🇬🇧🇪🇸 willingness - voluntad : English Lesson

Meaning of "willingness" ("voluntad"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

Willingness is when you are ready and happy to help or do something, instead of complaining or refusing. If you have willingness, you say things like “Sure, I’ll try!” or “Okay, I can help!” even if the job might be new, hard, or a little annoying. It doesn’t mean you love the chore or task, but you agree to do it with a good attitude because it’s needed or kind.
