Instruction Language vs. Spanish: Useful Phrases and Differences
Because the instruction language is English and the learning language is Spanish, this lesson focuses on Spanish verb tenses and expressions with translations or explanations provided in English. For example, the Spanish future tense often translates to "will" or "shall" in English, but Spanish uses specific endings (-é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án) added directly to the infinitive, making conjugations more predictable.
Useful phrases you can use include:
- ¿Cómo puedo comprar entradas? – How can I buy tickets?
- Mañana compraré las entradas. – Tomorrow I will buy the tickets.
- Tocaré la guitarra en el próximo concierto. – I will play the guitar at the next concert.
This structured and vocabulary-rich lesson guides you through both grammar and cultural content, helping you confidently discuss future plans related to music and concerts in Spanish.
