Hola,
I was wondering, as this lesson specifically deals with esperar in the meaning of "to hope", what happens if I want to use it as "to wait"? Does it also require El Subjuntivo?

Esperar also means to wait
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using esperar que + present subjunctive in Spanish to express hope"

If you are waiting for someone to do something or for something to happen it would also trigger the subjunctive. For example:
I'm waiting for my mum to arrive - Estoy esperando a que llegue mi madre.
We are waiting for the office to open. Vamos a esperar hasta que abra la oficina.
In both examples there is a reference to something that will happen in the future.
