A routine is easier to describe when you connect activities to times of day and sequence.
The idea
Use me despierto for waking up, desayuno for having breakfast and almorzamos for having lunch. Add después to say what happens afterwards, por la tarde for the afternoon and por la noche for the evening or night.
Examples
- Me despierto a las seis y media.I wake up at half past six.
- Desayuno en casa.I have breakfast at home.
- Después voy al trabajo.Afterwards I go to work.
- Almorzamos a la una.We have lunch at one.
- Por la tarde hago ejercicio.In the afternoon I exercise.
- Por la noche leo antes de dormir.At night I read before sleeping.
Read-aloud uses a synthetic Spanish voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.
No Spanish device voice is available. You can still read the text.
Watch out
Meal names and typical times vary across Spanish-speaking communities. Describe your own routine rather than assuming everyone follows one timetable.
