La Rutina – Describing your Daily Routine in Spanish

¿Qué haces todos los días? ¿Cuál es tu rutina diaria? These are two common questions to ask about someone’s daily routine in Spanish – la rutina diaria. In a previous lesson, we covered the most important words for  everyday activities  and made sentences with reflexive and non-reflexive verbs. This lesson will go a little further and teach you how to use the right vocabulary, phrases and structures to describe what you do daily to your friends or class. By the end of the lesson, we expect you to be able to write sentences and short descriptions about your daily routine in Spanish.

Vocabulary review: Daily routine and reflexive verbs in Spanish

First, we will review the vocabulary for daily activities. All the activities used to describe daily routines in Spanish are represented by verbs . This video explains how to conjugate reflexive verbs and use them to make sentences about everyday activities, as well as  how to ask what someone does every day and more. The final part of the video shows a short passage describing someone’s daily routine in Spanish for a typical day. The video is easy to follow and also includes many important things that you will not find in the rest of the lesson. Please activate the captions (cc) if you need them.

Describing daily routines in Spanish: examples and common verbs

Spanish reflexive verbs in daily routines.

Most activities in daily routines are verbs in infinitive like JUGAR (to play) or COMER (to eat), and sometimes Spanish reflexive verbs such as DESPERTARSE (wake up) and VESTIRSE (get dressed). In order to conjugate reflexive verbs, you have to conjugate the first part of the verb following the rules for regular or irregular verbs , and add a reflexive pronoun that agrees with the subject in the sentence. Too much, we know! That is why Spanish reflexive verbs are covered with a lot more details in an independent lesson. That being said, DESPERTARSE will change to “(Yo) Me despierto”, “(Tú) Te despiertas”, “(Él/Ella/Usted)Se despierta”.

The first example of a daily routine will show someone talking about his morning routine in Spanish, “ la rutina de la mañana “. Sequence words like “Primero” (first), “Luego” (then), “Antes de” (before), “Después de” (after) and “Finalmente”(finally) will be used in most descriptions to connect ideas. This will make the descriptions more real and complete. Pay attention to the way the vocabulary for daily routines in the box is used to make meaningful sentences and a complete paragraph.

My daily routine in Spanish

Example no. 1: mi rutina de la mañana en español (with some reflexive verbs).

Mi nombre es Ben. Yo me despierto a las seis de la mañana. Primero,  me levanto y luego me baño por 10 minutos. Antes de desayunar yo me cepillo los dientes y me visto. Después yo desayuno con mis hermanos y mis padres. Finalmente me voy a la escuela y regreso a mi casa al medio día.

Non-reflexive verbs in daily routines

In the previous example, the guy was talking about his own routine so he used sentences with the structure “Yo me + verb + complement”. As you can see in that example, verbs like DESAYUNAR and REGRESAR do not need the reflexive pronoun ME  because both of them are non-reflexive verbs in Spanish. For the verb IR, both “Yo me voy…” and “Yo voy…” are possible.

Here is a second example, but this time including some words for hobbies  and likes (ME GUSTA + activity) , as well as frequency adverbs such as “Siempre” (always), “De vez en cuando” (sometimes) and “A veces” (sometimes), besides non-reflexive verbs in the same paragraph about a daily routine in Spanish.

Example No. 2: My daily routine (including non-reflexive verbs)

Yo hago muchas actividades todos los días. Voy a la escuela en la mañana. Después de regresar almuerzo y descanso por una hora. Luego hago mis tareas y estudio para el día siguiente. Me gusta ver televisión y jugar videojuegos. También me gusta practicar deportes como fútbol y béisbol de vez en cuando. Siempre ayudo a limpiar la casa, lavar los trastes y hacer los quehaceres en la casa. A veces voy al cine con mis amigos o jugamos juntos.

Describing other people’s routine in Spanish

To talk about the activities that other people do  on a daily basis, we will use reflexive pronouns that actually refer to other people, not only “ME”, for example: “ Ella se baña ” (she takes a shower), “ Tú te vistes ” (You get dressed) and so on.

You can even say if a person has an interesting (interesante), simple (sencilla) or busy (ocupada) routine. Besides, you can combine sentences about your daily routine in Spanish with activities that other people do, e.g. “ Yo me levanto temprano y él se levanta tarde ” (I get up early and he gets up late). Normally, all you need to know is which verbs will behave in a reflexive way and which will not. It all comes to practice and seeing examples, so here is one more daily routine description for you to learn a few more things.

Example No. 3: My family’s daily activities in Spanish

Nuestra rutina diaria en español Yo hago muchas actividades todos los días. Tengo dos hijos, un niño y una niña. Me levanto a las 6 de la mañana, cocino el desayuno para nosotros y les ayudo a mis hijos a alistarse para ir a la escuela. Marcos se baña y se viste solo. Rosa hace muchas cosas por sí misma. Yo voy a mi trabajo a las 8 de la mañana. Cuando regreso hacemo s los quehaceres juntos y cenamos. Los niños se duermen a las 10 de la noche. En general, es una rutina muy ocupada.

Listening Activity No. 1: My daily routine in Spanish – Mi rutina diaria

Listening activity no. 2: what’s your routine like – ¿cómo es tu rutina, extra practice: finding the right order for a daily routine, practice and writing: a short essay about your daily routine in spanish.

Write a short essay talking about your daily routine. You can simply write three paragraphs, one talking about your morning routine in Spanish, another about the activities you do in the afternoon and so on. If possible, share it with a native speaker and ask him about his as well.

How To Describe Your Daily Routine In Spanish (Easy Template Included)

If I were to walk up to you right now and ask you in Spanish, “¿Cuál es tu rutina diaria?”

Would you be able to respond to me clearly and concisely?

If not, don’t worry because I’ll show you how to describe your daily routine in Spanish in today’s article.

I’ll give you a few common verbs and phrases that you will probably want to use, and then I’ll tell you my daily routine in Spanish using some of those verbs. 

After that, I want you to write your daily routine, or at least your morning routine, in the comments section below and then practice saying it.

Heck, even record yourself saying it, and over time you will improve.

Let’s get started.

Talking about daily routines or morning routines is a great conversation starter.  

We recently did an article on 15 phrases to boost your conversations, and talking about daily routines is a good one to add to that list. 

Often, when I am learning a language and talking with other people, one of the easiest ways to start that conversation is to ask them what their morning routine is and then tell them mine. 

So I will start by telling you my morning routine in Spanish, “La rutina de la mañana.” 

And I want you to be on the lookout for a few things, okay

First, I want you to notice that I use all verbs in the present tense. 

That’s because I am talking about something I do every day. So pay attention to that. 

Next, take note of the transition words, words like: 

• “Primero” (first) ” 
• Luego (next)
• Antes de (before)
• Después de (after)
• La ultima (the last thing)

Those are the most common transition words that you will use.

Reflexive verbs in Spanish

You will also notice that many of the verbs I will use will be reflexive verbs. 

I should probably do an entire article on reflexive verbs—and I have that on my list…

But for today, since we are talking about ourselves, we will be only talking in the present “yo” so it won’t be too difficult. 

Let me give you a quick rundown of what a reflexive verb is and how to use it in Spanish. 

Reflexive verbs go with reflexive pronouns to show that someone is performing an action on themselves. 

So let’s take the simple example of lavarse las manos. 

When you want to say I wash my hands, in Spanish, you would say, “me lavo las manos.”

The verb used is “ lavarse ” – to wash oneself, the reflexive verb, not lavar (to wash).

In this example, we conjugate lavarse in the present tense and place the pronoun in front.

• Me lavo las manos (I wash my hands)
• Te lavas las manos (You wash your hands)
• Se lava las manos (He washes his hands)
• Nos lavamos las manos (We wash our hands)
• Os laváis las manos (Y’all wash your hands)
• Se lavan las manos (They wash their hands)

One mistake many people make is they:

me lavo mis manos instead of me lavo las manos — t his is incorrect. 

Because you are using the reflexive verb, you don’t need the “mis” here. 

Make sense?

Again, today it should be easy because we are simply talking about ourselves. 

So everything will be conjugated in the me + present yo form. 

For example, me despierto, me levanto, me baño, etc. 

I think it will be best if we start with the morning routine. 

And that’s how I want you to start. 

It’s mainly because it’s effortless to have the same morning routine every day. 

It’s a little more challenging to have an entire daily routine that doesn’t change much. 

There are a lot of things that can happen throughout the day. 

So let me tell you my morning routine in Spanish, then after that, we will analyze what I said, and I will give you a simple template you can use to say your daily routine. 

Click play on the audio below to listen.

The script to the above audio:

Hola, me llamo Rocky. Primero, me despierto todas las mañanas a las nueve. Me levanto de la cama, me cepillo los dientes, me lavo la cara, y me baño. Tiendo la cama, después de bañarme. Luego , hago meditación. Después de meditar, saco a mi perro a pasear . La última cosa que hago, antes de empezar a trabajar, es tratar de leer por 30 minutos. 

Hi, my name is Rocky. First, I wake up every morning at nine a.m. I get out of bed, I brush my teeth, I wash my face, and I shower. I make the bed after I wash myself. Next, I do meditation. After meditating, I take my dog for a walk. The last thing I do, before I start work, is try to read for 30 minutes. 

Let’s analyze the script

First, I used me despierto to say when I wake up. 

I used me levanto (the verb levantarse) to talk about when I get out of bed. 

Then I use a few more reflexive verbs to talk about what I do to myself, I brush my teeth, wash my face, and take a shower ( me cepillo los dientes, me lavo la cara, me baño). 

Now let’s look at where I used the transition words.

I used primero to start. 

I used luego and después de . 

Then in the end I said, la ultima cosa and I also say antes de .

Below is a little template you can use when you are writing your morning routine in the comments below. 

I will check it and add any corrections to what you write below so definitely participate if you are up for the challenge. 

“Primero, me despierto todas las mañanas a las __________ (time). Me levanto de la cama. (Add what you do in the morning – cepillarse, lavarse, bañarse, desayunarse. Remember to conjugate it properly in the yo form. And also be sure the transition words to help your sentences flow: antes de, después de, and luego.) And then to finish, you can say La última cosa que hago es (verb).”

Okay, so now it’s on you… 

Amigo o amiga, ¿cuál es tu rutina diaria? Escríbela abajo en los comentarios.

Daily routine in Spanish: examples, vocab and worksheets!

Last Updated on September 14, 2022 by Keith Filed Under: Grammar , Language Learning , Language Worksheet

Daily routines. Some love them, others hate them, but nowadays most people have certain routines that they do end up doing every day. That’s why, if you want to get better at talking about yourself in Spanish, it’s important to practice talking about your daily schedule in Spanish!

In this post/worksheet, we’re going to provide you with verbs and daily routine vocabulary you will need. We’ll take you through a quick review of how reflexive verbs work. And you can show off your newfound knowledge in a daily routine worksheet at the end.

In this context, the main difference between Latin American Spanish and Peninsular Spanish i s the fact that you don’t have to worry about learning the vosotros form for the reflexive verbs. Lucky! So, let’s get started!

Daily Routine in Spanish Examples

We’ll jump straight into an example about Fiorella, a 24-year-old marketing assistant, who will describe her daily routine on weekdays in the first person.

7 am: Me levanto, me baño y me visto 7:00 am: I get up, have a shower and get dressed.

7.30 am: Tomo desayuno mientras veo un poco de televisión. 7:30 am: I have breakfast while I watch a bit of television.         

8 am: Salgo de la casa para ir al trabajo. Me voy en metro.   8:00 am: I leave the house to go to work. I take the metro. 

9 am: Llego a la oficina. 9:00 am: I arrive at the office. 

1 pm: Almuerzo con mis colegas en la cafetería o un restaurante cercano.  1pm: I have lunch with my coworkers at a café or nearby restaurant. 

5.30 pm: Termina mi jornada de trabajo. Los lunes, miércoles y jueves me voy al gimnasio. 5:30 pm: My working day finishes. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays I go to the gym.

7.30 pm: Llego a casa y preparo la cena. Luego leo un poco o chateo con mis amigos. 7:30 pm: I get home and prepare dinner. Then I read a little bit or chat to my friends.

10.30 pm: Me lavo los dientes, me pongo el piyama y me acuesto para dormir. 10:30 pm: I brush my teeth, put my pajamas on and go to sleep.  

Daily routines in Spanish using reflexive verbs

Don’t let the term “reflexive verb” fill you with dread: there’s actually a lot less to think about than the term infers. Have a look at the schedules from the example above and you’ll see these sentences: me levanto , and me lavo los dientes . Those are reflexive verbs in action. The me and se are reflexive pronouns and translate well to “(to) myself”, “(to) himself/herself/itself”.

The big difference between English and Spanish is the fact that many more verbs are used with reflexive pronouns in Spanish. We often just resort to using the possessive pronoun in English. Example: Tu te lavas los dientes (you brush your teeth). It would sound odd to add “yourself” here somewhere.

Here’s a quick review of the conjugation of reflexive verbs using the present tense of “peinarse” (to comb one’s hair):

• Yo me peino (I brush my hair)
• Tú te peinas (You brush your hair)
• El/ella/Usted se peina (He/she/You (formal) brushes his/her/your hair)
• Nosotros nos peinamos (We brush our hair)
• Ellos/ustedes se peinan (They/you (plural) brush their/your hair) 

By now, many of you might be asking yourselves: but how do I know which verbs are reflexive? Unfortunately, there’s no definitive list to refer to or trick to apply. The best you can do is keep your eyes and ears open when reading and hearing Spanish and take note of which verbs are often reflexive and in what context.

Daily routine Spanish vocab

Here is some more useful vocabulary in addition to the words used in the examples above:

Maquillarse / afeitarse / ducharse To put makeup on / shave / have a shower

Contestar correos / tener reuniones / escribir reportes To reply to emails / have meetings / write reports

Hacer la cama / limpiar la casa / lavar los platos / barrer la sala / sacar la basura To make the bed / clean the house / do the dishes / sweep the living room / take out the trash

Ayudar con las tareas / leer un cuento / acostar a los niños Help with homework / read a story / put the kids to bed

Hacer deporte / jugar futbol / ver televisión / ir al teatro / juntarse con amigos / ir al cine To play sports / play soccer / watch TB / go to the theater / get together with friends / go to the cinema

Daily routine worksheet

Time to prove you have been paying attention! In the worksheet below we have included several exercises to test you on the verbs and vocabulary from the article. We have purposefully decided not to offer a translation in English in the exercises to make sure it is a true test of your new Spanish daily routine vocabulary. Answers can be found at the end of the article. ¡Mucha suerte!

60 Terms to Describe Your Daily Routine in Spanish

Travel phrases will come in handy when you’re gallivanting about in Spanish-speaking countries.

Food words will help you navigate your way around even the most advanced Spanish-language restaurant menus.

But when it comes to vocabulary that you can use every day, there’s nothing quite like Spanish daily routine vocabulary.

Morning Routine Spanish Vocabulary

Hygiene spanish vocabulary, meal time spanish vocabulary, bedtime routine spanish vocabulary, activity routine spanish vocabulary, vocabulary for adding details to your routine, reflexive verbs and daily routine, how to practice daily routine vocabulary, and one more thing….

Download: This blog post is available as a convenient and portable PDF that you can take anywhere. Click here to get a copy. (Download)

So we’ve got the main routine words down, but what if you want to describe them a little more—for example, tell someone when or how often you do said routine?

For this, knowing some Spanish adverbs of frequency and where to place them in a sentence will help. 

Here are some adverbs and other vocabulary words that might come in handy for expressing your routine with a bit more accuracy. 

You probably noticed that a lot of these words end in se , which means they’re reflexive verbs. This is the verb type we use when the agent of the action is acting on his or her own self.

When an agent is acting on someone else, we might still use pronouns like me, te  and  le  to indicate who is being acted upon, but the verb is no longer reflexive.

Let’s look at the difference between despertar  and  despertarse (to wake up).

If we’re going to use the reflexive version of this verb, then the acting agent must be the same as who the agent is acting upon, so you’ll start with the reflexive infinitive verb despertar se and turn that into:

Me despierto (I wake up)

Te despiertas (You wake up) 

Se despierta (He/she wakes up)

To indicate that someone is acting on someone else, you might have:

Ella despierta a Juan (She wakes up Juan)

Mi madre me despierta (My mother wakes me up)

Te despierto (I wake you up)

Now that we’ve gone over these new vocabulary words, let’s look at some different ways you can practice these words and a few different resources you can use:

• Create a daily journal. Write about what you’ve done each day, using these words to describe your own routine. As you write, you’ll become accustomed to describing your day with your new vocabulary words.
• Create flashcards. Flashcards are the tried-and-true method to learn vocabulary. You can create them by hand or use an app such as Anki .

FluentU takes authentic videos—like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks—and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.

My daily routine

I wrote a short passage about my daily life. Would you please take a look and correct any mistake for me?

English version:

I wake up early every day, but I get up at 7:00 am. After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I comb my hair. Before going to school, I have breakfast with my family. I usually come back home at 5:30 pm. I do homework before watching TV. After taking a bath, I go to bed at 11 pm. I always fall asleep soon if I am very tired.

Spanish version:

Me despierto temprano cada día, pero me levanto a las siete de la mañana. Después de cepillarme los dientes y lavarme la cara, me peino el pelo. Antes de ir a la escuela, desayuno con mi familia. Normalmente llego a casa a las cinco y media de la tarde. Hago la tarea antes de mirar la televisión. Después de bañarme, me acuesto a las once de la noche. Siempre me duermo rápido si estoy muy cansada.

I think I need some transitional words to make my passage sound more smooth. But I haven't learned them yet. Please add some to my writing if necessary.

Should I use "Mi vida diaria" or "Mi vida cotidiana" as the title of the passage? What's the difference between "diario" and "cotidiana"?

dairio = daily. That occurs every day. A it can be used as a synonym of cotidiano in some contexts. cotidiano = daily. Implies routine, normality. So, they are pretty equivalent.

It sounds smooth to me. Congratulations. Just one thing: I would say "vuelvo a casa" (come back).

The title: daily life would be vida cotidiana .

I have no intention to beat atxeko. Here's my opinion:

"vuelvo a casa" = I come back (return) home; "llego a casa" = I arrive home

The first expression is better because you left home in the morning.

100 Words Essay on My Daily Life (My Daily Routine Essay)

A student should follow an effective routine to achieve success. I’m a morning person. The calm and quiet early morning helps me to concentrate better. I have a daily routine that starts early at 5 am and ends with planning the next day's work at 10 pm. I wake up at five and study till 7. I eat my breakfast at 8 am and leave for school at 8:30. Revision in the morning helps me understand better in class.

I make sure my routine does not become monotonous, so after I reach home, I go and play outside with my friends. Dinner time is always family time. The day ends with a short walk on the terrace gazing at the stars. The routine keeps me active and productive all the time.

200 Words Essay on My Daily Life (My Daily Routine Essay)

“ We are what we repeatedly do ,” says my dad daily quoting Aristotle. According to him, following a daily routine consistently will help me achieve my goals. He says that by planning my day and following it, I can complete all my work on time, avoiding pressure and being more productive.

My Daily Routine

Every morning I wake up at 5 am to the sound of my brother’s alarm which wakes me up. Exercising in the morning keeps me energetic and active the entire day. The fresh aroma of roasted coffee beans from the kitchen indicates coffee time. Later, I diligently sit for my morning studies and revise the previous day's concepts.

By 8:00 am, I’m ready for school. My mother prepares a delicious breakfast which I eat while watching the daily news along with my brother. 8:30 am I leave for school on my bicycle. Halfway, my friends join me. After lunch, I prefer light walking and freshening up for the afternoon study session. Classes end by 3:30 pm. After school, I go to the playground with my basketball team, where we practise for 2 hours, and I reach home by 6 pm. I finish my homework before supper.

Before going to bed, I prepare for the next day at school. Weekends are more relaxed. Mornings are usually spent cycling with friends. Afternoons, I help my mother grocery shop and cook in the kitchen. In the evening, I visit my grandma and have dinner with her.

500 Words Essay on My Daily Life Essay (My Daily Routine Essay)

“Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise” is taught to us from childhood. Following the principle, I begin my day early, around 5 am. I spend the first hour of my day exercising with my brother. I love sunrises. Around 6 am, I take a pleasant walk in the park with my pet dog “Candy” enjoying the beautiful, heartwarming morning light.

My Morning Routine

After the walk, I freshen up and study for an hour. I start with the daily newspaper, followed by my curriculum subjects. At precisely 8 am, we all gather at the dining table to have our breakfast. By 8:45, everyone departs for their respective work. I will reach school in 15 minutes by bicycle. Classes begin at 9:30 and continue till 12:30 pm.

My Afternoon Routine

Lunch breaks are always fun. I share my lunch with all my friends. I, along with my friends, walk to the dining hall; on the way, I make sure to go through the school's bulletin board. We discuss sports, television serials, and games while having our lunch. Lunch breaks are when I meet my seniors, discuss my doubts, and ask for their suggestions.

Classes go on till 3:30 pm. The last hour of the day is dedicated to PTE or games. This is the time when I relax and have fun. We indulge ourselves in fun games like running, tennis, basketball etc.

My Evening Routine

By 4:30, on the way home, I like stopping by my favourite chaat shop and enjoying some delicacies there. After arriving home at 5:00, I relax for an hour, eat some snacks, and watch my favourite tv show. 6 - 7:30 I go out to play.

By 7:30 pm , I’m back to studying, finishing my homework, and revising the day's curriculum till 8:30. We have our supper by 9. Everyone updates about their daily happenings during supper. I watch television for some time after dinner and finally am off to bed by 10 pm. I end my day by offering my gratitude for everything.

My Favourite part of the day

The time I have my supper is the best part of my day. I enjoy it a lot. My father usually asks us about our day. He usually tells us stories from his office, cracks jokes, and sometimes asks us puzzling questions. The winner gets to choose the tv program to watch. Later, the entire family goes out for a short walk with Candy. It's the perfect way to end the day with love, warmth and togetherness.

My Daily Relaxing Recreation

Every passing moment is an opportunity. But sometimes, these deadlines and schedules work me up. Everyone should have a hobby to relax and unwind from their daily monotonous routine. So, I make sure to relax now and then with some hobbies. My mother and I love to bake. Baking helps us relax. I feel calm and composed after baking.
