We also have a Patreon where you can access bonus content, detailed lesson notes and transcripts to consolidate your understanding and help you make faster progress with your Catalan. You can find it at www.patreon.com/thelazylinguist

Hola! Com va? Esperem que estiguis bé.
It has become a bit of a tradition that after every 4 lessons we do a little review episode and put our knowledge to the test!
Christina always says this but retrieval practice is key so listening to this episode and testing yourself is just as important as listening to the other episodes. It is really important to make sure we are confident with what we have learnt so far before we start adding new material so that it doesn't feel too difficult for us later on!

Learn Catalan - The Lazy Linguist Podcast - Episodi 20. QUIZ! Can you actually travel in Catalan? - Catalan for Beginners

Hola! Com estàs?
This lesson is another review lesson where we put everything we have done over the last four lessons to the test!
Follow along and see if you can beat Alex's score in this translation challenge!
Keep reading to find out how he did as we lost track of his score!...
Alex got 8/10 in the first half and 7/10 in the second half, so 15/20 altogether!
Not a bad score but he did need a fair bit of help and does still need to go over a lot of words! How are you finding the lessons? Are they too difficult? Too easy? Is it too much information to learn at this beginner stage? Christina is interested to hear your feedback so get in touch on any of our socials below!
Remember you can find detailed lesson notes and transcripts as well as bonus materials on our Patreon page. Becoming a Patron really helps us to keep this project going so we appreciate the support massively!

Learn Catalan - The Lazy Linguist Podcast - S2. E9. Giving Advice - Healthy & Unhealthy Habits - Intermediate Catalan
play

12/30/24 • 31 min

Send us a text

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 :)
