Day 94 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Watch the video!

“The only person I have to be better than is the person I was yesterday.” -Unknown

Learn Spanish Challenge, Day 94
Review: Section 2 and Section 3

Are you new to the Learn Spanish Challenge? Begin at Day 1.

Congratulations for making it to Day 94 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Today’s quote reminds you that in learning Spanish, you need to be a little better than you were yesterday. If you are learning in a group, let yourself be motivated by the group; however, avoid comparing yourself to others to the point that it makes you feel bad if you don’t sound quite as good as someone else. Just be better than you were yesterday.

Today in the Spanish lessons, you are going to review the Greetings and Survival Expressions Sections because they compliment the Travel Section. Dave also congratulates you for making it this far and encourages you to reward yourself. Give yourself a pat on the back. It’s okay and good to celebrate your successes. If you have worked in a group, celebrate together.

Congratulations for making it to Day 93 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Did you read today’s quote? Everybody is given the same amount of hours each day. You control what you do with those hours, minutes and seconds. You have spent hours learning Spanish, and you should feel good about that.

You only have 1 more section, the Bonus Section. Dave also encourages you to take a short trip or a cruise to a Spanish-speaking country. If you plan ahead, you can save a lot of money. Best of luck to you!

Congratulations for making it to Day 92 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Did you read today’s quote? Everybody is given the same amount of hours each day. You control what you do with those hours, minutes and seconds. You have spent hours learning Spanish, and you should feel good about that.

Today in the Spanish lessons, you are going to begin Unit 5 of the Travel section. This will give you ‘Additional Practice’ for what you have learned in the Travel Section. Dave also encourages you to take advantage of any opportunity to study abroad. It doesn’t matter if it’s for 1 week, 1 month or 1 year. The Visual Link Spanish Level 1 course has given you a great base and has helped you become fluent in basic conversational Spanish. If you can, save up some money and do some traveling to a Spanish-speaking country.

Are you new to the Learn Spanish Challenge? Begin at Day 1.

Congratulations for making it to Day 91 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Did you read today’s quote? It is very true with regard to learning Spanish. When you put yourself out there and speak Spanish with a native speaker or do something you’re afraid to do, that’s when you will have awesome moments.

Today in the Spanish lessons, you are going to review Unit 4 of the Travel section. Today’s lessons are the same as yesterday, but who can’t use some extra practice? This week there is lots of review, and next week we will be finishing up the course. Dave also encourages you to take advantage of any opportunity you can to speak Spanish with someone. It is important that you give yourself opportunities to build confidence.

Are you new to the Learn Spanish Challenge? Begin at Day 1.

Congratulations for making it to Day 90 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Are you enjoying this adventure? With hard work and progress comes a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment.

Today in the Spanish lessons, you are going to move on to Unit 4 of the Travel section. Dave also encourages you to listen to some Spanish music. Dave speaks only in Spanish for most of today’s video. Did you understand him? Did you need to listen to it more than once to understand him? You should be becoming more and more comfortable with the Spanish language everyday. If you didn’t quite feel comfortable, listen to it a few more times. Your brain will begin to adjust to the Spanish language.

“Give yourself an even greater challenge than the one you are trying to master, and you will develop the powers necessary to overcome the original difficulty.” -William J. Bennett

Learn Spanish Challenge, Day 89
Review Day, Sections 1-12

Are you new to the Learn Spanish Challenge? Begin at Day 1.

Congratulations for making it to Day 89 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Today’s quote is simply another way of saying that if you shoot for the stars, you’ll land on the moon; at least that’s how I interpret it.

Today in the Spanish lessons, you will get the ‘opportunity’ to review any of the lessons from any of the sections of the Visual Link Spanish Level 1 course. Dave encourages you to focus on any ‘Tune Your Ear’ lessons if you are having difficulties understanding native speakers. These lessons will help you to ‘tune your ear’ to the Spanish language and help your brain to relax and absorb what you are hearing.

“The tragedy in life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.” -Benjamin Mays

Learn Spanish Challenge, Day 88
Travel Section 12, Review Units 1-3

Are you new to the Learn Spanish Challenge? Begin at Day 1.

Congratulations for making it to Day 88 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Today’s quote applies to you because you can be happy that your life is not a tragedy. You are reaching the goals you are setting and you should pat yourself on the back every once in a great while. You have made your life more interesting by working to achieve your goals.

Today in the Spanish lessons, you will be reviewing the Travel Section, Units 1-3. This will give you an opportunity to go back and review anything from those sections that could use a little more practice before you feel comfortable. When you are traveling, you will rely on what you are learning right now, so do your best.

Are you new to the Learn Spanish Challenge? Begin at Day 1.

Congratulations for making it to Day 87 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! At this point of your learning journey, you should have learned that the only person who can stop you is you. So keep being you and do the things that you do.

Today in the Spanish lessons, you are going to move on to Unit 3 of the Travel section and learn the Spanish vocabulary you will need for shopping and medical terms. Dave also encourages you to utilize flash cards, whether it be the Visual Link Spanish flash cards within the course or your own handwritten flash cards in calligraphy.

Are you new to the Learn Spanish Challenge? Begin at Day 1.

Congratulations for making it to Day 86 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! If you are complaining about not having anyone with whom you can practice, remember that you need to go out and find new friends. This might be in your neighborhood or on the internet. Opportunities don’t always come to you, sometimes you need to present yourself to the opportunities.

Today in the lessons, you are going to move on to Unit 2 of the Travel section and learn the Spanish vocabulary you will need for hotels. Finding a place to stay is often the 2nd biggest worry in traveling, next to transportation. Dave challenges you to reserve a hotel in Spanish and see how it goes. If you feel like you made some mistakes, it may be wise to review your reservation in English afterward.

If you think about it, you usually make time for the things you really want to do.
