Some Spanish structures are almost impossible to use when you are starting out.
They are too unnatural to speak with any freedom when you are in the early days of learning.
Traditional methods often start with those most difficult structures.
That’s a problem because you feel lost and overwhelmed. They suck all the joy out of becoming a Spanish speaker.
En cambio (on the other hand) there are patterns in Spanish that are so natural you can use them right away.
Here is an example:
In Spanish, to say you just did something, you say “acabo de” plus a verb. For example:
Acabo de comer.
I just ate.
Acabo de hablar con mi amiga María.
I just spoke with my friend Maria.
Acabo de visitar Madrid en mayo.
I just visited Madrid in May.
Once you know the pattern, you can use it with any verb you know. See if you can work these out.
1) Acabo de visitar España.
2) Acabo de preparar un café.
3) Acabo de celebrar el día de la independencia.
