Looking for Catalan Pen Pal
Hello y’all,
I am 31M person living in Aotearoa New Zealand, though originally from Texas. My grandmother, a few years prior to her death, had told us about how her mom and dad spoke a weird brand of Spanish after emigrating from Europe. After piecing together the history; documents; and genetics, it does seem like they were from Catalunya.
Because of language discrimination, my mom and uncle learned Spanish in the Mexican school system and at home. Ironically, my parents did the same thing to me with English being the sole language growing up. So with all that being said, I would like to find someone who can teach me about the culture and maybe family history via email and handwritten letters?
I know there are resources in the sidebar, and I have looked through them. Still, I feel it would be better to learn from a person to make it more personable. I can offer stories of my travels across the planet and maybe some kiwi themed postcards and stamps, as well as advice for visiting Aotearoa New Zealand and/or Japan.
Thanks!
