I liked what this fella had to say about subjunctives in his recent video. It’s a subject we anglophones don’t really use much, but most latin languages make a much bigger deal of it. I have read a few french books and it definitely doesn’t get as much of an airing in that language as it does in portuguese, but I think the principles and the rationale behind it carries across between languages, so the points he makes here about french, spanish and italian still hold, I think. I won’t try and summarise them – if you’re reading this and you struggling to put some junc in your trunc, have a look for yourself.

Practice Portuguese
It seems like there’s a lot going on at Practice Portuguese, everyone’s go-to European Portuguese resource. The lads are now both full-time on the project as paid work, freeing up time for their non-paid work: dadding.
But even better, they’ve got a new app out that makes it easier to use their content on a phone. This could be a real game changer for a lot of people. At the moment it’s only in beta but I’ve downloaded it and it looks good.
