Ei! Com va?
This episode is all about relationships - you will learn how to say whether you have a good/bad relationship with people (recapping family members vocabulary), verbs like 'to respect' and 'to trust', as well as practising some possessive articles like my, your, his/her but also learning how to say 'our'!
We've jam packed it but also tried to keep it a little shorter this time!
Let us know if you liked the episode :)
(If you are wondering, we are still working tirelessly behind the scenes on the course we mentioned - it is taking a lot longer to complete than expected but we want to make it as good as possible for you guys!

Welcome back! It's a long one! (Oops, Christina getting carried away and letting these go on longer and longer - we'll try to keep them shorter for you in the future!)
In this episode we delve deeper into talking about different feelings/states/emotions, and we'll see them used in many contexts, learning more new vocabulary along the way!
We'll also talk a little bit about the difference between the verbs 'ser' and 'estar' and using other phrases like 'em sento'.
Let us know what you thought of the episode!
We would love it if you left us a quick rating or even a review.
Thank you so much for listening and your support as always.

We have made it to episode 50!!
In this episode, we put everything we have learned in the last 4 lessons (and beyond) into practice by seeing if we can understand some short texts about holidays.
It's a bit of a longer one to end this season! Hopefully that's a good thing as it means extra practice, but we will try to keep future episodes to under 30 minutes :)
Thank you so much for tuning in and if you have listened to all 50 episodes - we hope they have been useful to you on your Catalan journey.
We have loved meeting a lot of you (virtually and even in person!) and we hope to meet many more of you and get to know you even more. Please don't be shy - feel free to reach out to us either over email ([email protected]) or social media (you can find linked below). Even if just for a quick hello to let us know you are listening, or also we would love feedback and to get your ideas on what more you want from the pod in season 2.
We will be back in September but in the meantime you might want to keep up with us on social media - since we are going back to Catalunya we will likely post a little on there... fins aviat!

Benvinguts i benvingudes de nou! This episode will teach you how to use the conditional tense to talk about hypothetical things - things you 'would' do... But not just 'you', as you will learn all the pronouns so you can easily manipulate lots of verbs to include talking about other people.
We hope you find it useful as always. We would love it if you rated or reviewed the pod if you haven't already.
Feel free to get in touch on our socials or through the 'Send us a text' feature for any feedback or what you want covering in future episodes.
Moltes gràcies :)

Benvinguts i benvingudes al episodi 48!
So far we've covered present and past tenses, this one is all about the future! (The most common future tense - the simple future). We hope it is simple for you to understand and use ;)
You will also learn some time expressions in the future tense so that you can use these verbs in sentences and start talking about future plans, including holiday plans!
We do lots more practice in the bonus episode so join us for that if you think you could benefit and you will also have access to lesson notes from the lessons on Patreon to help you refer to when you want to go back and recap the tenses.
The Patreon is linked below or you can find it by typing 'The Lazy Linguist' on Patreon.
Thank you as always for listening. We would love it if you rated/reviewed or shared the show with anyone you think would like it or find it useful.
Moltes gràcies!
