Spanish for Beginners

Linguistica 360www.newsinslowspanish.com
Our Get Up To Speed (G.U.T.S.) course is a fun and innovative course designed to help you solidify the basics, with dialogues, stories, lessons, and quizzes. Our goal here is to start at zero Spanish and then end with the ability to continue as a regular listener of "News in Slow Spanish" (www.NewsInSlowSpanish.com). We'll start slow and will gradually pick up the pace as we go. In fact, in the first lesson, we promise you… yes, PROMISE you that you will be able to understand an entire paragraph in Spanish through the magic of cognates and learning just two simple verbs. Sounds impossible? See for yourself: https://www.newsinslowspanish.com/latino/series/guts/0/wow/1

Spanish for Beginners: Lesson 12 – Imperfect vs. Preterite

Delve into Spanish past tenses, the preterite and imperfect, using literary examples from Gabriel García Márquez's "Cien Años de Soledad". Learn how the preterite describes definite, completed actions, while the imperfect conveys ongoing, habitual, or descriptive past events. The episode also highlights Latin American authors and common expressions that trigger each tense, providing clear distinctions for proper usage.
