The Spanish Verbs Traer and Llevar

In this episode, we practice using the Spanish verbs TRAER and LLEVAR. TRAER means "to bring," and LLEVAR means "to bring" or "to take" — but unlike their English counterparts, these verbs imply a specific direction of movement, which can trip up non-native speakers. After a lesson packed with examples, you'll know exactly when to use each one. We'll also cover the reflexive verb LLEVARSE and practice conjugating the irregular verb TRAER in the present and preterite tenses.
