Spanish Video Lesson – How to Talk About What You Want to Learn in Spanish.
With School Back in Session, as an Adult, What Do You Want to Learn?
With September here, fall weather in the air and school back in session a few weeks ago, many adults start having the itch to learn again. When we were in school, we couldn’t wait to get out because we felt like our brains were so full they would explode. But now, when we see kids going back to school, there is a part of many of us that misses learning. As proof of this, I just looked at our website traffic and it’s up 30% in September. People are conditioned to “end their summer vacations” and start learning again.
There is a satisfaction, and in some cases, a real thrill that comes from learning. Well, this week on our Facebook page, we want to know what you want to learn. Come let us know on “Facebook Fiesta Friday” as you practice using your Spanish. If you want to learn more words that aren’t in the video lesson, or list below, check out our Spanish words page on learnalanguage.com.
Here is the vocabulary from the video:
| I want to learn… | Quiero aprender… |
| …how to paint (don’t have to put “how to” after “aprender”, but you do need an “a” in another verb is after) |

Come to Facebook on Friday and let us know what you want to learn. I will also be sharing what I like to learn. As a brief preview, I love learning from audio books on audible.com. (I didn’t get paid to mention that site, I just simply love it!! I’ve listened to over 100 books from Audible in the past 5 years or so.) Come on to Facebook on Friday and I’ll share my favorite topics…and, most importantly, I’d love to hear what YOU want to learn.
¡Hasta luego Amigos!
