Describe Routines and Experiences

Learners describe their days and their lives in more detail. They use reflexive verbs for routines (me levanto, me ducho, me acuesto), the common stem-changing verbs (empiezo, puedo, duermo, pido, juego), and the present perfect to talk about experiences (¿Alguna vez has probado…? Nunca he…). They compare a school day in Madrid and Buenos Aires and finish by interviewing a partner and writing about their own routine and experiences.
