Hola Yaprendices! What's your Spanish goal this week? New week, new opportunity to practice. 👀 Your goal doesn't have to be huge. In fact, smaller + specific = easier to actually follow through on. This week, choose ONE thing you want to do in Spanish. Maybe you want to: 🗣️ Have a 5-minute conversation 🎧 Listen to a Spanish podcast 📖 Read an article or short story 🎬 Watch an episode of something in Spanish ✍🏽 Write a short paragraph 💬 Use 3 new expressions in conversation 📱 Leave a comment in Spanish Complete this sentence: Esta semana, mi meta en español es ________. Bonus: Tell us how you're going to make it happen. For example: Esta semana, mi meta en español es escuchar un podcast durante 10 minutos, por lo menos tres veces esta semana. or Mi meta es usar tres expresiones nuevas cuando hable con mi amiga.

Ok quick question! Ok…is it weird that I struggle with subtitles being in English? Like when I watch series, movies in Spanish…I leave the subtitles in Spanish….I put the subtitles in English and it’s harder to follow when listening to the Spanish 😵‍💫like am I crazy? lol

Hola Yaprendices, It's time to set our goals for the week. What is ONE thing you want to be able to do in Spanish by Friday? Set a goal for yourself for this week. For example, learn 10 new vocab words, purchase that Spanish language book you've been thinking about, have a conversation in Spanish with that one co-worker, or even something not even related to Spanish learning (because how you do anything is how you do everything). Let's share and check in with each other by Friday to see how we did!

Hola Yaprendices!! One of my weekly goals for Thursdays is to do a grammar or vocab tip/focus with a confidence challenge. Ser vs. Estar is an easy place to start and one of the most common concepts of confusion. Here's the way I've been teaching my students lately and I love to see when it finally clicks with them! Ser vs. Estar: My Quick Guide Here's a simple way to remember it! SER for DOCTOR D – Description - Ella es alta. - She is tall - La casa es grande. - The house is big O – Occupation - Soy profesora. - I'm a teacher (notice how "a" ("un/a" in spanish) is unneccessary) - Mi hermano es médico. - My brother is a doctor C – Characteristic - Eres muy amable. - You are kind - Son inteligentes. - They (or y'all) are intelligent. T – Time - Son las ocho. - It is 8 'clock - Hoy es jueves. - Today is Thursday O – Origin - Somos de Nueva York. - We are from New York - ¿De dónde eres? - Where are you from? R – Relationship - Ella es mi amiga. - She is my friend - Él es mi primo - He is my cousin ⭐ ESTAR for PLACE + How you feel and where you are- always use the verb ESTAR! 📍 Where you are - Estoy en casa. - I'm at home - Estamos en el parque. - We are in the park - ¿Dónde estás? - Where are you? 😊 How you feel - Estoy feliz. - I am happy - Estoy cansado/a. - I am tired - Estoy emocionado/a. - I am excited - Estoy nervioso/a. - I am nervous Remember the acronym PLACE P – Position - El libro está sobre la mesa. - The book is on the table L – Location - Estamos en México. - We are in Mexico A – Action (present progressive aka the -ing form) - Estoy estudiando. - I am studying C – Condition - La puerta está abierta. - The door is open. E – Emotion - Estoy contento/a. - I am happy / content. 💬 Confidence Challenge Time! Reply in the comments according to your level of confidence using the language. These are all writing prompts- but feel free to respond in a video in Spanish for even more of a challenge!
