This module focuses on the theme of free time and pastimes: sports, games, and hobbies. We will also discover a new use of the verb estar: talking about emotions, states, and conditions. Whether that makes you happy or anxious, at least you’ll be able to express these feelings. Meanwhile, we’ll be learning the present progressive tense— the verb tense for ongoing actions: “I am walking,” “I am dancing,” or “I am learning.”

The playlist for this module is challenging you to think about ongoing actions— and offering hints about how the present progressive tense is formed in Spanish.
