Publisher's Synopsis
As the title and subtitle indicate, this book is intended to be a basic introduction for beginners who would like to begin studying Catalan, or at least learn the basics. This is book does NOT contain exercises, pictures, tourist information or sound files. It DOES contains information regarding pronunciation, phrases useful in daily life, important vocabulary and basic grammar. This book represents the Catalan language as it is spoken in the Catalonian region of Spain (a standardized Catalan which excludes regional dialectical differences). For those who are interested in learning the Valencian language or comparing the differences between Catalan and Valencian, I have published books with Amazon and CreateSpace on those topics. The book for learning Valencian is called "Learning Valencian on the Go" and the other book is called "Catalan and Valencian on the Go". I sincerely hope you will enjoy this book and find it helpful in some way. And if that turns out to be the case, please leave a customer review or recommend it to your friends and others you know or meet! Thank you!Table of Contents: Introduction - . Pronunciation -.
