Novice HighEl vlog de mi prima.
A 60-second TikTok-style morning vlog from your fictional cousin Sofía in Mexico City. She narrates what everyone in the house is doing right now: who is cooking, who is sleeping, who is reading the paper. Every verb of action is estar plus gerundio.
Intermediate LowEl eclipse en Marte.
A real NASA en Español clip shows the Perseverance rover filming a moon-eclipse on Mars. You interpret what is happening on screen, notice the present progressive that Spanish science narrators use to describe ongoing action, and write a 60-word reaction that gets three layers of feedback without any AI in the loop.
Intermediate MidLa cita del médico.
Your fictional cousin Yesenia has the flu. You text the bilingual clinic on her behalf. The receptionist replies in Spanish. The whole exchange turns on whether each symptom is a temporary state (estar) or a defining trait (ser), and you decide which forms to send back.
