Spanish - Español en Enero
Jan 08, 2026 5:07 pm
¡Hola, !
After a peaceful Christmas, a fun New Year's Eve party, and celebrating the Reyes Magos day with my family, I'm back into the swing of things and looking forward to seeing all my wonderful students.
New Year resolutions might feel stressful, so I have a top tip for you to improve your Spanish without feeling overwhelmed:
Start with just 5 minutes a day: listen to a podcast or a song in Spanish, read a headline, or practice greetings.
👉 Remember: consistency beats intensity. Daily drops fill the bucket!
⏱️ 5 minutes a day = progress
What’s ONE thing you could do in Spanish today?
¡Feliz Año 2026!
