How to Say "i usually" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “i usually” is “suelo” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.

Your Go-To Verb for Habits
To talk about what you usually do, use soler like a helper verb. Just put the main action verb right after it in its original '-ar', '-er', or '-ir' form. For example: Suelo caminar (I usually walk).
Talking About Past Habits
To talk about things you used to do, use the imperfect form: solía. For example: Cuando era niño, solía jugar fútbol. (When I was a kid, I used to play soccer.)
Confusing 'usually do' with 'am used to'
Mistake: “Suelo el ruido. (Trying to say 'I am used to the noise.')”
Correction: Estoy acostumbrado/a al ruido. Use `soler` for actions you do (`Suelo correr`), not for things you are accustomed to. For that, use `estar acostumbrado/a a`.
