They even all wore trousers. Which I have been known to do, on occasion. How much more blatant can you get? You say Thanksgiving, I say Bonfire Night. We all know who wins. :wink:]]> News Scrybe https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/paged/2/#post-357349 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/paged/2/#post-357337 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 01:48:34 +0000

Wow, I had no idea, although I have heard you speak of coming over to the US a time or two. I dig NYC enough that I make sure I allow time for a train into town whenever I am near. I do enjoy the buzz or pulse(s). Oh, and the eats, too.

Well, best of luck getting treatment next month. :)]]> News rparker https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/#post-357285 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/#post-357277 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:37:14 +0000
Don't waste your time with catalán, you will understand if you speak Spanish and have a little bit of imagination. You can speak with thousand million if you learn Spanish but you will speak with just a half million if you learn catalán because, I repeat, they also speak Spanish. It is not the same issue than Belgium with French and Flemish.

On the menu. Well, Spain has many different cultures and styles on the food. It is very, very usual that the same food has several names depending on the place you are. Thus, it is very, very common that you have to ask what is it. But that is not different that it happens in another zones in the world (at least, the countries I visited). A couple of new words: carne (meat) and pescado (fish).

It is very usual you can ask for a menu in English in every restaurant or even German, French, Italian, Dutch, etc. Obviously, if you go to a Spanish workers site or a site where the owner is an old man or woman you have some troubles (but use your hands there!).

Yesterday I was in the Metro (Underground) and somebody asked for how to go to a different line. She asked to two men. When the first one started to tell her how to go, she said she didn't understand Spanish. The second one told her how to go in English. If you are unlucky and ask to somebody that don't speak English, don't worry, probably he/she will take your arm and will go with you.

If you speak Spanish it will be easier.

BTW, TV says Michelle Obama will go to Málaga this summer as well! What an honor for us to receive Mrs Obama and you!]]> News Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/#post-357277 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/#post-357262 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 04:03:23 +0000

Use your hands. People will understand you. :wink: I did just that in Barcelona when I was there as a teen. All my mates were made up they had a Lacoste clothes shop and a McDonalds for lunch, and I wanted to get a bit more of the real culture. I barely knew Spanish, but I did know in Barceona, they speak Catalan. Unfortunately, I knew even less Catalan. So, I ditched my mates and wandered off down side streets til I found a cafe/bar that served food and looked like one of the places all the Spanish workers went for their lunch (i.e. I peeked inside and saw Spanish faces, and I didn't hear any British accents...). I went in and was going to order, but didn't understand the menu. A lot of pointing ensued. It worked though!

Am gonna learn at least some Catalan for my next trip to Barcelona (my other 'home' city - Barcelona and NYC have my heart....). Plan to learn a little Spanish for this trip (or during this trip), but more looking to being in Spain next summer, and hope to have learned a fair bit of beginner's Spanish by then. :shock:]]> News Scrybe https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/#post-357246 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/#post-357226 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:38:13 +0000 News Apache https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/#post-357226 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/#post-357224 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:04:40 +0000 News Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/#post-357224 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/spain/#post-357215 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 17:55:16 +0000 - una cerveza
