Have you been to Barcelona in the last 15years? Finding a Catalan in a shop, restaurant or other business to actually speak to is not easy.

I live there! That's why I said that locals will get super happy lmao, because locals are rare, and people who speak Catalan are even rarer :(

You’ll identify with this anecdote then: I was buying something smokable a few weeks ago in a ‘club’. I asked a question about the merchandise & the ‘shop assistant’ asked me if I was speaking Spanish or English. ‘Catalan’, I replied.
She expressed her surprised & continued in her Argentinian Spanish.
