Listen until the end, because this vocabulary is worth it.

Join us on a rigorous step-by-step journey to fluency. I'm Timothy, and this is LearnCraft Spanish.

Today we're going to learn six new words, all of which are pretty easy to use.

Let's start with two new conjunctions.

But to begin with, let's revisit the preposition,

I'm here because of food could be replaced with, I'm here because of

he is here. Here's what we get. I'm here to take. So let's take a second to break this down a little bit. The word
