Escuchar

To listen
Real World Example
The Spanish verb "escuchar" means "to listen." To help you remember it, think of the phrase "Scooch closer!" Imagine someone telling you to "scooch" closer because they want you to listen intently to what they're saying. Just like you might lean in and pay attention when someone has juicy gossip or a secret to tell, "escuchar" is all about actively tuning in with your ears. So, next time you hear "escuchar," just remember, it's time to scooch closer and listen up! 👂
