In this episode we dive deeper into the imperfect tense!

Make sure you listen to the last episode where we talked about the imperfect and the singular forms of common verbs before you listen to this one.

In this one we look at the plural conjugations as well as some of the strange irregularities that happen to the root of a lot of verbs in this tense in Catalan!

We hope it wasn't too confusing for you! The lesson notes/language summaries on Patreon might help you consolidate everything you learned further and will act as useful resources to refer back to.

Any feedback is welcome as always :)

Fins aviat!

Hola! This episode is all about using the superlative in Catalan.

You'll learn how to say the most or the least of things, for example the most interesting, the least funny, the most fun etc... also the words for tallest/shorterst/fastest/slowest etc, which use the same structure.

The words for the best and the worst are a bit different though so we practice them as well!

If you enjoy the Podcast and haven't already, we'd really appreciate a quick rating or review - and make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode!

Fins la propera :)

Hola! Com va? This is part 2 on the perfect tense! Last lesson we learned the basic use and formation of the singular pronouns, this episode will focus on a lot of the irregularities with the past participles as well as teach you how to use the rest of the pronouns so that you can talk about what a variety of people have done in the past!

We hope you enjoyed it and found it useful. If you do enjoy the Pod please don't forget to give a little rating or review as it really means a lot!

If you want more practice you can see a lot of these verbs in a dialogue that we unpick in the bonus episode on Patreon! The lesson notes and language summary will as always be available there too.

Don't forget to check us out on social media as well - we are trying to bit a little more active on Instagram! @lazylinguistcatalan

Welcome back! Thanks for stopping by.

This episode goes into detail on how and when we use the perfect tense - another common past tense! We learned the perifràstic tense in season 1, but this season we want to be able to use multiple tenses and use them in the right way, as this is often something that learners find tricky!

Hope you find it useful!

Benvinguts a un altre episodi! Welcome to another episode!
We've previously talked about health, but focussed more on physical health and how to take care of your body, but taking care of your mind is just as important!
This episode dives into a few ways of expressing emotions or situations like feeling pressure, stress, overwhelm etc, as well as some of the things you can do to look after your mental health. It's great for when you want to have those deeper chats in Catalan and not just always resort to 'bé' when asked how you are!

We hope you enjoy it!

If you want more, feel free to check out the bonus episode and extra resources on Patreon - vocabulary summaries and detailed lesson notes from the episode.

We also just want to say a big thank you to anyone who has purchased the Beginner's course - estem desbordats amb el suport! 
Esperem que us sigui util :)

Ei! Com va?

This is a review episode where Alex and you are put to the test! Do you remember the language from the last four episodes on different food types and healthy/unhealthy lifestyles? Try the quiz and see how you get on!

We then practise a lot of this language even more in the context of a conversation, by hearing and dissecting a dialogue.

Let us know how you did and how you found the episode! If you are on Spotify you can leave a comment or get in touch on our socials :)

Ei! Com va? Bon any! (If you are listening just before or around the new year!)
This episode is a part 2 to the last episode where we talked about healthy and unhealthy habits.

We break down a dialogue which is one person giving advice to someone else about their unhealthy habits.

There is some language that practises what was learned in the previous episode and some new language which we see in a natural context of a dialogue.
Remember that the detailed lesson notes provide some more context and explanations of some of the grammar points that we didn't have time to go through in this video.

We hope you have enjoyed learning Catalan with us this year. As we said in the Podcast, we can't give you enough thanks for your support and love for the show. We love receiving your messages and knowing that we are making an impact to you. We hope to continue to help you with your Catalan goals in 2025!

Fins aviat :)
