben cordialment, Philip

[@pipealom4563]

Tinc curiositat, hi ha molta gent dels Estats Units que vol aprendre Català?

[@xiaoxin990]

Gracias por tus videos！！Vivo en Barcelona. Mis hijas empezarán cole este año. Tengo que aprender Catalán.

Hola Maria soc dembele visc a Mataró segurament estic molt content amb els sèu leccions molt Gràcies

[@mikle2129]

We missed you!! I thought you’d given up on the channel Welcome back 😊❤️

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Not yet 😂😅 anyway, happy this came as a nice surprise :)

[@MusicKnowte]

I know a little bit of French and a little bit of Spanish and this honestly looks a lot more like French than Spanish

[@Nathan-vn5tg]

I haven’t even watched the video yet but I just wanted to say how excited I am you’re back. I’ve started learning Catalan and I’m living with a Catalan family at the moment and I need more content. ❤️

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Hola Nathan! That sounds like a great experience in spite of all the challenges we’re currently facing... Hope you can enjoy the experience and that’s definitely the best way to practice :)

[@ryanbeaufort1340]

Hola, Maria! Moltes Gràcies per aquest vídeo. Sóc un filipí i estic aprenent el català. Aquest vídeo és molt útil per el meu aprenentatge.

[@Shaneanagans]

Thanks for coming back! We always appreciate your videos!

[@AtletiToni]

Pots fer més amb la pronunciació si us plau? Ho demano perquè hi ha més vocals i moltes vegades dic cOlors com en el castellà i sona com cUlors o no es pronuncia la erra a la fi de verbs o potser més pràctica amb la doble ela per exemple. Per cert, gràcies per els teus vídeos! Great vids by the way! Very nice quality, very clear sound and vid quality!

[@zhuravlik26]

Thanks again for explaining this. The confusion most likely arises for those who have experience with other Romance languages, as "avere" in Italian and "avoir" in French are used for "to have", and "tenir" in French and "tenere" in Italian have a meaning of "to hold". My mnemonic rule for Spanish was "Spanish assume that if they don't hold something, they don't have it". Now I'll apply it to Catalan as well. :)

[@swithinfry]

Brilliant...big thanks! I live near Tortosa and have been learning Catalan with a local neighbour for about 2 years - these are v helpful! Is there a step-by-step list of your lessons anywhere? Swithin

[@suz366]

This is super helpful. Many thanks.

[@hirambright9357]

Hi, I speak fluent Spanish and some French and Italian. Is that going to help me learn Catalá?

[@idelmomuniz8163]

Parabéns pelo trabalho, muito obrigado que Deus te abençoe !!!

Hello Hello! Benvingut de nou Bella Maria 😍💝🌺🤩☀️ Welcome back! So lovely to see you again 🙏🎁💙🌅🌼 I was getting worried about you! Well I am glad to see that you are okay 🙏. Felic Diada de la Castanyada 🌰. And thanks a lot for the wonderfull Video 💝. It’s interesting because I was learning about another important Catalan verb called ‘Fer” and how it is used in a unique way by Catalans ( fer petons, fer abracades, etc) and this is also very unique and interesting. Thanks again for the wonderful lesson and I look forward to the next one 🌟📙💖🥰🌴

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Hola hola i moltes gràcies pel comentari!! :) very kind and enthusiastic as usual! That’s true, I had never fully reflected about “fer” and how broad it is. I guess this is one of the reasons why Spanish/Catalan speakers sometimes struggle with “make” or “do” as the verb “fer” mostly covers both meanings (like fer el llit - make the bed or fer els deures - do your homework)... Great reflection of the day :)

[@badiaakhazzan4430]

Welcome back 😍 I love you 💕

[@polnocblog]

Good to see you again!

Thank you for the comment - happy to read that!! :)

[@mandinka_language_and_proverbs]

Moltes gràcies, Finalment està aquí.

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Hahaha sí! Com diem en català: “mica en mica, s’omple la pica”, which means sth like “step by step you get things done” ;)

@@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756 M'agrada aquesta paraula❤❤❤😁

[@tomc6965]

Thanks for the vid Maria it's good that your back, it doesn't seem too hard but my pronunciation is awful 😅. Also I was wondering since it's Halloween today, how do Catalans celebrate Halloween? Feliç Halloween (I hope I wrote it correctly 😅)

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Hola Tom! We actually celebrate “la castanyada” (literally chestnut day 😂). I shared a couple of pictures of typical things we eat on Instagram (if you have an account) :)

[@tomc6965]

@@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756 Bon dia Maria. Chestnut day 🤣, I might be late but happy chestnut day 🌰😅. When I was looking up la castanyada I learned about the traditions/history and I seen some of the food and a drink called Catalan moscatel sweet wine, it all looked really nice 😋. It sounds like a nice and interesting tradition/festival. Looking forward to the next upload and I hope everything is good with you ❤️

[@tonigasc]

Cool you're back.

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

merci Toniii!!

[@sebastiaanvanwater]

Wow. el català em torna. És com si Maria no hagués marxat mai. Is the subject matter actually a request from me? I remember wondering about those verbs at one point.

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

I’d love to now say: “yes, this video was actually done as you requested!!”, but sadly it wouldn’t honest. I do remember a couple of people asking me about it, but as you know it’s been a while (lol) and don’t remember all the details 🙈😂

[@tilasole3252]

Looking to learn Central Catalan (Girona), but having a hard time finding a website or app. Sometimes apps pronounce differently, as do translators. Not much for podcasts, more into apps or language courses with audio. Know of any?

I'm tryina follow maria outside this channel. anyone know if she's on instagram? (not the learn catalan instagram, duh)

[@RicardoVasconcelos]

She seems to have disappeared... I hope everything is alright.

Hola professora ara jo comenco parlar molt be' Gracies professora

[@4KTourUploads]

Benvingut 🤗

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Merciiii!

[@MS-nt4xe]

In Central Catalan, is "tu tens" pronounced "tu tèns" or "tu téns"?

[@pipealom4563]

It sounds almost the same, dont worry

[@ashishbartakke]

Hola. So, tener que (castellano) = haver de (catalán)? When do we use “heure “?

[@DrRas]

Ashish, If you mean "hauré de" ('I must'), it simply corresponds to the future of haig de... (= Cast. tendré que...).

[@ashishbartakke]

Thank you. 🙂

[@littlewishy6432]

@@DrRas There also exists an unused defective verb “heure” in Catalan, though the meaning is unknown.

No sé si será cosa mía, pero se te ve un poco triste al inicio del video, espero equivocarme. Pero es bueno verte de nuevo por supuesto.🙌 Si me permites una pequeña sugerencia deberías abrir una cuenta Paypal o algo para todos aquellos que nos gusta el contenido que haces.

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Haha si te refieres a la intro del vídeo, la verdad es que sencillamente estaba muy relajada y tranquila y fue algo bastante improvisado :) Aunque esta siendo un año generalmente complicado, por suerte todo bien (espero que para ti también!!). Y muchas gracias por esta sugerencia tan amable y práctica. La verdad es que lo he estado valorando las últimas semanas y ha sido “reassuring” leer tu comentario :)

[@anis-ym7ln]

Am I the only one who find her very pretty and charming? :)

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Made in Catalonia... 😂🙈 just kidding, very kind of you!

[@renardmigrant]

You pronounce 'aquest' as [akɛ], that's what I heard. That is, silent 's' and 't'.

[@anyutk847]

Haig de o he de?

[@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756]

Si utilitzes “haver” dins la perífrasi “HAVER + DE + infinitu” com has escrit en el comentari, els dos són acceptables ja que alguns parlars accepten “haig de...”.

[@anyutk847]

@@learncatalanfrombarcelona7756 gracies :)

[@DrRas]

Anna, Les dues coses són correctes: Haig de parlar... o He de parlar... . Jo, particularment, faig servir més "Haig de...". Però són perfectament intercanviables ;-) !
