I think this festival and exhibition is going to be a very big deal. I
hope I can find a way to attend.
In preparing the announcement I had to learn how to read a bit of
Catalan, because I didn't like the official translations. Catalan is an
interesting blend of langue d'oc, Italian, and French. Not so much
Spanish. One problem when you learn a language by reading is that I have
no idea how to pronounce anything, and cannot speak it at all. I asked
Lluis how to pronounce Revela-T; he gave a long answer in an interesting
mixture of French, English, and Catalan. My summary using American vowel
sounds: reh-vay-LAH.
50 years ago I had a short-term job in Valbonne, and was forced to learn
langue d'oc so I could understand what my co-workers were saying to each
other. I was afraid they were talking about me, but of course they
weren't. They hardly knew I existed.
