A1 Level 3: Long Term Plans
Yesterday, my good friend Susan and I had a very interesting conversation about
our future careers. We will graduate from high school in a couple of years so we
need to start thinking about what we want to do with our lifes.
Tim: Hey, Susan! What do you want to study after we finish high
school?
Susan: So, what about you, Tim? Did you figure out what you
want to study when you go to college?
Planning our steps and setting goals for the future is very important to
structure our lives.
Let’s learn how to talk about those future plans and projections all of us have.

Talking about future plans and intentions in English is very easy. You just need to practice all you just learned in
order to improve your language skills.
Keep in mind
In English, you usually find sounds that can be very difficult to pronounce for Spanish speakers
because we don’t have these sounds in our own language.
Mastering the pronunciation of these difficult sounds is very important in order to sound more
native-like. This time, we’ll check a couple of these problematic sounds.
/dz/ and /j/ are sounds that can be difficult to pronounce. Look at each
picture and focus on the way each sound is articulated.
/dz/
Sounds like the letter "ll" in the
Spanish word llamar.
/j/
Sounds like the letter "y" in the
Spanish word vaya.
