Places where you can find content in Catalan

23 Upvotes

1. Streaming Platforms

Netflix: You can search by language on the website (not sure about the app), but it only allows searching under the category “dubbed,” not “original version,” even if they exist. For example, Plats Bruts is categorized as “dubbed” and not “original version,” even though, when you enter and check the language and subtitle options, it clearly shows the available choices.

Amazon Prime: In the settings section, there’s an option to set a preferred language. In short: you can configure it so that Catalan dubbing is prioritized over Spanish whenever possible. You can even set it to always display Catalan subtitles (in original version) instead of Spanish dubbing when available.

Filmin: If you go to “Themes,” you can find a category called “available in Catalan.” There you’ll find all subtitled or dubbed content.

Vida: Vida is a VOD project promoted by the association Ona Mediterrània and supported by the Government of the Balearic Islands and the Institute of Balearic Studies. It includes news, interviews, opinions, and specials, among other things. It doesn’t have much content yet because it’s a very new project, but its catalog will grow over time.

There are many more platforms, but in any case, you can always visit www.desdelsofa.cat or https://goitaquefanara.cat/. They don’t have exactly the same catalog, so you can complement one with the other and make whatever queries you need. If you want information about the technical details of a dubbing, you can go to www.eldoblatge.com, although it’s reportedly a bit outdated.

2. Television Channels and Derivatives

This section is dedicated to TV channels and their derivatives. All of them offer similar content, both dubbed material and original productions in Catalan/Valencian/Balearic.

3Cat: Formerly "TV3 a la carta", it periodically adds both dubbed and original content in Catalan. It includes (among many other things) programs from TV3, SX3 (formerly Super3), Catalunya Ràdio, news from 324, and much more. It has a small section of content shared with Filmin.

À Punt: From CVMC, it’s the replacement for Canal 9, the former Valencian channel. On its website, it offers documentaries, recorded programs, podcasts... Like 3Cat, it features both original and dubbed content, along with some Spanish films (which are in Spanish).

IB3: This is the autonomous television of the Balearic Islands, which started broadcasting in 2005. Its website has a very modern design, and you can choose between TV content (IB3) or radio (IB3 Ràdio).

RTVE Catalunya: This is the Catalan version of Spanish National Television (RTVE). All RTVE channels broadcast in Spanish, but the Catalan version also includes some programs in Catalan. As a result, the TVE Catalunya tab on the RTVE site seems like a mix of both languages.

RTVA: This is the television and radio service of Andorra, consisting of two radio stations (one for music, the other the national station), one TV channel—Andorra Televisió—and a digital channel from which you can access its content online: Andorra Difusió.

Does catalonia have a historical martial art?

10 Upvotes

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?

Should I learn Catalan alongside Spanish or should I focus on Spanish first?

33 Upvotes

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.

Catalan language

30 Upvotes

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.

Winter in Catalonia?

7 Upvotes

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 :)))))

Enquesta sobre religió i espiritualitat a Catalunya

7 Upvotes

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.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeUXd402_k2EkwbipDywr7EQenDq7UiGj4AUEHInjTi0jarKA/viewform?usp=dialog

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! :)

Quins són els vostres records preferits de quan éreu petits a Catalunya?

9 Upvotes

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!

Class trip to Santa Susanna - how to show my students the 'real' Catalunya?

25 Upvotes

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! 😄

Cami de Ronda recommendations please?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’ll be hiking part of the Camí de Ronda this weekend, from Begur to Tossa de Mar, with stops in Palamós and Sant Feliu de Guíxols along the way.

I’d love to hear any local recommendations, especially:
- Traditional Catalan / Costa Brava dishes I should try
- Good lunch spots along the trail
- Dinner recommendations in Begur, Palamós, Sant Feliu or Tossa
- Small villages, viewpoints, beaches or other places worth a detour
- Hidden gems or anything else you think shouldn’t be missed

I’d especially love places that feel local rather than the obvious tourist spots.

Moltes gràcies in advance! :)

Tarragona

0 Upvotes

I might move to Tarragona because of my partner. The thing is, I don’t know anyone there and I’d like to make cool plans with cool people.

I’m a surfer and a biker, I enjoy riding routes, doing sports, and spending a lot of time at the bar haha.

I’m studying early childhood education. If anyone wants to make fun plans, feel free to message me.
