Ell també vol anar al museu dissabte.

Yes. Catalan often omits subject pronouns because the verb form usually makes the subject clear.

So both of these are possible:

• Ell també vol anar al museu dissabte.
• També vol anar al museu dissabte.

Including ell adds emphasis or contrast, like he too or he, as well.

També means also or too.

In this sentence, it comes after the subject:

• Ell també vol... = He also wants...

That is a very natural position in Catalan.
You will often see també placed before the part of the sentence it relates to.

For example:

• Ell també vol anar... = he also wants to go
• Ell vol també anar... = possible, but less natural here

So the original word order is the most normal one.

Exactly. Vol is the 3rd person singular of voler (to want), and anar means to go.

So:

• vol = wants
• anar = to go
• vol anar = wants to go

This is a common pattern in Catalan:

• vull menjar = I want to eat
• volen sortir = they want to leave

Unlike English, Catalan does not use a separate word like to before the second verb in this structure.

Al is the contraction of:

• a
  • el = al

So:

• al museu = to the museum

This contraction is required in normal Catalan.

Similar contractions include:

• del = de + el
• als = a + els

So anar al museu is the correct form, not anar a el museu.

In Catalan, days of the week often appear without an article when you mean a specific upcoming day or simply name the day as a time expression.

So:

• dissabte = on Saturday

In this sentence, dissabte works like an adverb of time.

However, with an article, the meaning can change:

• el dissabte can mean on Saturdays or sometimes refer to Saturday in a more marked way, depending on context

So here, dissabte is the natural choice for Saturday as the planned day.

By itself, dissabte usually means on Saturday, and the exact meaning depends on context.

In a sentence like this, most learners should understand it as:

• on Saturday
• often this coming Saturday, if that fits the situation

Catalan, like English, often leaves that kind of detail for context rather than stating it explicitly.

Putting the time expression at the end is very natural in Catalan.

So:

• Ell també vol anar al museu dissabte.

is a normal word order.

You could also move it for emphasis:

• Dissabte, ell també vol anar al museu.

That sounds more like As for Saturday, he also wants to go to the museum.

So the original version is neutral and everyday.

Sometimes yes, but the meaning or emphasis may shift.

Compare:

• Ell també vol anar al museu dissabte.
  = He also wants to go to the museum on Saturday.

• Ell vol anar també al museu dissabte.
  = He wants to go to the museum too / as well, but this is less natural in this context.

Catalan allows some flexibility, but subject + també + verb is very common and usually the safest pattern for learners.

In standard Catalan, ell is pronounced roughly like ey with a palatal sound at the start, often represented as /eʎ/.

For an English speaker, the ll is not exactly the same as English l. It is a sound similar to the lli in some pronunciations of million, though not identical.

Very roughly:

• ell ≈ ehly compressed into one syllable

Depending on the dialect, pronunciation can vary a bit, but the spelling ll is very common in Catalan and worth getting used to.

No. Vol is used for:

• ell vol = he wants
• ella vol = she wants
• vostè vol = you want (formal singular)

So the verb form does not tell you whether it is he, she, or formal you. The subject pronoun or context tells you that.

Almost, but not perfectly.

Word by word:

• Ell = he
• també = also / too
• vol = wants
• anar = go
• al museu = to the museum
• dissabte = Saturday / on Saturday

A natural English version would be:

• He also wants to go to the museum on Saturday.

The biggest difference is that English usually needs to before go, while Catalan just uses the infinitive anar after vol.
