Portuguese, Spaniards and Italians: which language do you use when visiting each others' nations?

Catalan is mandatory in schools

So are Welsh and Basque in their respective regions/countries (tick off whichever you prefer).

and besides catalan and castillian are quite similar. That helps a lot.

Now that is probably the main factor. Welsh is rather different from English and Basque isn't even Indo-European.

P.S. Welsh has some words from Latin and French less present in English that speakers of Romance languages should recognise: werdd, eglwys, dillun, dimawrdd, dimerched.

One particularly odd link between Welsh and Catalan is that both are full of ll's.

so many 'w' is quite misleading to romance speakers.
