You may already know the Spanish word for tomorrow? It’s “mañana.” Literally mañana means tomorrow. But it’s often used in Hispanic culture is to simply mean “not today.”
You see, Hispanic culture values polite speaking much more than they value precise speaking. And telling you that something will never get done … well it just wouldn’t be polite.
When Do You Plan to Learn Spanish?
So will you start learning Spanish today or mañana? I know that you want to learn Spanish, but are you satisfied with what you have done about it?
You see, everything ever done in the history of the world, was done on a day called “today” in a moment called “now.”
Big projects, like learning Spanish, get started “today” and then continue on other days also called “today.”
Nothing ever gets done “mañana,” whether you live in a Hispanic culture or not.

I’m glad you agree with the philosophy here! Another great tool I’ve used for several years now is:
Perfect practice makes perfect.
This just means that when we drill poor habits into how we learn, we will always demonstrate those poor habits. Since learning that tip I’ve done my best to practice what I practice with the intent to do it perfectly every time, knowing still that I am learning. The driving force there allows me to bring awareness to what I am doing which ISN’T perfect and adjust it into better alignment.
This opens the door to understanding that I am only as good as my ability to allow for growth. Perfect is constantly changing perception.
I’m excited to hear your success stories with the Language101.com software!
Wonderful article! I totally agree with the moments of weakness. I’m surfing around, reading on how to learn Spanish without actually learning a thing! My husband and I are planning a vacation to Cancun in November, and I would like to be able to speak with the natives. Do you think that would honestly be enough time to accurately learn and retain some of the language? (I took Spanish in high school and was very good at it, but as another article said, if you don’t use it, it’s gone!)
You could learn a lot in that length of time! In fact with our program, you could learn a lot on your flight to Cancun! Seriously don’t wait until you are taking off, but do learn some, you will have a lot more fun.
