Let’s make plans! 👫

Have you got plans for the weekend? Because this week, I’m covering everything you need to make plans in Spanish. Start with a super useful mini-podcast 🎧 where Silvia and I plan a day out in the mountains, and keep listening for a detailed explanation of some of the grammar involved.

Then, check out our vocabulary section, packed with phrases to help you talk about arranging to meet someone. Finally, read and listen to our friend Celeste, who’s planning a nice Saturday with her friend Edu, a great opportunity to review both the near future and the preterite tense in Spanish.

¡Vamos a por ello!
