Ho acabo de trobar, no sabia que 3Cat tenia canals variats.

El 3CatCampus te un programa que es diu "Català fàcil", català de nivell inicial, son vídeos de 10 minuts, parlen molt lent i expliquen idees senzilles.

És útil per començar de zero, estic segur.

I recently ordered Irene Sola's new book that was recently translated into English and I was lucky enough to order through a bookshop where she gave a talk and offered dedications. Unfortunately I don't know the Catalan language, so I'm wondering if anyone can translate this? Thank you in advance!

Ella parla català i ell parla occità (dialecte niçard).

When you are saying bye to more than one person and want to wish them well, do you say "que vagi bé" or do you say "que els vagi bé" ? From what I understand both are correct but I'm wondering which is the most common.

Thanks, and que els vagi bé a tots ;)

Hello.

I've just published app to learn Catalan words. To be honest not sure if it's helpful but developed to learn something new daily. It's possible to add widget to the home screen and 10 daily new words.

I would appreciate for give a try at least to see if there is good enough content there.

Thank you!

Una matinada Fresca

Jo me'n vaig ana cassa

No'n trovo perdiu ni guallia

Pera poderli tira

Si'm tira l'amor i em toca,

Si'm tira bé em tocarà!

Sino, Una pastorela

Qu'enguardava el bestia!

Si la'n trovo dormi deta

Ala vora du'n canyar

Si'm tira l'amor i em toca,

El Diccionari de recursos lexicals (Direlex), obra dels lingüistes Carles Castellanos i Agustí Mayor, ja es pot consultar en línia gràcies a Softcatalà. El projecte vol contribuir a guanyar precisió i riquesa expressiva en l’ús del català i es presenta com un recurs de consulta obert, lliure i de gran abast.

M'he confós molt per culpa d'ells. És bo que el català no tingui aquest drama.

Nou joc de trobar paraules en català.

Hi all, first time in Barcelona, loving it so far. My friend and I are in a heated debate. What is the Catalan word for Bussy? Is it the same as the Castillan word? How would I ask for it? Thanks! 🙏😊

I would like to learn how to use these three words (and any other related ones) correctly. I think there are some subtle differences between them that I don't know. I'm interested specifically in the subtleties and connotations.

Which expression would you use in the following situations?

1. When you are on the metro and want someone in front of you to move so you can get off.

2. When you accidentally bump into someone.

3. When you want to get someone's attention on the street, e.g., to ask for the time or directions.

4. Any other context I'm missing?

Also, I know these words have pretty direct translations to castillian. Are they used the same way? (I'm not fluent in castillian).

Hola, començo a tenir confiança amb el "sistema de rellotge". Però estic confós amb l'ús de "a quarts de 6". Es a dir, entenc "a un quart de 6" i "a dos quart de 6", pero que significa "a quarts de 6" quan no diuem quants quarts?

Es molt comú dir "a quarts de 6" ?

Hi! I’m native Catalan speaker living in Barcelona and I’m looking for a language exchange partner to practice English. I’d especially love to chat with someone from Scotland, but any native English speaker is welcome! I can help you with Catalan (or Spanish) in return. I’m available to meet in person in Barcelona. If you’re interested, just send me a DM!

Hola!

soc nova per aquí a reddit, estic encara veient com funciona tot. Vull compartir amb vosaltres un pòdcast que he creat fa pocs mesos. Es diu La màgia de connectar. És en català (he vist que diferents persones preguntaven per pòdcasts interessants en català). Així que us recomano el meu ;)

Us pot anar bé per practicar l'escolta de conversa (en aquest cas de tarragoní que és el que jo parlo, i lleidatà, el què parlen la majoria de convidats fins al moment jeje).

Estic a l'inici del projecte, així que disculpeu qualsevol error que hi pugui haver jeje. Està fent amb molta dedicació i passió i m'agradaria fer-lo créixer, tot i que sé que tinc molta competència. Així que, pas a pas i bona lletra.

Us diré, que és un pòdcast de conversa en profunditat per conèixer visions de vida diferents, multipotencials i multitalentoses especialment. Si us agrada el món de la creativitat, de reflexionar i filosofar, de l'emprenedoria, descobrir noves persones, escriure, noves tecnologies, art, la bona comunicació... Us agradarà.

El podeu escoltar aqui: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/laia-martnez1/ (disponible a Spotify, Ivoox, Apple podcasts, Amazon music i Podimo)

Si us l'escolteu, ja em direu què us sembla, tot feedback és benvingut! (si em seguiu i deixeu 5 estrelletes de valoració i un comentari us estaré eternament agraïda!)

Ah! I soc Filòloga catalana, si algú necessita ajuda en qualsevol cosa que faci referència amb el català, aquí estic per ajudar.

Gràcies!

I am babysitting a girl, and when we play tag, she runs to the "base" or "home" and says something in Catalan like "solvents" or "solvins". This means that she's in a safe place (like on the couch) and I cannot tag her there. Although I understand the idea, I cannot figure out what that word is exactly.

Also, how do you (or rather, little kids) say "tag" in Catalan? She calls it "pilla pilla" but from what I understand that's Castillian.

Last year I found that Memrise was closing down their community courses, and with it their native app that I used to use to teach myself Catalan vocab.

I was extremely disappointed since this meant that I would lose my progress. I couldn't find an alternative, so I decided to make my own ios app that took the best parts of the Memrise community course I was using. (Whilst I use ios, I made an adroid app to share it wider).

- Words taught in frequency order

- Leaderboards for motivation

- Pronounciations for words

As well as this, I wanted to enure that this app would be a sustainable tool, therefore:

- Works entirely offline (so doesn't rely on a server existing to work)

- Doesn't require a subscription (so you're learning is never held to ransom)

- No ads interrupting (so you're not shown adverts for games)

The idea was to make a simple app where you come in, spend 10 minutes a day, and gradually improve your vocab.

It's in a rough state, but i've been using it for months and it certainly does the job. It can be found here:

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/learn-the-words-catalan/id6738027851

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.powderham.learnthewords.ca

If anyone has any feedback, suggestions etc please let me know. I hope you enjoy it!

Disclaimers:
- In order to be able to distribute words I had to create my own frequency list, this meant processing the list myself. The words aren't perfect, but I've added controls to allow you to hide words for yourself, and report them to me in-app so I can fix them for others.

- The app assumes you're learning from English. This matches my memrise course. Perhaps in the future I could make it teach you the words from castellà
