| 0:05.0 | Join us on a rigorous step-by-step journey to fluency. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm Timothy, and this is Learncraft Spanish. |
| 0:15.0 | Today we're going to learn a few new adjectives |
| 0:17.0 | and continue practicing the verbs creer and p pensar. Most of the words that we |
| 0:23.6 | learn today will actually be words that are very similar to words you already know. Let's start |
| 0:29.2 | with the word rapido, which we learned as an adverb to mean fast or quickly describing how |
