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

Congratulations for making it to Day 73 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! You have come a long way on your journey to learn Spanish, and for that, you should be very proud. Whenever you are working toward a goal, there will be days that are simply better or worse than others. On some days it might seem easy to get frustrated with your progress and feel sorry for yourself. Do your best to avoid those feelings because they simply don’t represent you and your progress.

Today you will begin Unit 2 of the Restaurant section. As Dave explains in the video, you will finish the lessons you were assigned on Day 72. He also encourages you to watch some Spanish TV. If you are unable to find any Spanish channels where you are, then you should be able to find some on the internet. Do your best to understand the gist of what is being said. Use body gestures and facial expressions to help you.

Congratulations for making it to Day 72 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Your dream of learning Spanish is becoming a reality. Other people may have told you that you were wasting your time trying to learn a new language, but you didn’t listen. You have proved that you can do whatever you put your mind to.

Today you will begin Unit 2 of the Restaurant section. As Dave explains in the video, there are plenty of lessons today. You will also be given time tomorrow to work on Unit 2. Dave also encourages you to select the Spanish option when on the phone with an operator. See how much you can understand and let us know how it goes.

Congratulations for making it to Day 71 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Before you began this journey, you may have been afraid to learn Spanish, or perhaps you didn’t believe in yourself and your ability to learn a new language. You should be starting to find and enjoy the treasure you sought inside the language-learning cave.

Today you will continue the Restaurant Section of the Visual Link Spanish Level 1 course in Unit 1. Whatever you couldn’t finish yesterday, do today. If you get done and still have some time available, then review what you have learned. Go back and do some of the lessons again.

Congratulations for making it to Day 70 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! You have come a long way in your Spanish-learning journey. You are getting closer to becoming fluent in basic conversational Spanish. You should be gaining more and more confidence in the Spanish language. Don’t allow yourself to quit after you’ve come this far.

Today you will begin the Restaurant Section of the Visual Link Spanish Level 1 course. You will be working on Unit 1. Dave mentions in the video that there are quite a few lessons today and that you can split them between today and tomorrow. Do what you can and leave the rest for tomorrow. Dave also encourages you to do whatever you can to make a Spanish-speaking friend with whom you can practice.

Congratulations for making it to Day 69 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Today’s quote is applicable to your life because learning Spanish is something that you can control. There are a lot of things that you can’t control and there is no sense in worrying about them. Make time for the things that are most important to you and let the chips fall where they may.

Today you will finish the Additional Practice Unit and thus complete the entire Describing Characteristics Section. There are quite a few lessons today, and you will be allowed some time over the next few days to review and catch up. Dave encourages you in the video, like he has a few times before, to repeat the Spanish aloud. This will help you with pronunciation and flow in general.

Congratulations for making it to Day 68 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! I like today’s quote because we live in a world that changes everyday. There are incredible technological advances every day that make it possible to communicate with people all over in the world. Companies continue to join the world economy. There is a high demand for bilingual individuals, and you are setting yourself apart from others as you continue to learn Spanish.

In today’s video, you will complete the Review/Quiz unit of the Describing Characteristics Section. Dave encourages you to consider purchasing the book 501 Spanish Verbs as a supplement to your learning experience. He used it a lot during his time in foreign countries.

Congratulations for making it to Day 67 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! Learning a new language will open new doors in your life and can present you with entirely new opportunities. You will be able to reach out to more people. Many people have traveled abroad and have done wonderful things. Many have also connected with others over the internet and have become great friends. I like today’s quote and find it very applicable to learning Spanish. When you reach out and communicate with others, you may change their world.

In today’s video, Dave guides you through Unit 8 of the Describing Characteristics Section. Today there are the same amount of lessons as yesterday. Don’t give up. Dave challenges you to speak with someone in Spanish. I highly encourage you to do that, because if you have a personal connection to a certain goal, then you are more likely to accomplish that goal.

In today’s video, Dave guides you through Unit 7 of the Describing Characteristics Section. Today there aren’t as many lessons as there have been the past few days.

I like today’s quote because it’s simply what happens sometimes. So, get that grain of sand out of your shoes and keep trying to reach the top of the mountain.

In today’s video, Dave guides you through Unit 6 of the Describing Characteristics Section. There is a lot to do today so go ahead and get right to it! Dave also encourages you to purchase a Spanish-only dictionary. This is a big step in your progress. This will help you to think more and more only in Spanish. You don’t want to be translating everything in your head from Spanish to English or English to Spanish. That will slow you down.

Congratulations for making it to Day 64 of the Learn Spanish Challenge! I am a believer in positive thinking and how it can improve every aspect of your life; however, I sometimes get caught up in a little too much dreaming and not enough doing. Are you the same way? Dreaming is a good thing because it can help you choose your vision, but doing helps you become who you want to be.

In today’s video, Dave guides you through Unit 5 of the Describing Characteristics Section. Today’s workload is similar to yesterday’s workload in regards to length. Dave also encourages you to keep a Spanish to English dictionary handy. If you have a smartphone, there are several good dictionary apps. There are also a few good pocket manuals. When you are stumped about what someone has said, it is very helpful to quickly look up a specific word or phrase so that you can understand the gist of what was said.
