1. Are Catalan language(Català) and Spanish lanuguage(Castellano) mutually intelligible?

2. Are Galician language(Galego) and Spanish language(Castellano) mutually intelligible?

3. How come Spanish language is not as big/popular as German or French in Europe?

GET A VIDA >>
Lo amo porque es mi VIDA. Porque cuando leo cosas como estas en español me hace sentir algo que no te lo puedo explicar con palabras:

¿Qué es poesía?, dices mientras clavas
en mi pupila tu pupila azul.
¿Qué es poesía?, ¿Y tú me lo preguntas?
Poesía...eres tú.

With the translation in english i don't feel the same,sorry
What is poetry?
you say while you fix
in my pupil your blue pupil;
What is poetry! And you ask it to me?
Poetry... is you.

I think it is something you cannot undertand:


España, mi natura, Italia my ventura, Flandes mi sepultura.

al final de su VIDA, la lengua espanola no se acurrucara alrededor de su cama y le consolara en sus ultimos momentos en la terra...

Spanish is popular in Europe. people learn English or German because it is needed but doesn't really like it, while they learn Spanish because they like it.

So why don't you and Ms. Spanish (or Señor Spanish, if you go that way) go get a room somewhere and leave the rest of us alone.

Your annoying and incessant plugging of Spanish reminds me of certain religious fervor

Can't you just love Spanish by yourself?

Te equivocas. Seguro que mi último aliento de vida será para decir algo en español:
Mamá, Te Quiero.

Es mentira que sea mentira. En Francia e Italia el español es muy popular. Italia + Francia = 120 millones de habitantes = 33% of European population

That has everything to do with Mom, and I respect that.
