This review is from: Assimil Language Courses / El Catalan Sin Esfuerzo / Catalan for Spanish Speaking People (cd's sold separately) (Catalan and Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

An excellent book for Spanish speakers wanting to learn the norms and basics of speaking Catalan, one of the several Romance-based languages found in Europe. Spoken by over 7 million people in Spain, France, Andorra (it's official language) and Italy (Sardinia), Catalan is one of the ten most spoken languages in the European Union (although it is not recognized as an official language of that organization. This book will appeal to those interested in traveling to Catalonia (Spain), Barcelona, the Balaeric Islands for pleasure or business. It also is an excellent book for those interested in Iberian/Catalan Studies and/or Linguistics. Will make an excellent book to read on a plane or train.
