1.14: Visualization Practice

Author: Live Lingua April 27, 2024 Duration: 1:26
One of the best ways to learn anything is to visualize it. This is why you see boxers doing a visualization of their practice and shadowboxing.

We're going to try the equivalent in language learning. We're going to give you three scenarios. Close your eyes (as long as you're not driving, of course) and imagine you're in the scenarios.

You'll say something in Spanish based on what we've learned in this unit. Try to imagine the conversation in your head — either be the person who is asking the questions or answering them.

Let's see if you can do it!
