👋 Hola estudiante,

A quick check-in before the week ends.

This week in class, I kept repeating something I want to share with you, too:

Adults CAN learn new languages — and often faster than they think.

Here are a few reminders you shouldn’t forget:

• Adults often learn faster at the beginning because we already know how to learn.

• Regular listening and watching matter more than intensive grammar study.

• Real-life content: Shows, podcasts, music, builds intuition, not just memory.

• And the biggest predictor of progress? Frequency, not talent.

So today, instead of a long lesson, here’s something simple you can do this weekend👇

🎬 Something to Watch in Spanish

Even 10–15 minutes helps. Here are two good options:

1. 📺 Serie on Netflix: Bienvenidos a la Familia

A mother in dire straits rallies her quirky family to con a mobster after her estranged, wealthy father dies and leaves them with a huge debt.

Watch the trailer here:

2. 🎥 Película en Netflix: La Sociedad de la Nieve

An intense and dramatic film, based on real events, with clear dialogue and strong emotional scenes.

📚 Quick lesson: Stop Translating These Literally

Sometimes we say things in Spanish the way we say them in English… and they come out just a little wrong. Especially

when the expression has an indirect object pronoun (me, te, le, nos, les)

Spanish uses pronouns, not “a ti / a él / a ella” in many everyday expressions, and using the literal form instantly sounds wrong.

Gracias 🙌
