Jisalik according to this http://www.krysstal.com/spoken.html English is second. However, the general drift of your message is correct.

Most of the Catalans that i have spoken to, about Tortosa, agree that it has lost its way and has been hampered by self interest from politicians and has been isolated, in its thinking for far too long. Hence the brain drain to Barcelona of the best students.

Oh and btw Nen, these conversations have been conducted in Catalan, Spanish and English, sometimes all in one sentence. Now thats multilingual.
