Marc why not make a video about Limburgish? Best language there is spoken in Belgium, Germany but for the biggest part in the Netherlands. It is the only Europian language with words that can have multiple meanings because we can 'drag' a tone by making it very long and can spit it out immediately just like the chinese language. For example the word: 'sjoon' can have three different meanings depending on the pronunciation. That is why the Dutch and the Belgians always say that Limburgians aren't talking at all but are continually singing. Please make a video about it, a language spoken by over 2 million people and with French, German and Dutch words.

I love roaming form Portugal to Rome, and it is amazing how there are no true stereotypes anywhere. Language is language and it can be different from even one street to the next, and from one family to the next. People relocate and travel and we all try to get along. In short conversations it i hard to mimic or adjust to the person you are talking to, but with practice you can accomplish the true goal of share ideas and interest and most importantly information as you spend time communicating with thatone particular person.

Why do Catalonian governments forbid schools teaching in Spanish? Why would the Catalonian government treats Spanish as a foreign language while Spanish is widely spoken in Barcelona and all over Catalonia? Isn't this cultural genocide? I am not from Spain but speak Spanish fluently and I frankly see all this Catalonian intolerance absurd. Don't get me wrong. I like Catalonia, their people and their language but forbidding Spanish in schools is going way overboard.

If only the flag at the back would represent Catalonia and not just only a group of people. People should be teaching the values of the catalan culture and not what some may believe in or agree with. It may sound silly for some, but if people do not have any idea about Catalonia then, they will associate this flag with the region and not the original one which only has stripes but hey, ho.

You could have used the spanish flag to talk about catalan/valencian language. Because it's spoken officially in 3 regions of Spain (Valencian Community, Catalonia and Balearic islands) and unofficially in 2 refions of Spain (Aragon and Murcia. It's Spain's second language (more speakers than english within the country)

Catalonia is in Spain. The National Language of Spain is Spanish. I am Italian and wherever you go in Italy you will hear Italian in different accents, but always Italian. Stop let this ridiculous people appear more ridiculous. Sorry man but before spread your teaching videos out, please inform you better.

All Catalans speak Spanish. Anyone that speaks Spanish can get by in Catalonia. You would be doing yourself a disfavour to learn Catalan and not Spanish. You are more likely to find Spanish speaking people in Barca than Catalonian anyway. Sorry I dont mean to be negative, just realistic.

The flag behind you is not Catalonia's flag, it is a non-official one used by those who want the Independence from Spain (according to polls they are a minority, but pro separation don't want to admit it. It may be considered offensive as it goes against our Constitution.

Nobody speaks Spanish. The 2 major dialects of Spain are Castellano and Catalan. Same as Chinese, Spanish and Chinese are descriptive nouns as in the people from those countries. The major dialects of China are Cantonese and mandarin.
