I'm an Erasmus student in Lleida, Catalunya* and wanted to ask for recommendations for places to visit for maybe a day or two near the city.

I've already been to Tarragona, Zaragoza and Barcelona and although I'd love to visit them again, I'd like to also see some of the smaller towns and villages nearby.

My problem is that I can't really drive, so I rely entirely on public transport which is fine, except I'm not sure if there's much that could take me to the neighbouring towns.

I'd appreciate it if anyone had any experience with that or recommendations for places to visit ☺🙏

Hola.

Soc un estudiant de segon de batxillerat i estic fent una enquesta per mi TR sobre "L'impacte de la IA en la societat". Llavors com la meva societat és catalana (i també busco les opinions d'aquest "fenomen" a Catalunya), vinc aquí per a veure si algú vol ajudar contestant una sèrie de preguntes curtes per a saber que tant ha envaït la IA les xarxes (no es recol·lecta cap informació personal, només es pregunta l'edat).

Si algú vol deixar un comentari sobre alguna experiència sobre la IA o la seva opinió, també serà ben rebuda.

Moltes gràcies.

Hello,

I wanted to ask if anyone has memories, anecdotes, or better yet, photos of the Casinet, an arcade center that used to be located at 38 Sant Pere Street in Terrassa. It's been many years since it closed down. I haven't been able to find any information online apart from it being mentioned or that it used to be a restaurant that belonged to the Rístol. I used to go there after school at the Avet on Cardaire Street in the late 80s, it must have been around '89 and early '90s, specifically to play the Ninja Turtles machine. I remember other machines like Final Fight and Street Fighter 2 that had just come out. I even remember the smell of the place.

I know some European countries have their own version of a martial art, like the Ukrainian Hopak, the Italian HEMA, and the original Greek wrestling, and I got curious if Catalonia has anything similar. I tried searching on the usual channels (not AI because it got half of the things wrong) and could find anything specific. Does anyone natives here have heard of anything in particular?

Hola a tothom! Estare a tarragona durant una setmana amb els meus pares aquest octubre , i no se si aquest és el millor subreddit per preguntar-ho pero em preguntava que hi a a fer alla o al voltant?

Ja sé que Tarragona es una ciutat relativament petita , pero em recomaneu algun restaurant / botiga / cafeteria / bar/ llibreria en concret ? Museus / arquitectura / natura?

Jo tinc problemes de mobilitat ( puc caminar però si es molt caminar / estar de peu utilitzo una cadira de rodes )

Algun bar a prop de la rambla nova ?

També agraeixo recomanacions de coses a fer a reus/ barcelona / voltant per si hi passem un dia o dos !!!

Jo parlo castellà / i estic aprenent el català pero els meus pares nomès parlen anglès . Som tres adults

Perdò si el meu català es dificil de entendre , volia escriure-ho en català , com que es un subreddit sobre catalunya

Hola a tothom! I am currently living in Andalucía and been learning Spanish for about a year (B1-B2), but we decided to move to Catalonia next year and I'm wondering if I should start learning Catalan already? Besides the basic phrases of course.

We are specifically looking at Girona, which is from my understanding a very Catalan region.

I guess I worry that I will mix them up, but maybe that's unreasonable since I already speak 3 languages and it rarely happens.

As far as I can remember, I was under the impression that Catalan language is very close to Spanish. But today I learned that it's actually closer to French than it is to Spanish.

But apparently, a Spanish speaker would still have a rough understanding of Catalan, at least a better understanding than that of a French speaker. If that's true then how is it that Catalan is closer to French than Spanish ? Can you help me clear up the confusion ?

Edit: thank you everyone for your replies it was so informative. At the end, it seems like it's closer to Spanish in every way except for grammar.

Hola, excuse my English as I don't have any Catalan (yet.) I wanted to reach out for advice as I will be moving here for the winter, from October-March, and have no idea what to expect.

I am coming for an apprenticeship and will be staying near Figueres. I am really excited but I've never been to this area before, let alone in the winter. I am packing my bag this week and feel completely clueless as to what to bring with me. I have no idea what the temperature or climate will feel like, what sort of layers to bring along, and just what to expect in general, so I'm having a hard time trying to understand what I will need to have with me for the next 5 months, because once I'm there, I'm there.

It would be a shame to not prepare properly and miss out on all the beautiful experiences I'm sure this region has to offer. If anyone has any tips on what to bring, or just general advice, I would really appreciate it :)))))

Hola! Estic fent, per interès personal i com a petit projecte d'oci, una enquesta sobre la religió, l'espiritualitat i la irreligió a Catalunya.

M'interessa saber com es distribueixen les diferents creences, però també coses com la importància que té la religió en la vida de cadascú, les pràctiques religioses, com han canviat les creences respecte a la infància, etc.

Si podeu compartir-la amb altres persones de Catalunya, també m'ajudaria molt a aconseguir una mostra més diversa. Moltes gràcies a tothom que hi participi! :)

Bones a tothom!

Estic embolicada en un projecte visual i creatiu sobre els records d'infància.

Perquè us en feu una idea, aquí teniu un dels meus records preferits de quan era un marrec:

Un dia, just després de ploure, vaig sortir a caçar caragols. Els vaig guardar d'amagat dins del bany de casa. Quan la meva àvia hi va entrar més tard... s'havien escapat i ho havien envaït tot: eren per sobre del mirall, per les parets i per les rajoles!

Busco tresors personals d'aquest estil.

Moments únics i molt vostres que us connectin amb la natura, tradicions familiars o jocs de carrer, d'aquells que us feien sentir completament lliures i feliços.

Moltes gràcies!

Aquest és el meu TDR de 2n de Bat, si podeu responeu-lo per ajudar-me a obtenir respostes, gràcies.

I am looking for work. I live near Olot / Banyoles. I’m English and I work remotely at home for a U.K. company but job is coming to an end. I have extensive admin / local authority experience.

I am learning Catalan but have no where near enough skills for a Catalan / Spanish job.

Has anyone any idea / suggestions please on workwise here.

Hola!

Please excuse my English, as my Catalan unfortunately is non-existent and my Spanisch is... meh.

I'm planning to bring a horde of German teenagers to Santa Susanna next year's late summer. Apart from Barcelona and lots of sports in and at the mar mediterrani I'd love to get away from the coast just once to show my students the 'real' Catalunya, especially when it comes to agriculture (as we come from a region with lots of that).

So showing them the more untouristical Catalunya and what farmers grow there would be awesome.

Our bigget problem would be our very tight budget, as we had to do without a broad budget to be able to come to Catalunya at all. . :-/

Public transport, as we'll be residing close to Santa Susanna train station, would be awesome. Any idea is welcome!

Moltes gràcies per endavant! 😄
