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.
