Esperar

Real World Example

The Spanish word "esperar" can mean "to wait," "to hope," or "to expect," but let's focus on "to wait" here. To help you remember it, think of "Esperanza" the famous Mexican-American author, Esperanza Spalding the jazz musician, or even "esperanza" itself, which means "hope" in Spanish. Picture yourself waiting in a long line and someone saying, "While you wait, hold onto a little esperanza." Waiting often comes with a sprinkle of hope, right? To make it even more playful, imagine "Espe-radar," like a radar scanning the horizon while you patiently wait for something to happen. Your "Espe-radar" is always on, waiting and hoping for the best! 🚦
