something more than Spanish!



As we all know Spain is a very interesting country with a rich culture and many tourism places worth visiting. But there are a few people which know that there are more than one official language .  Unsurprinsingly, the official and common used is Spanish. There are some languages spoken in various part of this country. Some of these langauges dominate in their regions. For example, there are more people in Basque Country and Catalonia which prefer to speak Basque and Catalan than Castilian ( this name can be use replacable with Spanish). Of course, they will understand you if you speak Spanish, but it would be great for them if you know some basic words in their language:)  Besides Basque and Catalan, according to Spanish constitution, there is one more official language - Galician. It's quite similar to Portugues and it's spoken in Galicia- a region of Spain situated on the north-west part of country. All languages , except from Basque, are quite easy to pick up if you know Castilian. So this is one more reason to start studing Spanish:)
