Mastering Past Verbs: Pretérito vs. Impe...

Levi Flint
About this episode

Welcome to Spanish with Levi! Yes, it’s still me, Levi from Mexican Fluency, just with a fresh new name.


Today’s episode is part of our Monday series—where we dive into Spanish learning hacks, tips, and grammar strategies for intermediate to advanced learners. In this one, we’re breaking down a common challenge: when to use preterite vs. imperfect in Spanish. I’ll give you clear explanations, useful examples, and tips to avoid the most common mistakes.


Don’t forget—Thursdays are for full Spanish immersion! We’ll analyze scenes from Mexican telenovelas and chat with both AI and real native speakers to help you level up your listening and speaking skills.
