My last post should, of course, have included catalan as a tag! I’ve rectified that now.

I’ve enjoyed many visits to Catalunya and although Spanish gets me by it’s always interesting to compare and contrast the two languages.

You can get a free, comprehensive and beautifully illustrated Catalan language guide called `Vocabulari en imatges‘ from the Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament de la Presidencia, Secretaria de Politica Linguistica. You can download it, complete with multilingual translations, directly from the site or email spl.presidencia@gencat.net direct to obtain the paper version. Worth it!

You can also get a Catalan verb wheel, if you are so inclined, from www.llull.ca

I got my book and verb wheel from The Language Show last November, look out for yours next year.
