Continuing my grabbag method of language learning.

Today: started learning preterite in portuguese by brute forcing linguno. I started with the 11 verbs I knew in the present, but it got too frustrating, so I pared it down to five and started adding more as I learned.

Also: Made some cards for the passive construction in Spanish. There's lot of stuff I just understand without thinking about it, but need to study consciously to reproduce.
