If you want to express frequency in Spanish then you should get to know at least one of the phrases in today’s podcast.

We are going to look at 15 different ways to express frequency starting from the least, “never ever”, to the most, “every day”.

To start with, if you want to ask someone ‘how often’ you could use:

¿Cada cuánto…?

or

¿Cada cuánto tiempo … ? or

For example:

How often do you practice your Spanish – ¿cada cuanto prácticas tu español?

In the episode I will walk through each one of these phrases and provide an example for each.
