Finally getting around to indexing my Korean journ Finally getting around to indexing my Korean journal! πŸ’œ 

This is my official journal where I have been taking notes for about 3 months. I know it seems so short for 3 months, but I don’t have much time to study and any notes I take about textbooks I use are kept in my textbooks and not here. So this is really just TTMIK and very occasionally Memrise or Busuu 😁

I’m excited to see it filled!! Hopefully I can manage that this year 😍

All I know is that level 2 was very easy and simple and I wouldn’t call it mid beginner, as they do…)

(I occasionally use Busuu and Duolingo on my laptop, but I tend to use them more via their apps, so I didnt include them in this list πŸ˜™)

You can find my website with the full master list of resources via the link in my IG profile or you can just use this direct link: https://plurilingualism.com/master-post-of-spanish-resources/ πŸ’œ

The resources mentioned:

🌿 SpanishDict: my favorite resource for Spanish! It has soooo many amazing features and every Spanish learner (no matter the level or goal) can always get something out of it. I highly, highly recommend it!

πŸƒ Todo Claro: a great site for helpful worksheets and exercises. I mostly use this site for grammar, but they also have some new vocab and cultural resources too! 

🌿 Telemundo: I’m sure every Spanish learner knows this site, but it’s as popular as it is for a reason! Everything entertainment related (news, videos, reports, TV shows, articles, etc) can all be found on this site.

πŸƒ Spotify: another resource everyone knows! I have really been enjoying Doorway to Mexico lately. Its perfect for intermediate learners and it gives lots of great info for those with a focus on Latin American Spanish, in general, and especially those wanting to learn Mexican Spanish (like me!).

🌿 El verdadero robo del siglo: this limited series podcast is so interesting! Its produced in part with Duolingo and its very well made. Its very short, though, with only 6 episodes. It talks all about a very famous and interesting bank robbery in Argentina!

πŸƒ Netflix and Disney+: another resource that everyone knows, but for a reason! Netflix offers a feature to β€˜browse by language’ where you can filter by dubbing, subbing, or original language spoken. Disney+ has yet to offer anything like this (or to offer too many foreign options, in general!), but they are really, really good about offering soooo many dubbing and subbing options on ALL of their content and they have both European and Latin American Spanish.

We got back from our trip to Portugal and Spain and the next day had an apartment viewing. We were called the day after and offered the apartment!!! We will move in around mid April and it’s been so crazy organizing everything lately. Going from relaxing vacay right into stress is never easy πŸ˜‚πŸ‘Œ

But I’m happy to start to get back into a new routine and to study again. And so excited to move into a new home and have a new, (hopefully) amazing study and workspace!!!

This is my favorite part of the month. Looking back at my last months achievements and goals and then making the next month's plan. It is fun and creative and mindful and I love it. This month is quite similar to last month, in terms of the actual goals. I am still taking it fairly slow, as I still have lots of stuff going on in my life right now that I cannot change and takes up a lot more time than I would wish. Despite this, though, I am very excited to start to slowly pick the pace back up in March! I hope to finally crack up some new books and textbooks I got and I am really hoping to finish some great books this month! (Hopefully at least 2 in Spanish!) 😍

Have you made any goals for this month? OR are you more of a yearly or even weekly goal setter - or no goals at all!? πŸ˜„

Goodbye February! πŸ’‹ It is the shortest month o Goodbye February! πŸ’‹

It is the shortest month of the year, but I didnt think it would fly by SO fast!! It felt like 5 days long, haha. (Is anybody else shocked that we are quickly approaching the 25% mark for this year already???)

As you can see, I still didnt have much time this month for language learning this month. I am still in a difficult situation and my husband and I are STILL looking for an apartment, so there are still a lot of white spaces. This is disappointing to me, but I expected it. As long as I try my best and get at least half done, I am happy with my language learning progress! And that is just what I did this month πŸ‘

Usually, I get the most done in Spanish and Korean and the least in the other 3 languages. This month, I clearly got the most done in Portuguese!!! I didn't do too hot with Korean, on the other hand. I am very surprised to see this! I did have much less on my goal list for Portuguese, but still. Korean is one of my higher priority languages and so I will need to pay a bit more attention to it next month πŸ’• 

Did you guys make any goals this past month and did you manage to hit most/all of them? πŸ€—

Spanish Reflexive Verbs: a Simple How to Guide!

Spanish Reflexive Verbs: a Simple How to Guide! Plurilingualism.com

Reflexive verbs can be a particularly tricky part of the Spanish language for beginners to master!

Here is a simple and straightforward guide to help you master reflexive Spanish verbs in no time. Adding these types of verbs into your Spanish vocabulary is sure to make you sound a great deal more proficient and get you one step closer to sounding as close to a native speaker as possible!

Keep reading to learn what these verbs are and why we use them, to determine what different forms you can use, to find a list of common reflexive verbs, and to find lots of examples of reflexive sentences and helpful media.

What is a Reflexive Verb?

What are Reciprocal Verbs?

Why do we use Reflexive Verbs and Pronouns in Spanish?

What is the Difference Between a Reflexive Verb and a Non-Reflexive Verb?

Where do you Place the Reflexive Pronoun in a Sentence?

How do you Conjugate a Reflexive Verb in Spanish?

What are the Most Common Reflexive Verbs in Spanish?

Example Reflexive Verb Sentences in Spanish!

-> More Resources! <-


What is a reflexive verb?

A reflexive verb is one where the action of the verb is preformed on oneself. AKA when you are talking about reflexive actions!

For example, if you wash a car, the verb is lavar. If you wash yourself, however, the verb (in its infinitive form) is lavarse!

This ‘se’ attached to the end of the verb is the reflexive pronoun – more details on that later! It indicates that the subject of this sentence (you, in this case) is preforming the verb action on themselves (yourself, in this case).

Therefore, in a reflexive sentence, the subject of the sentence and the object of the sentence are the same!

You can also use this the other way around to predict if you should be using a reflexive or non-reflexive verb in a sentence. If the subject and the object are the same in a sentence, you should be using or looking for a reflexive verb!

Jump to top!


What are reciprocal verbs?

When an action is being preformed by 2 or more subjects on themselves, it is called a reciprocal verb! So whenever you say we do this to ourselves, you (all) do this to yourselves, or they do that to themselves, the verb is a reciprocal verb.

Reciprocal verbs are just a form of reflexive verbs. The only difference is that ‘reciprocal’ is the technically correct term to describe the verb if its a group of people (2 or more), instead of just one person preforming an action on themselves.

For all intents and purposes, reciprocal verbs are usually just referred to as reflexive verbs and will be for the rest of this guide, as well!

Jump to top!


Why do we use reflexive verbs and pronouns in Spanish?

In English we often leave out the subject pronoun. For example, English speakers don’t usually say I am getting myself dressed or I am showering myself. We typically just say I’m getting dressed or I’m showering, etc.

Spanish is it’s own, unique and beautiful language, though, and how you speak in your native language (whether that is English or another language!) will never be a 1 to 1 match for how you should speak in Spanish. To truly immerse yourself in a language and learn it well, we must learn to separate our target language from our native language. We must learn to think and act in our target language and not in our own.

In Spanish, you must always include reflexive pronouns whenever you use a reflexive verb and and you cannot swap a reflexive verb for a non-reflexive one for the same meaning. It is how the language was created. Including reflexive pronouns with reflexive verbs makes sentences clear and straightforward for anyone listening to or reading the language.

Jump to top!


What is the difference between a reflexive verb and a non-reflexive verb?

In general, a reflexive verb is just a verb where the subject and object of the sentence are one in the same, as mentioned above.

Most verbs can be both reflexive and non-reflexive! As we read up top, ‘lavar’ means to wash. If you wash yourself, the verb becomes reflexive and is now ‘lavarse‘.

It is important to check if a verb you are learning has both a reflexive and a non-reflexive form, as whichever form it takes will lead to a different meaning. Some verbs take very different meanings depending on if they are reflexive or not. For example, ‘volver’ means to return, but ‘volverse‘ means to become!

You can most easily see if a verb is a reflexive or non-reflexive verb (or both!) in any dictionary. If the verb ends in one of the three verb endings (IR, AR, or ER), its a non-reflexive (regular) verb. If it has a se ending (e.g ponerse), it is a reflexive verb!

This bit on the end of the reflexive verb, –se, is called the reflexive pronoun as mentioned above. When you make a sentence, depending on who the subject of your sentence is, you may need to change this to a different pronoun! Below is a chart with all of the Spanish reflexive pronouns.

Spanish reflexive verb pronoun chart. Subject pronouns, reflexive pronouns, English reflexive pronouns, and examples. Plurilingualism.com

As you can see, if you are washing yourself, if they are washing themselves, or if I am washing myself, the reflexive pronoun will always be different.

Jump to top!


Where do you place the reflexive pronoun in a sentence?

In general, you will place this immediately before the conjugated verb. For example: Me lavo la cara todas las noches. – I wash my face every night.

Even in a negative sentence, you will keep this pronoun in front of the verb and you will place ‘no’ before the pronoun before the verb. Example: No me lavo la cara todas las noches. – I dont wash my face every night.

There are three main exceptions to this rule, though!

You do not place the reflexive pronoun immediately before the conjugated verb if:

  1. you are using the imperative form (i.e if you are giving a command) -> Lorena, lΓ‘vate las manos antes de comer. – Lorena, wash your hands before eating.
  2. you are using the progressive form -> Se estΓ‘ lavando la cara ahora mismo. – He is washing his face right now.
  3. you use the infinitive form of the verb (for example, in the case of two verbs) -> OlvidΓ© lavarme las manos antes de la cena. – I forgot to wash my hands before dinner.

If you are just starting out in Spanish though, there is no need to memorize these exceptions right now.

If you are a bit more advanced, then you can try to commit these to memory, but as you learn about each exception (the imperative, progressive, and double verb leading to an infinitive) you will naturally understand why they are exceptions and how each sentence should naturally flow.

Jump to top!


How do you conjugate a reflexive verb in Spanish?

You would conjugate these verbs just like any other verb!

In order to do this, you need to find the infinitive and then attach the proper verb ending, according to the subject of the sentence and the tense you are using.

Below is a quick recap of the present tense conjugations for AR, IR, and ER verbs!

Spanish verb endings chart for AR, IR, and ER (regular) verbs.

If you are ever unsure, you can use any dictionary (my personal favorite is SpanishDict) or Google any conjugation chart for any specific verb. Some verbs are irregular, so be sure to double check conjugation, unless you know it is a regular verb!

Jump to top!


What are the most common reflexive verbs in Spanish?

As you will see, there are a lot of reflexive verbs to be found in our daily routines! Most personal care tasks take the reflexive form in Spanish, because you are often doing an action to or on yourself.

Take a moment to try to think what actions you do daily that you think will be reflexive verbs in Spanish. I am sure you can guess many of these below!!

  • Abrigarse (to bundle up [warm])
  • Aburrirse (to be bored)
  • Acostarse (to go to bed)
  • Afeitarse (to shave)
  • Asustarse (to be frightened or worried)
  • Caerse (to fall down or fall over)
  • Cepillarse (to brush ones hair or teeth)
  • Conocerse (to know oneself or to know each other)
  • Contarse (to tell or share with one another)
  • Cuidarse (to take care of oneself)
  • Casarse (to get married)
  • Desinteresarse (to be disinterested or to lose interest)
  • Despertarse (to wake up)
  • Divertirse (to enjoy oneself)
  • Dormirse (to fall asleep)
  • Fijarse (to pay attention)
  • Insultarse (to insult one another)
  • Irse (to leave)
  • Lastimarse (to hurt one another)
  • Lavarse (to wash oneself)
  • Levantarse (to get up)
  • Llamarse (to be named)
  • Maquillarse (to put on makeup)
  • Negarse (to decline or refuse)
  • Olvidarse (to forget)
  • Peinarse (to comb or style one’s hair)
  • Pelearse (to fight one another)
  • Ponerse (to put clothes on or to get/be a certain emotion)
  • Quedarse (to stay)
  • Quitarse (to take off clothing or move out of the way)
  • ReΓ­rse (to laugh)
  • Saludarse (to greet one another)
  • Secarse (to dry off)
  • Sentarse (to sit)
  • Sentirse (to feel)
  • Vestirse (to get dressed)
  • Volverse (to become)

Example reflexive verb sentences in Spanish!

I will end this post by offering lots of examples of reflexive verbs that I hope will help you master this aspect of Spanish grammar!

The first example is the most simple and each example sentence from that first sentence increases in difficulty. Going from simple verbs in present tense to more complex sentences with perhaps the past tense or auxiliary verbs or a special type of verb, etc.

– ΒΏPor quΓ© siempre me siento cansado? – Why do I always feel tired?

– Mateo se peina con el peine de su padre. – Mateo combs his hair with his father’s brush.

– Trabajamos duro, pero tambiΓ©n nos divertimos. – We work hard, but we also play hard (literally ‘we also enjoy ourselves’).

– SΓ­, Β‘te olvidaste del resto de nosotros! – Yeah, you forgot about the rest of us!

– El edificio se cayΓ³ tras el terremoto. – The building fell down after the earthquake.

– Los artistas se maquillan ellos mismos antes de cada funciΓ³n. – The artists put on their own makeup before each performance.

– De hecho, jamΓ‘s me sentΓ­ mejor en toda mi vida. – Actually, I have never felt better in my whole life.

– No nos conocemos, pero he leΓ­do mucho sobre ti. – We have never met, but I have heard a lot about you.

– El programa era tan aburrido que me dormΓ­. – The program was so boring that I fell asleep.

– A veces, los padres se lastiman entre sΓ­ o lastiman a sus hijos. – Sometimes, parents hurt each other or hurt their kids. (* Notice the reflexive and non-refelxive verb use here?!)

– Si usted estΓ‘ apurado, hay mΓ‘s posibilidad de caerse. – If you are in a rush, there is more a chance to fall down.

– ΒΏcΓ³mo te volviste tan valiente asΓ­ de repente? – How did you get so brave all of a sudden?

– El paciente se siente revitalizado y vigoroso despuΓ©s de despertarse. – The patient feels revitalized and strong after waking up.

– Sin embargo, incluso cuando los recursos son escasos, nos negamos a darnos por vencidas. – Nonetheless, even when resources are scarse, we refuse to give up.

– Todos nos distraemos y es mejor reirse y suavemente re-enfocarse. – We all get distracted, its best to laugh at yourself and gently refocus. (Triple whammy here with 3 reflexive verbs!)

πŸƒ Spotify: another resource everyone knows! I have really been enjoying Doorway to Mexico lately. Its perfect for intermediate learners and it gives lots of great info for those with a focus on Latin American Spanish, in general, and especially those wanting to learn Mexican Spanish (like me!).

🌿 El verdadero robo del siglo: this limited series podcast is so interesting! Its produced in part with Duolingo and its very well made. Its very short, though, with only 6 episodes. It talks all about a very famous and interesting bank robbery in Argentina!

πŸƒ Netflix and Disney+: another resource that everyone knows, but for a reason! Netflix offers a feature to β€˜browse by language’ where you can filter by dubbing, subbing, or original language spoken. Disney+ has yet to offer anything like this (or to offer too many foreign options, in general!), but they are really, really good about offering soooo many dubbing and subbing options on ALL of their content and they have both European and Latin American Spanish.

Halli hallo! πŸ‹ Long time, no see! I can’t b Halli hallo! πŸ‹ Long time, no see! 

I can’t believe this is my first time posting (and my first real week studying again!) since March 2nd ! ! 

We got back from our trip to Portugal and Spain and the next day had an apartment viewing. We were called the day after and offered the apartment!!! We will move in around mid April and it’s been so crazy organizing everything lately. Going from relaxing vacay right into stress is never easy πŸ˜‚πŸ‘Œ

But I’m happy to start to get back into a new routine and to study again. And so excited to move into a new home and have a new, (hopefully) amazing study and workspace!!!

My March language goals spread πŸ€ This is my fa My March language goals spread πŸ€

This is my favorite part of the month. Looking back at my last months achievements and goals and then making the next month's plan. It is fun and creative and mindful and I love it. This month is quite similar to last month, in terms of the actual goals. I am still taking it fairly slow, as I still have lots of stuff going on in my life right now that I cannot change and takes up a lot more time than I would wish. Despite this, though, I am very excited to start to slowly pick the pace back up in March! I hope to finally crack up some new books and textbooks I got and I am really hoping to finish some great books this month! (Hopefully at least 2 in Spanish!) 😍

Have you made any goals for this month? OR are you more of a yearly or even weekly goal setter - or no goals at all!? πŸ˜„

Goodbye February! πŸ’‹ It is the shortest month o Goodbye February! πŸ’‹

It is the shortest month of the year, but I didnt think it would fly by SO fast!! It felt like 5 days long, haha. (Is anybody else shocked that we are quickly approaching the 25% mark for this year already???)

As you can see, I still didnt have much time this month for language learning this month. I am still in a difficult situation and my husband and I are STILL looking for an apartment, so there are still a lot of white spaces. This is disappointing to me, but I expected it. As long as I try my best and get at least half done, I am happy with my language learning progress! And that is just what I did this month πŸ‘

Usually, I get the most done in Spanish and Korean and the least in the other 3 languages. This month, I clearly got the most done in Portuguese!!! I didn't do too hot with Korean, on the other hand. I am very surprised to see this! I did have much less on my goal list for Portuguese, but still. Korean is one of my higher priority languages and so I will need to pay a bit more attention to it next month πŸ’• 

Did you guys make any goals this past month and did you manage to hit most/all of them? πŸ€—

TTMIK level 2 study Session πŸ’˜ I always forget TTMIK level 2 study Session πŸ’˜

I always forget to do something and I always take a pic and upload it and only then do I *sometimes* notice πŸ˜‚ I forgot to highlight the example sentences on the bottom in gray πŸ€ͺ 

At least I noticed this time so I can fix it now! One of my favorite parts of my notebook is the gray highlighted sample sentences, as it’s so easy to flip through later and spot them for review. And yet it’s also the thing I forget to do the most πŸ˜‚
