Practice Ordering Street Food in 加泰罗尼亚语
Street food is where the most authentic 加泰罗尼亚语 conversations happen — fast, casual, and full of regional dialect. This scenario rehearses how to read a stall menu, ask 'what's good today?', specify spice level or fillings, and pay quickly without holding up the line. You'll learn the relaxed register vendors use (it's not the formal restaurant register) and the small phrases that tell vendors you're a regular: 'the usual', 'a bit more', 'extra hot'. Practise this and you'll order like a local instead of a tourist.

常见问题
Should I use formal or informal 加泰罗尼亚语 at a street food stall?
Informal — vendors are usually casual and friendly. Using overly formal 加泰罗尼亚语 actually marks you as a tourist.
How do I ask 'what's good today?' in 加泰罗尼亚语?
There's a friendly construction — the 加泰罗尼亚语 equivalent of 'What do you recommend today?' — that almost always gets you a personal tip.
Can I haggle prices at 加泰罗尼亚语-speaking street food stalls?
Generally no — fixed prices are the norm at food stalls, even when haggling is fine at markets. The scenario doesn't teach haggling for food.
What's the 加泰罗尼亚语 word for 'spicy'?
There's a specific word, plus a graded vocabulary for 'a bit spicy', 'very spicy', and 'not too spicy'. We include all of these.
