Spanish Listening Practice #2

Background

This audio clip is part of a series of messages that my friend from Colombia, Dayana, left me in response to me asking her how her business project was going. “¿Cómo te va el emprendimiento?”

As her business adventure has to do with health and wellness, she begins to talk about how she’s been feeling lately and what changes she plans to make in her life to feel better.

This 1 minute long clip is loaded with verbs that we use to talk about daily routine and activities and other expressions that are used frequently in daily conversation.

Listening Task
