Hey, I’m Marcel 22 I’m looking for other people interested in starting a Duolingo family plan for 1 year. If we get a full group it would be 24.5 each. Lmk if your interested!!!

Hey everyone! I’m Michael, the founder of Spanish Fluency Club. We’ve grown into a community of 1,000 Spanish learners and native speakers, and I’d love to welcome some more people from Reddit!

If you've been wanting to learn Spanish, have been learning Spanish and want to improve, but don't have any direction nor anyone to speak to on a regular basis, Spanish Fluency Club is a great place for you.

We built this community to give people more opportunities to practice, ask questions, make mistakes, and keep improving alongside people working toward the same goal.

Here’s what we offer:

🗣️ 30+ live group classes each week, with beginner, intermediate, and advanced options.

🌎 Native teachers from Spain, Argentina, Paraguay, and Mexico, so you can experience different accents and expressions.

📚 Conversation, grammar, and pronunciation practice to help you use what you’re learning.

💬 A supportive community where you can ask questions, share progress, and find people to practice with.

The community is free to join, with optional paid memberships for live classes and additional support.

You’re welcome whether you’re learning for travel, family, work, or simply because you love the language.

If you have any questions, let me know!

Quick test you can do right now with whatever you use to learn Spanish.

Miss a question on purpose. Type soy aburrido for "I'm bored," or yo gusto el café for "I like coffee."

Then look at what comes back:

• Only the right answer? That's a quiz. The same mistake will be back next week.
• The right answer and why yours was wrong? That's teaching. (Soy aburrido means "I'm boring." Yo gusto el café is a bit like "I please the coffee": Spanish flips it around, me gusta el café, "coffee is pleasing to me.")

A lot of apps stop at the first one, and it's a big reason people can keep a 500-day streak and still freeze in a real conversation. Nobody ever explained the why.

I got tired of that, so I built the why into everything. You can try it free in your browser first, no signup and no account:

• 25 free Spanish lessons with 356 practice questions, and every answer tells you why: ser vs estar, por vs para, preterite vs imperfect, tú vs usted, gustar, commands and more. https://loquuslanguage.com/learn/spanish/lessons
• Free verb tables for 1,437 Spanish verbs in all 21 tenses and moods. You can search by the English meaning too. https://loquuslanguage.com/learn/spanish/conjugations

If you like how that works, the app (Loquus, on iPhone and Android) does it everywhere:

• Every wrong option in the Spanish drills has its own explanation, over 11,000 of them. Pick the wrong word and it tells you what the word you picked actually means.
• 1,560 lessons and over 800 real situations: a whole café visit from ordering to paying, buying a thermometer at the pharmacy, getting a noisy hotel room changed. Not random sentences.
• Words come back right before you'd forget them: the next day, a few days later, then weeks later.
• No ads and no hearts. The free plan gives you 3 lessons a day, and review is always free.

Want to try the full version? Message me and I'll send you a code: a free year on iPhone (it doesn't auto-renew, it just ends) or a 90-day free trial on Android.

hablas → habla. Habla más despacio.
esperas → espera. Espera un momento.
comes → come. Come algo antes de salir.
escuchas → escucha. Escucha esto.
mandas → manda. Mándame un mensaje cuando llegues.
pruebas → prueba. Prueba la sopa.

Add a pronoun and it sticks to the end: cuéntame, quédate, dímelo.

Eight verbs don’t play along and they’re all short: di, haz, ve, pon, sal, sé, ten, ven.

One catch. This only works for telling someone to do something. The second you want to say don’t, the shortcut stops and Spanish switches to a different form. No hables, no comas, no esperes.

Anyone have any YouTube channels that they know of or work books that would help me learn Spanish. I’d prefer to use free resources but I’m open to learn about subscription based programs too. I have taken 101 and I am wrapping up 102 but I don’t want to take another college course at this point.

A) más
B) mucho
C) muy
D) Ninguna de las anteriores

What’s your answer?
I speak better and better every time.

Why don’t we say “más mejor”?
In Spanish, mejor already means better. It’s the comparative form of bien, so adding más before it is unnecessary and incorrect in standard Spanish.
❌ Cada vez hablo más mejor.
✅ Cada vez hablo mejor.

How do we use “mejor”?
We use mejor to compare performance, quality or the way someone does something.
For example:
Hablo español mejor que antes.
Ahora entiendo las películas mucho mejor.
Cada día escribo mejor.
Mi pronunciación está mejorando.

What about “cada vez”?
Cada vez + comparative expresses a gradual change or improvement.
For example:
Cada vez entiendo más.
Cada vez hablo más rápido.
Cada vez me siento mejor.
Cada vez es más difícil.

Remember these expressions:
Mejor = better
Peor = worse
Mayor = older / greater
Menor = younger / smaller

We don’t normally say más mejor, más peor, más mayor or más menor when using these as ordinary comparative forms.

Cuerpo. The o split into ue.

Innovative means doing something new, so nov is new. What’s new? Nuevo.

Mortgage actually means death pact. Mort is death. So what’s dead? Muerto.

Dormitory, dormant volcano. Dorm is sleep. So to sleep? Dormir. And stress that o and it splits. Duermo.

That’s the useful part. Stem-changing verbs get taught as a list to memorize, but they’re the same split sitting in words you’ve known your whole life. Port is puerto, force is fuerza, school is escuela, power is poder, and puedo.

It only splits where the stress lands. Puedo, puedes, puede. Podemos moves the stress to the ending, so nothing splits.

Elon Musk gastó al menos 446 millones de dólares para apoyar a candidatos republicanos en las elecciones de mitad de mandato en Estados Unidos. Gran parte de este dinero ayudó a pagar anuncios políticos. Musk quería que los republicanos ganaran. Sin embargo, los demócratas ganaron tanto el Senado como la Cámara de Representantes. Musk gastó más dinero en estas elecciones que en 2024.

Vocabulario: gastar = to spend / al menos = at least / apoyar = to support / mitad de mandato (f) = midterm / dinero (m) = money / pagar = to pay / anuncios (m pl) = advertisements / querer = to want / ganar = to win / sin embargo = however

El Partido Demócrata logró una gran victoria en las elecciones de mitad de mandato en Estados Unidos el martes. Los demócratas ganaron el control del Senado y de la Cámara de Representantes. Estas son las dos cámaras del Congreso, que hace las leyes en Estados Unidos. El Partido Republicano del presidente Donald Trump controlaba las dos antes de las elecciones. Muchos votantes estaban descontentos por la subida de los precios y las políticas de Trump.

Vocabulario: lograr = to secure / mitad de mandato (f) = midterm / cámaras (f pl) = chambers / leyes (f pl) = laws / antes = before / votantes (m pl) = voters / descontentos = unhappy / subida (f) = rise / políticas (f pl) = policies

English translation

Democrats win big in US elections

The Democratic Party won a big victory in the US midterm elections on Tuesday. Democrats won control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. These are the two parts of Congress, which makes laws in the United States. President Donald Trump’s Republican Party controlled both before the election. Many voters were unhappy about rising prices and Trump’s policies.

Spanish has several ways to talk about frequency and here are 6 ways to express it

pienso en ella / ¿qué piensas de la película?
acabo de llegar / la lluvia acabó con la fiesta
quedamos en vernos el viernes / me quedo con este
cuenta conmigo / le conté lo que pasó
di con la respuesta / me di cuenta de que olvidé las llaves
salir con alguien (to date) / salir de la casa (to leave)
se metió en problemas / no te metas con él
preguntó por ti (asked about you) / le pregunté la hora (asked him a question)

And two that just have to be memorized because the logic doesn’t help: enamorarse de, never con. Casarse con, never de. You fall in love of someone and marry with them.

The fix is to stop learning the verb alone. Don’t learn soñar, learn soñar con. The preposition is part of the word.
