Spain is a country full of languages! In this episode, We explore the fascinating patchwork of languages and dialects across Spain. From the nationwide dominance of Castellano to the co-official languages like Catalan/Valencian, Galician, Basque, and even Aranese, each carries deep history, identity, and politics. We share our personal experiences navigating life in Valencia, where Valenciano sits alongside Spanish in schools, workplaces, and everyday life. Along the way, we unpack the difference between a dialect and a language, why these distinctions matter, and how language shapes everything from bureaucracy to the playground. Whether you’re curious about Spain’s linguistic diversity or considering life here yourself, this episode offers both cultural insight and on-the-ground perspective.
