It's not only about hard work!
I’m a fan of doing enjoyable activities to practice a foreign language. Quick example: follow a cooking video in your target language to prepare food. Or read a book!
I believe when you choose a book to read, it’s because you want to enjoy it and relax. And this is what I want with “Quando o passado bate à porta”. I want you to relax and read in Portuguese!
