We're getting bossy in this episode!

Com va? Esperem que estiguis bé!

In this episode, we’re focusing on one of the most useful parts of everyday Catalan: the imperative – how to give commands, instructions, and suggestions.

Using the theme of chores and daily tasks, you’ll learn how to tell someone to clean, tidy, organise, and help around the house – all in natural, real-life Catalan.

We’ll cover:

• How to form the informal imperative (for friends, family, people you know well)
• A quick introduction to the formal imperative
• How to use negative commands
• Practical, everyday phrases you can start using immediately

By the end of the episode, you’ll be able to say things like:

• Clean the kitchen!
• Take out the rubbish!
• Don’t leave your clothes on the floor!

Perfect for learners who want to sound more natural and confident in everyday situations.

In this one-off special episode, Christina is joined by Júlia, one of our Catalan tutors at The Lazy Linguist, for a relaxed, bilingual chat in English and Catalan.

This episode is your chance to get to know Júlia a little bit - where she’s from and her background, while also enjoying some real-life Catalan listening practice with a native speaker. Christina guides you through the conversation, explaining key phrases and helping you get the most out of the Catalan you hear.

Júlia is currently teaching private students and will soon be running group Catalan programmes, making it easier for more learners to get personalised support with their Catalan.
