    • Lots of people forget that in Spain, there are 4 official languages (Castillian, Catalan, Gallician and Basque).
    Normally if you study 'spanish' in school, you're learning castillian.
    In Barcelona they speak catalan. It has the same roots, so you can recognise some words, you should be fine.

    You rarely find an inscription in castillian or french or english. That's because of their oppression by General Franco; catalan was a forbidden language until 1975.
