Day 7 self-checkPage 4 of the 7 Day Spanish Starter Plan: Day 6 recall prompts, Day 7 role plays and a self-check table

1. Reflect on three everyday tasks.

Try each Day 7 role play, then note how much help you used. Repeat an example whenever it helps.

TaskWhat to tryUsed the exampleNeeded a small promptFrom memory
Meet someoneGreet them, say your name and ask theirs. Finish with “Mucho gusto.”
  • Used the example
  • Needed a small prompt
  • From memory

  • Used the example
  • Needed a small prompt
  • From memory
Ask and clarifyAsk where the station or bathroom is. For an unclear reply, ask for repetition.
  • Used the example
  • Needed a small prompt
  • From memory

This is a practice check, not a fluency or proficiency test. Keep your notes for yourself; you do not need to submit them. The same table is on page 4 of the free plan.

Mostly “used the example”?

That is a normal place to be after one week. Repeat the dialogue that felt hardest, reading both roles, before you try another lesson.

Mostly “small prompt”?

Cover the Spanish and recall one line at a time. Revisit the same phrases on another day.

Some “from memory”?

Keep those phrases warm with a quick review, and add one new phrase from a free lesson.

2. Choose two phrases for next time.

Pick phrases for a situation you expect to use. Write their meanings, then set a small practice slot. Use paper, your notes or the planner.
