Beyond Language ✨
"The subjunctive is not just a grammar rule—it's a mirror of the human experience. It expresses what we hope for, what we doubt, what we wish could happen but cannot yet see.
To speak in the subjunctive is to honor the unknown and give voice to possibility. It’s a way to stay open, to feel deeply, and to share what lives inside us before it becomes reality.
Learning the subjunctive in Spanish is learning to be present with uncertainty—and to speak from the heart, not just the mind."
