Hello new spanish speaking friends. I need to learn Spanish so that I can talk to my neighbours in the little village in Spain where I hope to retire to.
Regards,
Angela

Der Tomasino, Thanks for your welcome. I've been going to the local adult school lessons once a week for about 18 months, but there is not much continuity with people of all abilities, joining and leaving. I've just heard that our city (the only one in Bancrupcy) is discontinuing classes. I study online via various "free" courses and have approx. 50 or so Spanish volcabulary C.D.'s.
What level are you at ?

Angela in CA

Dear Irmamar: Thank you for your welcome. Welsh (Gaelic) is quite similar to the Gallician dialect, or so I was told by a Gallician friend. Whereabout are you in Spain.
My little house is in a "pueblo blanco" in El Valle de Lecrin, south of Granada. Very few Brits or touristas.

Saludo,

Angela

Dear Tomasino: I think I just deleted the reply that I was trying to post !! Duh... I've got 18 months of part time conversational spanish in an "adult school" but with mixed ability classes it was pretty random. I would say I have more vocabulary than grammar. I am hoping to learn enough to get into an immersion summer school in Granada next year.

Thanks for the welcome.

Angela, you're near to Salobreña. Don't forget to visit Salobreña if you haven't done it yet, this is el pueblo azul.

I was born in Andalucía, but not in a "pueblo blanco" (or not totally "blanco"). "Pueblos blancos" are so much beautiful, I like a lot them

I live in Catalonia but I have family in Galicia (gallego is not a dialect, but a language ). So I'm able to understand almost everything in Gallego, altough I'm not able to speak it yet. I know Gallician and Gaelic share a lot of traditions and culture (gaita, for instance) because there were Celtics before Romans arrived, but I don't think they share language. Actually I know nothing about Gaelic, so I can't give a good opinion, but I think it's related to Irish language and Gallician is a romanic language. Maybe there are some common words because of the substrate there were, but I'm not sure

I have been told that Gallego is more similar to Portuguese than Spanish.
It is interesting that in Spanish Wales is Gales

El gallego y el portugués tienen un origen común, el gallego portugués. De hecho, son la misma lengua con diferencias, pero ambas han sido elevadas a la condición de lengua, al haber desaparecido la lengua madre (un dialecto no llega a tener categoría de lengua hasta que desaparece la lengua originaria). Al ser Portugal un país independiente y Galicia una comunidad autónoma en España, ambas son lenguas, no dialectos, pero su origen es común y son muy parecidas.
