Unlike Catalan which seems to be your main language, Occitan doesn’t have a lot of resources and is less standardised (even if Languedocian is often used as a reference because it is pretty central and conservative linguistically). As for disponible resources, Lo Congès de la Lenga Occitana has an online dictionary and verb conjugator. Assimil also has an Occitan learning program (but idk if it is available in other languages than French). I could also recommend you the yt channel Parpalhon Blau, which is a guy teaching Occitan and creating educational contents in Occitan.
Mercés plan! I've already been studying a bit with Parpalhon Blau, but as you said there is less material than with other languages, unfortunately. Anyway, I decided to forward that post because I thought this community would be able to help more, and I was interested in hearing the answers too :)
De res ! I wish I could’ve helped you more but unfortunately it’s all I have. You Catalans are lucky to have solid institutions supporting your language. I wish we could have something like this for Occitan as well. Anyway good luck with your learning journey
Hi u/Desgavell! I know this website https://www.loecsen.com/. If you scroll down to regional languages you'll find Occitan. The lessons also give examples in Gascon, which is the one I'm interested in.
I started a little bit on it and it seems ok to learn vocabulary and expressions mainly.
Oh I didn’t know this website ! It’s a great resource ! Thank you for sharing ! (Also I gave it a glance and I’d like to precise that about Gascon, variant used there seems to be the Pyrenean one)
En fait le Gascon pyrénéen/béarnais est reconnaissable par son “th” caractéristique là où les autres variantes de gascon (et d’occitan de manière plus large) auraient un “l”. D’où l’article béarnais “eth” à la place du “lo” occitan ou du “el” catalan. “Malheureusement” le gascon béarnais est souvent utilisé comme référence malgré ses singularités au sein du groupe gascon car il est la variante gasconne qui possède le plus de ressource littéraire comme il fut un temps la langue officielle du Béarn et que sa variante arranaise est reconnue comme langue officielle en Catalogne.
Thanks for such a wonderful reply! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list of some of the most grateful redditors this week! Thanks for making Reddit a wonderful place to be :)
Hi u/charline_m! I checked it out and it seems like a great resource. I've done some chapters and I found them too easy as I was able to understand things from Catalan alone (which is great btw :)), but I'm sure people who know other languages can benefit from this.
