Day One Spanish, episode eleven of twenty — week three begins, where the news starts talking. Today: decir, the verb to say, and its workhorse form dice — the single most journalistic word in Spanish. You learn the colon trick that lets reporters quote anyone, the food basics (el pan, la leche, el café), comparatives with más caro, and the famous oddball el agua — a feminine noun that borrows a masculine article. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: El ministro dice: el pan y la leche son más caros este año.

Day One Spanish, episode twelve of twenty. People in the news are always on the move, so today you learn the motion verbs: venir (to come — vienen, they come) and the most gloriously irregular verb in the language, ir (to go — voy, va, van, with not a single letter of 'ir' surviving). You also learn how Spanish names the map — a España, no 'the' needed for most countries — and the nationality words español, española, mexicano, argentina. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: Miles de personas vienen a España para el festival.

Day One Spanish, episode thirteen of twenty. News is a diary, so today you learn to read it: the seven days of the week (all defiantly lowercase — lunes, martes, miércoles...), the verbs empezar (to begin — another middle-stretcher: empieza) and terminar (to end), and the time anchors ayer, hoy, mañana, la próxima semana. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: La cumbre empieza el lunes y termina el viernes.

Day One Spanish, episode fourteen of twenty. Today, the art of saying no — and Spanish has made it almost insultingly easy: one word, no, placed before the verb, for everything. No negation tables, no choosing between two negatives like German, and — delightfully — the double negative is not just allowed but required. You also learn la luz (the light, which is how Spanish says electricity) and the emergency kit: el fuego, la ayuda, el peligro. By the end you'll understand and say a real Spanish news sentence: En el norte no hay luz y las escuelas no están abiertas.

Day One Spanish, episode fifteen of twenty — the week three finale. Journalism is professional question-asking, so today you get the full kit: quién, qué, dónde, cuándo, por qué, cómo — who, what, where, when, why, how — each wearing its little accent like a press badge. You'll learn why Spanish opens questions with an upside-down question mark (and why it's genuinely brilliant), meet the verb querer (to want — quiere, another middle-stretcher), and discover that in spoken Spanish, any sentence becomes a question by tone alone. Today's sentence: ¿Quién es la nueva ministra y qué quiere?

Day One Spanish, episode sixteen of twenty — the final week begins, and it has one job: time travel. Today, the past arrives via the perfect tense: a little helper verb (he, ha, han — from haber) plus a participle ending in -ado or -ido. Hablar becomes ha hablado; comer becomes ha comido. You'll meet the rebel participle dicho (said), learn why this is the tense Spain's news uses for anything that happened today, and pick up la guerra and la paz — war and peace. Today's sentence: El presidente ha dicho hoy: la guerra ha terminado.

Day One Spanish, episode seventeen of twenty. Breaking news is where your new past tense earns its keep. Today: two real disaster-story sentences - Un terremoto ha sacudido la región esta noche. Muchas personas han perdido sus casas. You learn han plus the participle (the plural past), the indefinite articles un and una (a, an - finally made official), the possessive sus: one word doing the work of his, her AND their, and the sober vocabulary of disaster coverage.

Day One Spanish, episode eighteen of twenty. Today you get the future tense - and it costs you nothing, because you already own all the parts. Spanish builds its everyday future with ir (to go) plus a plus any infinitive: va a construir, it's going to build. The same going-to future English uses, powered by Tuesday's voy-va-van. You also learn the good-news economy kit: la empresa, la fábrica, los empleos, and how news verbs come pre-packaged as infinitives, ready to snap onto va a. Today's sentence: La empresa va a construir una nueva fábrica y va a crear tres mil empleos.

Day One Spanish, episode nineteen of twenty - the penultimate episode. You can handle full sentences now; but open a news app and the first Spanish you see isn't full sentences, it's headlines. Today you learn their compressed grammar: verbs vanish, a comma does their work, and three words carry a whole story. La presidenta, en Washington. You also learn the diplomacy kit: la visita, la reunión, el viaje, so tomorrow you can graduate.
