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

Congratulations for making it to Day 18. We have done our best to make sure that you don’t hate every day of your training, but we can’t guarantee that you will love every minute of it. Sometimes work isn’t easy and isn’t fun, but we do it because it must be done. There are immediate and long term benefits of learning Spanish. Enjoy the short term benefits (satisfaction, growth) and look forward to the long-term benefits (satisfaction, growth, fluency, relationships). Those are just a few of the benefits.

Today Dave guides you through the rest of Unit 2 of the Survival Expressions section. He also gives you some advice and teaches you how to roll your r’s. This is something that will be easier for some than it will be for others. There are even native Spanish speakers who can’t roll their r’s. Keep practicing and more likely than not you will be able to do it.

I want to help you learn from each other and learn together. With that in mind, I would love to receive feedback about how the lesson went each day from you. If you are interested in providing a few sentences about each day, then email me at jake(at)spanishprograms.com and I’ll give you more information. Please put “Interested in Guest Blogging” in the email subject line. Since there are new people beginning the Learn Spanish Challenge each day, your thoughts and feelings will be helpful to them.

These videos are being posted on the blog under the category “Learn Spanish Challenge”. You can also watch the videos on our YouTube channel, and I post them daily on Facebook and Twitter as well.

Don’t quit. Give yourself the satisfaction of knowing you didn’t give up.
