I will soon move to Santiago de Compostela, do you know some Spanish instance so that I may find someone from over there to talk with?

@rastinza 👋

we have mastodon.gal

it's galician culture/region oriented, but not centered in any fixed topic.

You can read the Terms, and ask @nekerafa if you could apply for "membership" 😅

Anyway, welcome to Galicia (Santigago)

Follow

@ghose
Thank you!
I will not change instance but I will start following some people from over there, so we can have some nice talks when I'm there and get to know what's going on.

I guess I'll have to learn Galego once I'm there, is it similar to Spanish?
@nekerafa

@rastinza @ghose hii. The galician is more simple than spanish in the way that we don't have present perfect or another verbal constructions. Also, if you learn galician, there's a little step to talk with our portuguese brothers and sisters.

Spite of not speaking galician, if you prefer to learn and also connect with galician members, you're welcome to our instance.

@nekerafa
Thanks! Then I'll definitely learn it, since it would be nice to also pick up Portuguese.
I'll first perfect my Spanish though, I can speak it but I wish to become much more proficient.
I make a lot of errors when writing as well...
@ghose

@rastinza @ghose the only bad of living in Santiago is the weather is rainy. I don't know which part of Italy are you from, but I think so you need to bring rain clothing before you move from here :ablobjoy: :ablobjoy:

@rastinza more similar to portuguese actually, but you'll can use spanish without problems (both official languages), in fact, spanish is much more used in many contexts/environments

As it happens in many european regions, culture and history do not match current borders

@ghose
I'll mostly be talking English at my workplace, but for sure speaking some Galego will be useful when I'm out.
I enjoy meeting people and talking their favourite language definitely helps!
