Can Spanish and French speakers understand Catalan? | Mutual Intelligibility Challenge

In this video, we explore the mutual intelligibility of Catalan, Spanish, and French — three distinct Romance languages. Join us as speakers from Mexico, Catalonia and Quebec converse and find common linguistic ground, highlighting the nuances and overlaps between their languages. If you’re interested in language comparisons, or simply want to witness a friendly exchange, this is for you. 🤓 Mutual intelligibility refers to the ability of speakers of different languages to understand each other without prior knowledge or study. 🤗 BIG THANKS to Jan, Max and Marco (@_marcobaez) for making this video possible. 📝 Volunteer your language skills for future videos → 🕰 Time Stamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:24 - 1.
