Spanish and Phrases You HAVE to Know

By Noah M. Benjamin

No matter where you are in the world, Spanish (and phrases in Spanish) pop up all the time. Spanish is the third most common language in the world, and is spoken by over 400 billion people. Learning some basic Spanish is one of the best things you can do for yourself!

I am going to provide you with some basic Spanish phrases, as well as some words of advice in speaking Spanish.

Basic Spanish Phrases

Hola = hello

Adios = good bye

Gracias = thank you

Donde esta? = Where is it?

Adonde? = to where

Como estas? = How are you?

Estoy bien = I am good

Me gusta = I like it

Bueno = Good

Perfecto = Perfect

A que hora? = When? / At what time?

Mi llamo ____ = My name is ____

Habla ingles? = Do you speak English? (Many people do but won't speak until you ask!)

Discuple = excuse me

Donde está el baño? = Where is the bathroom?

Words of Advice

Most people don't realize this, but following the right techniques, you can become conversational in Spanish in under two months. If you spend about two weeks studying Spanish basics with a good Spanish guide, and then make an effort to immerse yourself in the language (surround yourself in Spanish as mucha s you can) then you will find that your fluency will go up surprisingly fast. Using this method, I was able to speak Spanish with people in Latin America within about two months.

I highly recommend taking the time to learn more Spanish, and phrases like those above will be natural and simple to say!
