letter from a student in Catalan Telemadrid
Topic: Letter to a student CATALAN Telemadrid
Letter from Capellades.
Here I send a letter made by a guy going to Capellades Telemadrid.
I would like you were running to all your contacts so that
know what really happens in Catalonia.
see if sending it to many people can reach the very eyes of the program
Telemadrid. The information will make us free ... or so they say.
Here was the letter:
writing this letter to Telemadrid, I hope to read it and put in my
place (I know it will not be). I speak in Castilian to
understand me with ease and not have to strain to use a translator.
I've seen the documentary called "second-class citizens' and you know what?
made me mourn. Sounds painful, right? I do not care, I have no hesitation in showing my feelings.
I tell you, my name is Arnaud, I'm from a town of 'Anoia' (Barcelona province) called Capellades, about 5000 people, I have been schooled all my life in public school, where I have highlighted and I have always been just in time to pass courses, leading to repeat 1, high school. I am currently pursuing and 2 of this course, I have eighteen years. However, I consider myself fully capable of presenting either oral or written arguments in any language, the Argentine.
And not only do I dare say this, but I dare say I do not know anyone who is not able to. I also feel able to speak with ease in their language, I am able to sit before you and express my feelings in Castilian with ease.
The alleged discrimination in education have been Catalan, a language I may know more than you and use theirs at its maximum level, I have nothing to envy a person my age who lives in Madrid and I say this from experience.
Do not think I can read Don Quixote? I've read, it's two years ago, at 16. Do I feel incapable of reading the Lazarillo de Tormes or 'La Celestina'? They are wrong. Do you think I do not like Lorca? Do you think I do not like Machado? They are wrong. Do you think that Castilian is a foreign language for me? But it is my second language!, The domino to perfection, read books in Castilian forever!, In fact, since first I am forced to read three books per year and Castilian primary also had to read one year, also my high school includes a course called Literature Castellana. But I also read on their own initiative in Castilian, in my leisure time I read all the Harry Potter novels in Castilian.
I'm not closed-minded, well-understood diversity in a culture that does not eat the other is an enriching from my humble point of view. I am Catalan independence of these bad, as would Joel Joan and Mikimoto.
they could put a roll of 25 pages because I'm Catalan and not English, but I will summarize it in one sentence:
Because we are in the XXI century and I feel like it.
What will you do, gentlemen? "What did Philip V? "What he did Primo de Rivera? "What did Franco? Or if I'm manipulating the story and these famous people (for you) was an eminent respect for human rights and freedom of expression? I will not go into the historical details of each of these characters, because then I can not be accused of changing the story, as you always do. We all know that history is written by the victors. Incidentally, my grandfather was a Catholic, but Catalan, killed one of three men who did you want to do to my country, destroy it. Tell
too, and resuming the previous thread, in my school not all subjects are common in Catalan: I've done, mathematics, philosophy, literature, English and social Castilian, in the other subjects, the majority of teachers
choose to answer in the language in which you ask, am totally bad thing because I think eventually end up replacing the Castilian Catalan in the classroom, relegating therefore the family use.
Languages \u200b\u200bare like species, must be protected, the extinction of a language, would have to be traumatic in the eyes of any man (a English, for example), otherwise, this demonstrates a total linguistic racism, imperialism , a little feeling that he believed missing from English citizen.
speak Catalan not to bother. If you do not keep alive Catalan, nobody will do for us, we are with this moral obligation. "Racist, us? In all, we welcome everyone who does not want to destroy our culture by imposing their own, I do not have that neighbor, but to respect the status of the ladder and if not, if you seek to destroy my staircase, I ask with all education in the world to leave. The Catalans can not be racist, our roots are crossbred to 100% and proud, yes sir, I am proud Andalusian immigration of 60, very proud, most of my friends have Andalusian roots, but they Catalans are considered and they are both like me, no doubt ...
Moreover, as we can be considered racist if we have as president a man of Andalusian origin and very difficult to speak Valencian, would it be if the reverse may in Andalusia or Madrid? I do not understand. Racists are you, who want to impose their thinking in a foreign place, seeing as the thought of the people of this place less and less valid, creating a clear discrimination between people, you can cross, therefore, racist.
I hope you read my letter, I have done quick, messy and I have not made a prior scheme Argentina as my teacher says. I hope you can read between the lines. You to know that the tears shed I have watered my conscience that lies open and desire for freedom to my people. 'Bark, then ride' as they say in Castilian.
I leave you with a phrase in Catalan, as in his documentary:
Let them rage llàgrimes Meves ofeguin Vostro GADES ignorance
