Catalan speakers speak Castelian as well, but Castelian speakers don't speak Catalan. In Catalonia, nearly all signs are written in both Catalan and Castelian.

Do you really live in Barcelona?
Hey I'm from Barcelona and I live here, and for sure, a lot of catalan people speak english. For sure Barcelona is not like i. Amsterdam, Stockholm or other cities from the north of Europe where almost everybody speak english. Please, let me put an objection , and clarify two of the points that Adrian wrote so kindly Here is my objection:. And if so, I think it would be due to small mind slips So kids learn both languages at the same time from day one.
Many studies and national tests certify that the level of Spanish of kids in Catalonia, is on national average. Oversimplified; your kids will learn Spanish as decently as average places in Spain and, also, Catalan. Also , Barcelona is a very multicultural and modern city, there is literally lots of local and foreign English Speakers I'm self thaugt myself First of all thank u very much for your help.
I would like also to ask if you can recommend an internet site as far as renting or selling houses privat and not from real estate agencies. We hope we find great help in Barcelona because we don't know people there and it will be a big and risky step for us. That was my experience - I guess experiences can vary widely, although mine does not seem to have been very different from other expats'.
Of course this is a generalization and of course there are people that speak English - but they are not relevant in the context of this question, at least not per my experience. For me, moving here was immensely complicated by my lack of Spanish knowledge at that time: renting a house, getting a mobile number, getting my internet connection at home, talking to my landlord, opening a bank account, etc.
Indeed, I moved here coming from Amsterdam where literally everybody speaks perfect English, so the shock was even bigger. You'd have to work with real estate agents or relocation companies that speak English and cater for expats and that will carry a heavy price tag. When renting, expect a one month fee to go to the realtor. Plus some hundreds, maybe thousands for notary. I did the math and unless one lives for at least 5 years in the house, it's cheaper to rent than buy.
