Susanna Griso (not everything will be flirting) gets wet with Catalan and talks about how important it is in your family

Susanna Griso y Luis Enriquez They are fashionable: since Informalia uncovered the relationship between the presenter and the former CEO of Vocento, there is no means that has not echoed the winter romance. The journalist herself naturally confirmed our scoop, the magazine Hello led both to its cover, and The presenter’s visit to Arco with her boyfriend It was an almost as widespread event as the assistance of the Kings to the Art Fair.

But not everything is flirting and being with the brand new boyfriend who has thrown the communicator after breaking with his previous love. Griso recently passed by El Hormiguero, In his own chain and granted us months ago An interesting interview But it does not usually appear on other television networks outside Atresmedia. The presenter of Public mirror Spend enough live hours every morning on Antena 3, so he rarely sits on the other side of the microphone to talk about his private life. However, its countryman Ricard Ustrell managed to convince her to participate in Col·lapse, the TV3 interview program that is broadcast on Saturday nights in Catalonia.

In this conversation, which passed entirely in Catalan, the Barcelona journalist spoke of her professional career, her concerns and, above all, her link with the Catalan language, a fundamental aspect in her life and in the education of her children. Among the issues that most interest were the question of whether their children, when raising in Madrid, have learned to speak in Catalan.

The Catalan in the home of Susanna Griso

“We have always spoken in Catalan at home, because if not, being in Madrid, it would have been impossible for them to learn it,” said Griso blunt. The journalist explained that since the birth of her children, she chose to maintain Catalan as a main language in the family, aware that linguistic immersion in Madrid could hinder her learning. As he said, the experience has not been the same with all his children. While Jan and Mireia have acquired the language without difficulties, their daughter Dorcette has had a more complex process. “Dorcette has cost us more, because until the age of five he did not school, and the new languages ​​cost him,” he said. “Although we talk to her in Catalan, she many times answers us in Spanish and Catalan, is mixing.”

The journalist also shared that, sometimes, she has had to face questions or comments in public environments about her decision to speak to her children in Catalan. “Once in some park the issue has come out of why I speak to them in Catalan, but it has been counted,” he said. However, far from considering this an obstacle, he defends that Catalan’s learning has facilitated the acquisition of other languages.

The perception of Catalan outside Catalonia

One of the most interesting points of the conversation was Susanna Griso’s reflection on the perception of Catalan in the rest of Spain. “From the outside there are people who see Catalan with contempt,” he said, referring to the extended idea that learning Catalan is less useful than learning English or French. For the journalist, this argument is a mistake. “If you want to make utilitarian use, Catalan makes it easier for you to speak other languages ​​later,” he said.

This linguistic ease is, according to the presenter, one of the great advantages of bilingualism. He compared the situation of his children with that of many young people in Madrid, who, having grown up in an environment only Spanish, have more difficulty learning other languages. “They have an ease for languages ​​that people in Madrid, who have raised in only Spanish -speaking environments, cost them much more,” he said.

Griso’s reflection connects with a linguistic reality that many bilingual families in Spain. Speaking more of a language from childhood not only allows you to maintain a link with family culture and roots, but also improves the learning ability of other languages ​​in the future.

The presenter also took advantage of the interview to share an anecdote that reflects the debate on the teaching of co -official languages ​​in Spain. “The other day he talked to a woman who told me that he changed his school son in Valencia because they forced him to learn Valencian. This is a mistake,” he said.

His comment shows the controversy that continues to exist in some autonomous communities regarding the learning of co -official languages. While some see in it an opportunity for cultural and linguistic enrichment, others perceive it as an imposition.

Griso’s posture is clear: learning Catalan or any other co -official language should not be seen as an obstacle, but as an advantage. The journalist firmly believes in the importance of bilingualism and defends that dominating more than one language from childhood is a long -term benefit. Despite having lived in Madrid years and having consolidated as one of the best known faces of national television, Susanna Griso maintains a strong link with her Catalan identity. His decision to speak in Catalan in Col·lapse is a sign of this, as well as his commitment to convey the language to his children. For Griso, Catalan is not only a mother tongue, but also a key element in his personal and family life. His defense of bilingualism reflects a vision in which languages ​​are not a barrier, but a tool for cultural communication and enrichment.

Now we know a more intimate facet of the journalist, away from the public mirror set. With his testimony, Susanna Griso put on the table a debate that remains in force in Spanish society: the importance of preserving co -official languages ​​and the value of bilingualism in an increasingly globalized world. We doubt, of course, that in intimacy with Luis Enriquez speaks Catalan, as Aznar with Jordi Pujol did when he needed his votes like Pedro Sánchez those of Puigdemont. We will ask Susanna if Luis speaks Catalan in intimacy.
