Day 10: When to Use ESTAR in Spanish

One of the most important verbs in Spanish is ESTAR.

We use it to talk about:

• how we feel
• where we are
• temporary situations

But instead of memorising rules, it’s much easier to understand ESTAR through real-life examples.

In Day 10 of the 90 Days of Spanish series, we look at how this verb works in everyday conversation.

Try this:

Write one sentence using ESTAR to describe how you feel right now or where you are.

I’ll read the comments and help refine them.

Day 9: Stop Confusing SER and ESTAR

One of the most common beginner mistakes in Spanish is confusing SER and ESTAR.

Many people memorise rules but still hesitate when speaking.

In Day 9 of the 90 Days of Spanish series, we break it down in a much simpler way:

Not permanent vs temporary.

But identity vs state.

Once you understand that difference, things become much clearer.

Try this exercise:

Write one sentence about yourself using SER and explain why it makes sense.

I’ll read the comments and help refine them.

If your Spanish sounds like this:

“I work. I study. I’m tired.”

You’re not alone.

Most beginners speak in short, disconnected sentences — not because they lack vocabulary, but because they don’t know how to connect ideas.

In Day 8 of the 90 Days of Spanish series, I show you how to:

• Use simple connectors (y, pero, porque, entonces)
• Speak in full sentences
• Think in “chunks” instead of word by word
• Sound more natural immediately

You don’t need more words.
You need structure.

Try this: write two simple sentences about your life and connect them in Spanish. I’ll help you refine them 👇

If you keep forgetting Spanish verbs, it’s not because you’re bad at languages.

It’s usually because you’re studying them the wrong way.

In today’s lesson (Day 7 of the 90 Days of Spanish series), I explain why re-reading notes doesn’t work — and what actually helps verbs stick in your memory long-term.

This is where we start learning how to learn, not just what to memorise.

If you're following the series, keep going.
If you're new, start from Day 1 and build step by step.

Consistency beats intensity every time.

Nos vemos en el Día 8 👋

Most people struggle with Spanish verbs because they try to memorise everything.

But Spanish verbs follow patterns.

Day 6 of my 90 Days of Spanish series is live — and today we break down how regular -AR verbs actually work.

Once you understand the pattern, you unlock dozens of verbs instantly.

No overwhelm.
No complicated grammar.
Just structure.

👇 Try this:
Write one sentence using a verb like hablar, trabajar, estudiar, or mirar — and I’ll help you improve it.

Small steps. Clear progress.

If you’ve been learning Spanish but still freeze in conversations… it’s often because you can’t ask questions yet.

Day 5 of my 90 Days of Spanish series is live — and today we’re learning how to ask simple questions in Spanish (the kind you’ll actually use in real life).

No overwhelm. No grammar overload. Just usable Spanish.

👇 Try this:
Ask me ONE question in Spanish in the comments (even a simple one) and I’ll help you improve it.

If you’ve been learning Spanish but still struggle to actually speak… this is for you.

Day 4 of my 90 Days of Spanish series is live. Today we’re focusing on something simple but powerful: how to talk about your day in Spanish using short, natural sentences.

No overwhelm. No grammar overload. Just usable Spanish.

Small steps done consistently make a huge difference.
