Lesson 2: Making Appointments and Planning Your Free Time
Learn how to suggest, arrange, and adjust plans in Spanish using polite forms and the right tenses.
About this lesson
This lesson builds your ability to make and negotiate plans with friends or colleagues — proposing a time and place, confirming or postponing, and handling last-minute changes. You'll practise expressions for preferences and convenience, the near-future construction (ir a + infinitive), the conditional for polite suggestions, and the subjunctive after time conjunctions such as cuando in future contexts.
