Només portes des del setembre aprenent català? El parles súper bé! Segur que aprendràs molt aquest any, ja que en tan poc temps n'has aprés a escriure gairebé perfectament!

Aquí a Andorra el català es parla molt. A la feina tots sempre parlem en català, per exemple. És veritat que hi ha molts espanyols, però has de tenir en compte que molts de ells són catalans i per tant parlen català. A més a més, el català és una llengua de prestigi per als estrangers aquí. Conec molts espanyols de regions no catalanoparlants que han aprés el català i l'utilitzen amb tothom aquí. No hi ha molts francesos, però els que hi viuen també tenen tendència a aprendre català. Hi ha més portuguesos, i normalment ells aprenen castellà però també molts parlen català. Però també és veritat que el català aquí no és tan fort com l'anglès als Estats Units, per exemple.

Bueno, ayer intenté hacer una traducción de un texto de inglés a español, y la verdad es que me costó bastante.
Tengo habilidades pasivas muy altas i desarrolladas en esta lengua, pero en cuanto a la traducción de cosas
concretas, bueno, encontré problema tras problema. Pero, la verdad es que aprendo con cada error y con cada cosa
que me es difícil aprendo el doble. Queda claro que tengo que hacer más traducción para aprender esta
herramienta útil en un mundo con una pujanza importante de hispanohablantes. A ver que nota me saque!

I went to my last German class before Christmas yesterday and instead of doing fun Christmas things (like we did
last year) we talked about Konzentrationslagern and Auschwitz/Arbeit Macht Frei. Wow. I wasn't expecting this and
it's the kind of topic that is pretty difficult to hit the right note in when you're in your native language, so this was
quite difficult. But also useful. We should be able to discuss these things, and ALL things, in our languages, native
or not, and so this was a difficult but decent attempt to do this.

However, one lovely thing about this was to think about how far Europe has moved on. Let's hope the current crisis
doesn't lead us down any dark alleys...

Tschüss

Hola Alexander, m'agrada el teu blog. :) You're already way more advanced than me, and I'm afraid I can't say much more in the language yet, but I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to practice it with you and anamsc this year.

Übrigens, ich wußte bisher nicht, dass du auch Deutsch kannst! Das ist ganz toll. Sie ist meine Lieblingssprache. Obwohl wir uns eigentlich nur auf Katalanisch unterhalten soll, werde ich vielleicht auch manchmal ein bisschen Deutsch schreiben, nur weil ich die Möglichkeit so gern annehme, diese Sprache mit irgendjemandem neuen zu üben. Ich hoffe, es ist OK! Viele Grüße. ;)

Hallo!
Tja, Deutsch passt mir prima! Obwohl Deutsch nicht meine Lieblingssprache ist, ich spreche die Sprache gern mit
dir und ich finde es auch nützlich, denn ich muss noch dieses Jahr viel mehr Deutsch lernen! =)

Tschau

Vor einigen Monaten habe ich das Buch "Daisy Sisters" von Henning Mankell gekauft. Ich war in Hamburg und ich
wollte Deutsche Literatur oder besser Literatur auf Deutsch, die ich genießen könnte. Damals war mein Deutsches
Niveau nicht so hoch und ich habe fast fünf Monate gewartet, um das Buch endlich zu lesen! Aber jetzt, nach vier
Monaten der deutschen Stunden, habe ich das Buch eröffnet und obwohl ich nicht alles verstehen kann, fühle ich
mich viel besser mit dem Buch. Ich lerne mit jeder Seite und das gefällt mir sehr! Ich verspreche Ihnen, dass der
nächste Mal ich ein echtes deutsches Buch lesen werde!

Tschüss

It seems like I'm doing a lot of German at the moment. I did my homework for my language class today and it took
me over an hour, but while it was time consuming I found it really easy to answer the questions, there was a lot of
them though... I feel my German is really coming along, but the need to pass from passive to active is ever more
apparent. But how to do it? I just don't quite know. I think perhaps I should spend more time reading, watching TV
and speaking than 'studying' them.

And yet this Friday I'm off to Barcelona, so it's byebye to the German and hello to Spanish/Catalan, which is always
a good switch =) My Spanish is fine, I understand everything and speak OK, my Catalan needs a lot of work and
work on it I shall! I think I'll put some Catalan stuff on my Kindle and read it on the plane over? Hmm..

Adéu.

Hola, espero que hagis après molt català i castellà a Barcelona. Encara estàs allà? No hauries de dir que al teu català "needs a lot of work" -- que ja hem vist com escrius, i es nota que en parles molt!

Què llegeixes en català? Normalment no m'agrada llegir llibres traduïts a les meves llengües estrangeres; tens algun suggeriment d'algun llibre en català que t'agradi molt?
