Welcome to 2026! In this episode, Will and Profesora Daniela break down three different ways to talk about the future in Spanish — and when to use each one.

Whether you're making New Year's resolutions, planning a trip, or just dreaming about what's next, you'll learn:

• Voy a + infinitive — The everyday, conversational way to say "I'm going to..."
• El futuro tense — The more formal "I will..." construction
• Me gustaría — For expressing desires and hopes (the "honest" option, as Daniela calls it)

We also share vocabulary around routines, consistency, and healthy habits — plus our own goals for the year ahead.

Are family traditions disappearing—or just evolving? In this episode, we talk about the passionate generational debate happening at millions of family tables across the Spanish-speaking world.

From Argentina's asado as a social institution to Mexico's syncretic pozole, we explore how food tells stories of migration, resilience, and identity. And amid all the change, one ritual remains untouchable: el brindis (the toast).

🍷 What we explore:

• The "culinary truce" between tradition and modernity
• Why the abuela is a living archive of culture
• The toast as a universal language of connection
• How to preserve traditions without making them feel like obligations

Final reflection: If you had to design a menu that represents who you are and where you come from... what story would your table tell?
