20 Inspirational Quotes in Spanish for Your Classroom During NFLW

It’s National Foreign Language Week (NFLW) from March 1-7. Let’s take advantage of this week as an opportunity to inspire our Spanish learning journey and explore inspirational quotes in Spanish you’ll want to share with your students! 

We compiled these 20 uplifting quotes in Spanish and supplied you with English translations. They are related to living, learning, and appreciating the doors that open to us by knowing a foreign language. 

We created this post especially for middle and high school Spanish teachers who are celebrating NFLW. Hopefully, you’ll be inspired to post them in your classroom and use them in your lessons!
