my best friend used my correct pronouns <3 (i use they/them, but since we speak spanish its less accepted by ppl)

happy for you!

the language of pronouns is very interesting - we talked about this a little in this episode of Writing our Own Dictionary.

we also have an entire guide for nonbinary language use in Spanish here which we developed with It Gets Better México!

Holaa, I was watching the video of Alexia "magic trick", I ́m not spanish and I was wondering something.

Does Alexia speak catalan with her family or spanish ? Because I know she is catalan but I flet like I heard spanish when she talks to her sister.

Also, I have another question about catalan. You said that Patri did not speak catalan, and as I thought they spoke catalan in the Balearic Islands and she comes from there, I wonder what explains this (and it seems to me that Cata who also comes from there speaks it) ?

I am new to women’s football and I really enjoy reading your blog (even if my questions aren’t really about football ^^), so thank youu, I learn a lot because of you !

no, no, no. you need to re-watch the video again because alexia speaks a few sentences in spanish and then the rest of the video they are speaking in catalan. alexia speaks catalan with her family. she's born and raised in barcelona from a catalan family.

spanish and catalan are romance languages, so there are many similar words in spanish and catalan. however, if you are in "mixed" company, sometimes you will default to spanish, so that everyone in a gathering can understand.

patri comes from a spanish speaking family in mallorca, so she did not grow up speaking mallorquín (a dialect of catalan), although she understands it. cata comes from a mallorquín speaking family, as does mariona, in mallorca, so that is their first language.

also, if you watch her documentary, all alexia's scenes with her family are in catalan and the rest of the interviews are in spanish:
