Hola {{first_name | estudiante}},
Here’s your weekly email to help you learn real Spanish with lessons, tips, and stories that make learning part of your life.
This past 7 days, I’ve been running better than ever. My IT band pain is not showing up. Four runs in a row with zero pain!
One of our readers, Tim, gave me a simple but powerful piece of advice:
“Focus on pushing the ground backwards instead of jumping forwards.”
Gracias Tim. That small shift made a huge difference. I didn’t run faster right away, but I started running better.
And you know I’m about to say this: Learning Spanish works the same way.
You don’t always need to study more, sometimes you just need to change how you practice.
Focus on small, consistent actions: speak a little every day, listen to real Spanish, repeat short phrases, and let your confidence grow naturally.
Progress doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from doing things differently.
💬 This Week’s Lesson: 10 Everyday Expressions You Won’t Find in a Textbook
There are some expressions you won’t find in a textbook, but Spanish speakers use them all the time. They make your Spanish sound more natural, more real.
Here are a few examples:
Para toda la vida → “For life / forever”
Ni de broma → “No way”
¡Qué va! → “Of course not!”
Bueno pero ajá → “Anyway, what are you gonna do?…”
Por si acaso → “Just in case”
Each one adds emotion and personality to your Spanish.
You’ll hear them in everyday conversations, and now you can use them too.
Watch the reel where I explain 5 of the most common ones with examples:
🧩 Mini Quiz: How Well Do You Know These Expressions?
💬 How did you do?
✅ 4–5 correct → ¡Excelente! You sound like a local.
👍 2–3 correct → Pretty good — review the guide once more.
💪 0–1 correct → Don’t worry! Repetition and listening will get you there.
I’ll say it again. Learning a language is like training for a marathon. It’s not about speed. It’s about rhythm, recovery, and showing up even when it feels slow.
Keep your pace steady. The results will come.
Gracias
