    Welcome back!! Benvinguts i benvingudes de nou!!
    Com ha anat l'estiu? How was your summer?
    Are you ready to continue with your Catalan journey?

    We are so excited to be starting season 2! You will be progressing even further with the Podcasts this season, as we head to more intermediate territory.

    We are kicking off the season with an episode that teaches you how to talk about people's personality/character traits - you will not only learn lots of new vocabulary but practice understanding the words in the context of phrases. Plus, you will now also learn a couple of new idioms - something else that we are introducing in season 2!

    Let us know what you thought of the episode.

    As we mentioned in the episode, we are delighted to announce that we have been working on a course to help you consolidate your knowledge from season 1.
    If you feel like you would benefit from extra listening material, detailed lesson notes, language summaries, flashcards, quizzes and videos, you can sign up to the waiting list to receive a special discount once the course goes live!

  • 50. FINAL EPISODE! - HOLIDAYS - Can you talk about your holidays in different tenses? - Catalan for Beginners
    Jul 28 2024

    Send us a text

    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 (thelazylinguistpodcast@gmail.com) 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!

  • 49. The Conditional Tense - El Condicional - Catalan for Beginners
    Jul 17 2024

    Send us a text

    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 :)

Really clear to learn with.

I’ve just started learning Catalan and there is not much out there to help. This is great and I’m on episode 6 now. Really easy to follow. Thank you 😃
