12 steps to confident Spanish (here's the 7 verbs from step 2)


​

Hey Reader πŸ‘‹πŸΎ

As of this week, we are officially into our step-by-step launch of the NEW 12-Logro Method in the BTG Spanish Community. In case you've missed it, the 12-Logro Method is our signature framework for helping you speak Spanish confidently over the course of 12 milestones (aka logros) πŸŽ‰

Each logro is built with 4 major pieces:

  • Tasks: what you should be able to perform in Spanish. For example, one of the tasks in Logro 3 is being able to introduce yourself and your family.
  • Habits: specific ways that you've incorporated Spanish into your daily life. For example, one of the habits in Logro 6 is establishing a relationship with a Spanish-speaker whom you practice with outside of class.
  • Vocabulary: for the first time ever, we are giving you the words that you should be learning every step of the way in your Spanish journey.
  • Grammar: we are currently rebuilding our grammar structure to focus on the practicality of grammar in real-life conversations rather than learning the rules outside of real-life application.

Over the next couple of weeks, your conversation teachers will be evaluating you to determine exactly where you are within the 12-Logro method, giving you a clear path to completing all 12 Logros.

We hope you are just as excited about this as we are!! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Just reply directly to this email.


Last week, I introduced you to the 12-Logro Method and gave you a peek at Logro 1 β€” where you learn to introduce yourself in Spanish.

This week, we're moving forward to Logro 2 β€” and this one is a game-changer.

So, here's the thing...you don't need thousands of words to start having real conversations. You need the right ones. And when it comes to verbs, there are 7 that do more heavy lifting than all the others combined.

We call them the Super 7.

I recorded a preview of Logro 2, Lesson 3 β€” where I quickly walk through the Super 7 verbs to help you see exactly why these are the verbs to learn first. Please note: in the real lesson, we will be sure to spend more time on each verb, but for the preview, it's going to feel like a flyover to help you see all the information that we will be packing in!

These 7 verbs show up in almost every sentence you'll ever hear or speak in Spanish. Master them, and conversations will start clicking. Skip them, and everything else will feel harder than it needs to be.

Remember how I said that a key piece to the 12-Logro Method is that it focues on grammar that actually is relevant to the conversations you should be having at every stage? Well, this is exactly why we are introducing the Super 7 as a cornerstone of Logro 2.

Here's what Logro 2 builds:

By the end of this Logro, you're moving beyond introducing yourself and into actually doing things with the language β€” talking about what you have, where you're going, what you want, and what you're able to do. The Super 7 verbs are what unlock all of it.

This intentionally helps shift your Spanish from "words you know" to "things you can actually say."

I'd love to hear from you!

Did you know all 7 of these verbs? How confident do you feel using them in actual conversation? Your reply will help us know if we are on the right track!

Next week, we'll keep climbing through the Logros so you can see how each one builds on the last β€” taking you closer and closer to confident, real-world Spanish.

Β‘Hasta pronto!
