Plan for the year / 5 minutes of Spanish + Podcast (English version)
Hello, how are you! Good morning, good afternoon or good
evening, depending on where you are or what time you're listening to us.
Welcome to episode 221 of the 5 minutes of Spanish!
We're starting a new
year, so we're very excited.
Do you have your plan for the year?
Well, the move, the new courses...no.
What is planning?
Planning is like making a grocery list, but for your life.
It is designing a plan to achieve a goal. For example, if your goal is to
improve your Spanish, you first need to ask yourself, “Why do I want to do it?”
And why do so many people study Spanish?
Well, there are many reasons: it is the second most used
language on the Internet, and it is spoken by more than 493 million people!
Plus, learning Spanish can open doors to living in Mexico, touring Latin
America as a taco expert, or simply being able to say more than “hola” when
talking to your Latino family.
OK, but how do I achieve my goal?
Easy. First, define your goals. They have to be SMART.
SMART? Doesn't that mean “smart”?
Well, yes... but it's an acronym here:
- Specific
(específicos)
- Measurable
(medibles)
- Achievable
(alcanzables)
- Relevant
(relevantes)
- Timely
(temporales)
For example: in December 2025, I speak Spanish fluently,
read a book by a Latin American author every month and have friends with whom I
practice by Zoom.
In December 2025?
If you create a kind of mental snapshot, you feel a year
from now.
No “I want to get a little bit better.” Be specific!
And how do I make this fun?
With SpanishUp2U. We offer podcasts on travel, culture,
crafts, grammar and much more. Do you like the classes? We have daily Zoom

choose. SpanishUp2U is literally up to you.
