Told Faster: Hasta luego

SMALL TOWN SPANISH TEACHER
About this episode

The end of the school year sparks excitement for summer break, but it can also cause some sadness and students and teachers say goodbye - some for the summer, some for longer. Imani walks through the halls chanting “hasta luego” (see you later) to those she passes, until she realizes that she might not actually “see” some of them in the future. Will she have to say goodbye? 


This story is told in the third person using the present tense. Important vocabulary in the story includes: “compañeros” (classmates), “maestro” (teacher), “termina” (ends), and “hasta luego” (see you later).

No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. You can find a transcript of the story and read along at: https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/2025/05/19/simple-stories-in-spanish-told-faster-hasta-luego/
