Formula

From Day 2: El piso (The flat)

Lavadora and lavandería

Lavandería means “laundromat,” while lavadora means “washing machine.”

Hear it in the conversation

    No, pero abajo hay una lavandería: Lavandería Fina.

    No, but downstairs there’s a laundromat: Lavandería Fina.

Both come from lavar (“to wash”): one is the place and the other is the machine.

Notes explain it. The conversation makes it stick.

In Formula 100 you hear each phrase in a short scene first, then recall it from memory. The phrases come back in your review deck just before you’d forget them. From Week 2, you also rebuild each conversation in Spanish a week later.
