Today, I am revising Portuguese grammar and so I've mostly been exploring the things I can remember well and those that I can't. Portuguese has a lot of verb forms that I need to get right. But it also has really interesting constructions like "ir ter com" which literally means "to go to have with" but is an idiomatic way of saying "to meet up" (with someone) and I keep remembering and forgetting it.

The phrase looks like "intercom." Maybe visualize some kind of mnemonic based on that -- buzzing the call button at a friend's apartment and asking if they want to meet up.

What do you use to revise this? Did you download or make an Anki deck?
