La regla · The rule
The whole reflexive routine in one breath: me despierto, me levanto, me ducho, me visto, me lavo los dientes, me acuesto.
Y también · And also
Then at someone else: él se levanta a las seis — ¿y tú, a qué hora te levantas? Temprano o tarde — early or late — is the only honest answer.
Ojo · Watch out
The reflexive pronoun changes with the person: me levanto, te levantas, se levanta. Listing the routine fast is where me, te and se get dropped — keep them.
levantarse, presente — the table
yo me levanto · tú te levantas · él/ella/usted se levanta · nosotros nos levantamos · ustedes se levantan · ellos/ellas se levantan
Do it now — on paper
Say all 7 words aloud twice from the respelling, then once from the Spanish spelling alone — begin with yo me despierto.
Copy every word with its accents on paper; then cover the English column and write each meaning back from the Spanish.
Write out levantarse, presente in full from memory, every person, and check each form against the table above.
This free course is the reading half. The writing half — write-in lessons, daily practice pages with built-in review, self-checks and a full answer key — is the companion workbook series, The Spanish Ladder: one workbook per module, fifteen in all, released band by band with the Basic band (Modules 1–5) first.
