¿Conoces esta expresión?

¡Brindemos! 🥂

making a toast

Do you want to make a toast in Spanish during Christmas? Well, this is when our expression this week comes very handy!

This is what we say in Spain and Latin America if we want to make a toast:

¡Brindemos!
Let’s make a toast!

Did you notice the imperative/present subunctive here? Get a bit further… see how we use this form, which is what you need for an affirmative imperative as in “Let’s…(do something)”.

To help you get into this very useful grammar, here’s a shared notebook with all the important lessons to master this.
