Apart from the chaotic bounces you get with wine bottle shaped projectiles, the pronunciation of “Bitlles” is really difficult for guiris like us. The double “ll” in Catalan sounds nothing like it does in Spanish. Put your tongue on the roof of your mouth and say “lou.” Now try “Bitlles.” I think they might have also given us a jersey if we managed to correctly say the name of the sport we were playing.
