So now you imagine me in my very limited Castellano appologising that I "habla muy poco Espanol y muy muy muy poco Gallego". I guess it was very charming because I was treated as a family memberI always start in Spanish with an apology that my spanish is very basic.
Why is Mikel?Or you could treat yourself to a walk with Mikel. Highly recommended.

Hi there,
My Mum and I are tentatively looking to walk from Sarria to Santiago in May next year. We had been going to do it on a tour but have decided to 'go for it' and be our own guides. We want to learn as much language as we possibly can but I'm unsure of what we should be learning. My Mum started on DuoLingo but it turns out that's Latin-American Spanish, I was doing European Spanish through Earworms but have just found out that in Galicia they primarily speak Galician which is actually closer to Portuguese. So now I'm not sure what to focus my attention on!
Any insight much appreciated, we want to be able to communicate at a basic level, and show respect for the people in the areas we are visiting.

Text book Spanish from the US served me well. The main problem I had was learning how to listen to the different accents and pronunciations. People understood me fine. Good luck with your studies and I commend you for your desire to converse in the local language.
