Send us a text In this episode, we dive deeper into the imperfect tense by talking about what our school routines used to be like. You'll review common daily routine verbs, learn time expressions, and build longer sentences in context. Through storytelling, guided practice, and a short dialogue, you’ll get comfortable using the imperfect tense to describe past habits. Great for intermediate learners looking to make their Catalan more natural and fluid! The current group classes are going so well that I would love to do more in September, so I am just trying to get an idea of interest and available dates/times for everyone.
