Family Time! 

This week’s Spanish learning spotlight is on something close to home: la familia 💗 Let’s spend the week brushing up on family vocabulary, and while we’re at it, we’ll explore gustar and encantar in the present tense and how maternity and paternity leave works in Spain.

Ready to bring your Spanish closer to home? ¡Vamos a por ello! 🚀

Hogar, dulce hogar…
