Join us on a rigorous step-by-step journey to fluency.

I'm Timothy, and this is LearnCraft Spanish.

This week, we're wrapping up our journey to essential fluency.

We'll learn our last seven verbs and our final adjectives and nouns that you need to communicate on practically any topic in Spanish with practically infinite variety, as long as you combine what you're learning here with some good productive practice.

Let's kick off the week by learning the verbs for read, write, and learn.

The Spanish verb for read is leer, spelled L-E-E-R, lear. So, for example, I want to read that.

This verb is conjugated like Debert, but it's a little bit tricky because of the two E's.

Basically, the stem of this verb is the L-E at the beginning, and then to conjugate it, you change the other two letters at the end. So I read is leo, and he or she reads is le, which simply sounds like le, but is spelled with two E's.

And then the rest of the present tense forms have two E's as well.

Les, leen, and leemos.

Incidentally, this is exactly what happened with the verb,

CREER, our other verb with two E's.

Let's practice the present tense forms of Lear.

We don't read at night.

No lear. Do you read for the night? Do you read that kind of books?
