📖 Study Tips for Spanish
1
Use spaced repetition flashcards (like Anki) to build vocabulary — review new words at increasing intervals to retain them long-term.
2
Learn verb conjugations in groups: present indicative, preterite, and imperfect cover the vast majority of everyday speech.
3
Practice the ser vs. estar distinction daily — ser for permanent traits, estar for states and conditions — it's one of the most common error points.
4
Listen to Spanish podcasts or music for 15 minutes a day; passive immersion dramatically improves pronunciation and comprehension speed.

Preterite (pretérito indefinido) describes completed actions at a specific moment in the past. Imperfect (pretérito imperfecto) describes ongoing or habitual past actions, background states, or interrupted actions.
