Barcelona may not be going to the Champions League 2010 Final but at least they still have Gaudi, Ferran Adria and their own language. Barcelona as the capital of the Autonomous region of Catalonia celebrates the uniqueness of having Catalan as a co-official language next to Spanish. So when in Barcelona if you really want to be respected by the locals, shelf the Spanish and drop in a little courtesy Catalan. Here are a few phrases to get you started:
Good Morning = Bon matí
Please = Si us plau
Excuse Me = Excusi'm
Thank You = Gràcies
Goodbye = Adéu
Chocolate = Xocolata
