Spanish is one of the most popular languages ​​in the world, it is spoken in Spain and in Latin America, although they speak dialects and variations of classical Spanish. Classical Spanish is the basis and is well understood in Peru, Chile, Portugal, Mexico, Cuba and other South American countries. In general, it turns out more than half a billion people in the world. So learning 100 phrases in Spanish will be useful.

Language of Lorca and Cervantes

Spanish sounds beautiful, it is melodic and easy to learn. The spelling and pronunciation are almost identical, it is quite easy to learn it on your own at the level of a tourist. In everyday speech, the Spaniards use about 700-1000 words, of which about 150-200 are verbs. And for tourist purposes, in order not to get lost in the cities of Spain or to understand airport employees, about 100 phrases consisting of 300-350 words are enough.

They are conditionally divided into several groups: words of gratitude and phrases for polite communication, in a restaurant, airport and on the road. You will also need numbers, pronouns and the most popular verbs, designations of directions and names of places, days of the week and time. And also you need to learn the words necessary in difficult and dangerous situations, ask for help or help passers-by.

Sound and pronunciation in Spanish

To speak Spanish, start learning with the basics - phonetics and the alphabet. The language has features and complexities. The Spanish alphabet is almost identical to the English one, with the exception of 1 detail - the letter "Ñ" is added, it reads "n". Otherwise they are the same. Consider the details of the phonetic features of Spanish letters:

• at the beginning of the word, the letter "H" is not pronounced, in the word "Hola!" (hello), it is pronounced "Ola" with the removal of the first vowel;
• in classical Spanish, the letter "C" is often pronounced with a whistle, somewhat similar to the English combination "th";
• the letter "E" is read "E", at this moment foreigners are strongly audible;
• the letter "L" in Spanish is soft;
• basically, words are read as they are written, there are exceptions, but they are few;
• stresses are placed according to the rules, unlike the Russian language - at the end of the word there is a consonant letter (except N and S), then the stress is on the last syllable, a vowel or the letters N and S, then on the penultimate one;
• the letter "C" is read "K" in combination with the vowels a, o, u; and "C" - with the letters e, i;
• the letter "G" is read "G" in combination with a, o, u; and with the letters e, i - pronounced "X";

• special combinations "GUE", "GUI" are read as "Ge" and "Gi", and "QUE" and "QUI" - as "Ke" and "Ki";
• the letter "V" is pronounced as the average between "c" and "b";
• the letters "S" and "Z" are read like the Russian "C", and in Spain it is pronounced like "ts".

These features are easy to remember, otherwise the languages ​​are similar and it is not difficult for Russians to learn Spanish and speak it understandably for the natives of Spain.

The difficulty lies in the first 2-3 months of training, when pronunciation is set, at this time it is better to study with a teacher. You can independently instill the wrong sound of some words and combinations of letters, then it is difficult to relearn.

How to learn a foreign language?

Regardless of the country and language, its study should contain certain points and stages, then memorization and understanding will be achieved to the right extent. You can’t learn sentences without knowing how to pronounce individual words, and you can’t start talking without gaining basic knowledge in building phrases. It is best to do everything gradually, including all stages:

• setting pronunciation, learning basic words and sounds - here you can get a dictionary where new phrases and expressions are recorded with transcription and translation;

• solving and performing exercises on phonetics and spelling;
• writing words and expressions to consolidate knowledge with mechanical memory;
• listening to music and watching films in Spanish with subtitles;
• reading books by Spanish authors and translating them - start with simple children's stories familiar to you from childhood, then move on to more complex ones;
• communication with native speakers in chat, social networks, language centers, trips to a Spanish-speaking country.

Skipping any of the stages will negatively affect the speed and completeness of language learning, it is better if everything is in the complex. Communication in Spanish will allow you to put together all the knowledge you have gained and try to reproduce the phrases so that you are understood. This is an opportunity to hear and try to understand real Spanish, because it is very different from the book.

Words of welcome and phrases of gratitude

First of all, write down the words of greeting and farewell in your dictionary, they are the basis for any language and for communication in any country. Spain is no exception, here everyone politely greets in shops, cafes, when meeting acquaintances and friends. As in Russian, in Spanish there are several options for phrases for varying degrees of "kinship" with the interlocutor.

When meeting a friend and well-known peer, you can say ¡Hola! (Ola!) - Hello! But to a stranger or an adult interlocutor they say ¡Buenos días! (Buenos dias!), ¡Buenas tardes! (Buenos tardes!) or ¡Buenas noches! (Buenos noches!), Which translates accordingly to "Good morning/afternoon/night!".

Usually after the greeting I add a polite question “How are you?” or its variations, which do not talk about their problems, just say “Okay! And how are you?" It sounds like this:

¿Que tal? ke tal How are you?
¿Como estas? komo estás How are you?

These two phrases can be used to communicate with an acquaintance or friend, but to a stranger or group of people you should say:

¿Como está? komo está How are you? (if the person is alone), or
¿Como estan? komo estan How are you? (if you are talking to a group of people).

The answer options again depend on the interlocutor:

Bien, ¿y tu? [bean, and tu] Okay, how about you? - so you can say to a friend, but in other options you need this wording:

Bien, gracias ¿y Usted? [bian, grácias and ust] OK, thank you! And you?

In addition to standard greetings, you can use or hear the following phrases: ¿Qué tal la vida/ el trabajo/ la familia/ los estudios? (que tal la vida/el trabajo/la familia/los estudios), which means – How is your life/work/family/study?

In response to these phrases, you can answer the standard “Bien!”, Or you can diversify communication:

• ¡Excellent! (excellent) Excellent!
• ¡Muy bien! (mui bian) Very good!
• Mas o menos. (mas o manos) More or less.
• Regular. (rregular) Fine.
• Mal. (mal) Bad.
• Muymal. (mui mal) Very bad.
• fatal. (fatal) Terrible.

But after these phrases, polite Spaniards will start asking questions and demanding details, if you are not ready for this, then limit yourself to the standard wording.

You can say goodbye or wish a good day with a famous phrase

• "¡Chao! (chao) Bye!” or “¡Adios! (adyos) Bye! Goodbye!" if the interlocutors are older than you or unfamiliar, then it is better to choose one of these:

• ¡Hasta luego! asta luego Goodbye!
• ¡Hasta pronto! asta pronto See you soon!
• ¡Hasta mañana! asta manana See you tomorrow!
• Nos vemos. nos vemos See you soon! See you.

If suddenly you are faced with a complete misunderstanding of the interlocutor, then you can tell him about it in the following words:

• No entiendo But entiendo I don't understand.
• Mas despacio, por favor. Mas despacio, por favor Could you speak slower?
• No comprendo. But comprendo I don't understand.

These words are quite enough to look like a polite person when communicating with residents in the cities of Spain. With difficulties in understanding, you can switch to English, if it is easier for you to select phrases in this language, besides, you can meet Russian-speaking people, there are a lot of them in all countries of Europe and Latin America.

The right words if you don't know the way

The Spaniards are quite responsive and will gladly show the way to the tourist, but you should know how to ask her and what they can answer you. In order not to memorize complex phrases and phrases, 3 options are enough and you will be understood:

Where is…

I need…

For example, you need to ask for directions to a bank or a hotel, you can ask a question like this:

• ¿Dónde está la calle/un banco/un hotel? (Dongde esta la saye/un banko/un hotel?) – Where is the street/bank/hotel?
• Yo necesito la estación de ferrocarril. (yo nesesito la estacion de ferrocarril) - I need a train station.

Other options that you can use to find the road:

¿Como llego a…? - How can I get to…?
¿Qué tan lejos es…? - How far is...?

In response, they may offer you a map or show you the direction, or they may explain in detail how to get there and where to turn, for this the following expressions are used:

• Right side, to the right (a la derecha) a la derecha;
• Left side, to the left (a la izquierda) a la izquierda;
• Straight ahead (derecho) derecho;
• On the corner (en la esquina) en la esquina;
• Far (Lehos) Lejos;
• Near/near (Sirka) Cerca;
• One/two/three/four blocks (a una cuadra/a dos,/tres/cuatro cuadras) a una cuadra/a dos/tres/cuatro cuadras

Even if you do not understand the Spanish answer well, you can ask to repeat it again or say that you do not understand. As a rule, they will be happy to draw a map, guide you to a place or explain in more detail and more clearly.

In Spain, they treat tourists well and are happy when you manage to pronounce words correctly. They will help you on the street and in the store, and the police officers, while on duty, also take you to the right place.

Phrases for emergency situations

Unforeseen situations can happen to anyone, no one is immune from this. Help may be needed by you or your friends, as well as a person on the street. You don't walk past people in trouble just because you don't know how to call a doctor in Spanish, do you? Traveling with children often requires a quick response to the situation and finding the right phrase in a phrasebook or online translator will make it very difficult to solve the problem. What are the basic phrases you may need to find help:

• ¡Ayudame! (Ayudame!) Help me!
• Help! (Socorro!) Socorro!
• Stop! (stop!) (Pare!) Pare!
• Necesito un doctor/ dentista/ oficial de policia. - I need a doctor / dentist / policeman.
• ¿Hay una farmacía cerca? - Is there a pharmacy nearby?
• ¿Puedo utilizar su telefono? - Can I use your phone?
• ¡Llame a la policia/ambulancia/los bomberos! (Yame a-lapolisia/a-unambulancia/a-los bomberos!) - Call the police/ambulance/firefighters!
• Fire! (fuego) Fuego!
• I'm lost. (me e perdido) Me he perdido.

These phrases will be enough to ask for help from passers-by in an emergency. If you know them by heart, then perhaps this will save someone's life or health and make your trip much calmer and safer.

As a conclusion!

Spanish is a beautiful, sonorous and musical language, it is pleasant and easy to learn it. Phrases for tourists are just the beginning, the tip of the iceberg, and a real understanding of this music will come after a year or two of mastering it. When you can understand the interlocutor, and not guess by gestures what they told you, when you can watch Spanish films without subtitles and translation, then you can already confidently go to a foreign country and enjoy its culture and inner world.

Where can you learn Spanish:

1. Language schools, courses and individual lessons with a teacher are the most popular way and the most productive.
2. Online programs and smartphone apps for self-study are long and require self-discipline.
3. Video and audio lessons, exercises and tasks in the network and books - will require specialist correction or help at the initial level.
4. Visiting a country or communicating with native speakers is fast, but it will only give you spoken language, they will not teach you to read and write there.

If learning Spanish is your dream, then supplement your studies with reading the history of the country, books by national authors, searching for information about its culture and features. Then the picture will be more complete. If you need a language to get the job done, deepen your study of technical knowledge, specialized words. To do this, you will need special literature, magazines, newspapers, websites and blogs on the topics you need, and you should start studying them only after you have completed the basic part.

Classes can take from six months to infinity, depending on the intensity and density of classes, the degree of immersion in learning, repetition of acquired knowledge and the addition of new words and phrases.

1. Basic Spanish Phrases - General Rules

Never hesitate to speak Spanish with Spaniards, even if your knowledge of the language is reduced to a primitive minimum. Even simple words "hello-bye" or "how are you, friend" will be enough to win over the Spaniards. Remember that in Spanish there is no reduction of sounds, i.e. All vowels must be pronounced clearly, whether they are stressed or not. Otherwise, you may not be understood or understood differently than you would like.

• Also remember that the sound of the letter "H" (ache) in Spanish is not pronounced. For example, the greeting hola is pronounced "ola".
• The letter v in Spanish is read as "b", or rather something in between "b" and "c".

• por favor ("por favor")- please. Any request of a well-mannered person by Spanish standards of etiquette should be accompanied by this phrase.

Spanish for tourists. Useful phrases from everyday life:

Content:

The most common response in Spain to "thank you" is "de nada," which means "please" or "not at all." But there are several other different phrases that are used in the same context in different situations. We will tell you about when, to whom and how to say "please".

Steps

1 Standard "Please"

1. 1 Say "de nada". This is the most popular expression that is used as a response to gratitude.
   • Actually, it literally translates as "not at all."
   • De this is a preposition that is translated in different ways, depending on the context, in this case it is translated as "for".
   • Nada is a noun that translates as "nothing".
   • The most literal translation of this phrase is "for nothing."
   • There is no verb in this phrase. Therefore, there is no feminine and masculine gender.
2. 2 You can also say "por nada. This phrase is not used very often. Por nada is another variation of "please" or "no way".
   • Verbatim por nada so it translates: It's my pleasure. in spanish por this is a preposition that also translates as "for".
   • This phrase is not used in all Spanish-speaking countries. It is used mainly in Latin American countries such as Costa Rica and Puerto Rico, but not in Spain.
3. 3 Say "no es nada". It means "no problem".
   • Es- verb form ser which means "to be".
   • In Spanish, the double negative is used to reinforce the negative. Saying "Es nada" is wrong. The “no” particle is required here.

2 How to say "With pleasure"

1. 1 Say "con gusto". Literally, this phrase translates as "with pleasure."
   • Con translates as from.
   • Noun gusto translates as "pleasure".
2. 2 Say "much gusto". It means "with great pleasure".
   • Mucho translates as "many".
   • This phrase is used if you have just been introduced to a new person, for example. Sometimes it is used as a response to gratitude. It's kind of like "nothing". If you want to say "please" in response to "thank you", use the phrase "con mucho gusto".
3. 3 Say "es mi placer". It means "to my pleasure".
   • Es is the form of the verb ser, the verb "to be". It is used for the third person singular.
   • Mi means "mine".
   • Placer it's a pleasure".
   • You can just say “un placer,” or “a pleasure,” which means that you enjoyed helping the person who is now thanking you.
4. 4 Say "el placer es mio." The phrase translates as: "For my pleasure."
   • This phrase can be used when you are introduced to a new person. If someone says “mucho gusto,” which roughly means “nice to meet you,” answer them “el placer es mio,” which literally means “and I’m even nicer.”
   • Mio means "mine."
5. 5 You can answer “encantado.” The word translates as “Very happy” or “I am very pleased.”

3 Other options

1. 1 Say "no hay de que." Literal translation: "There's nothing to thank me for."
   • Hay not translated in this context, but no hay means "no".
   • Que translates as "what."
2. 2 Answer “no tiene importancia.” Literally, this phrase translates as “It doesn’t matter at all.”
   • Tiene it is a form of the verb “tener,” which means “to have,” in the third person singular.
   • importancia means "important."
   • This means that it was not at all difficult for you to help a person, and there is nothing to thank you for.

• There is no literal translation of the word “please” as an answer to “thank you” in Spanish. por favor this is a literal translation of the word "please", but it cannot be used in this situation, as a response to gratitude.

Russian-Spanish phrasebook: how to explain yourself in an unfamiliar country. Popular phrases and expressions for travelers.

• Tours for the New Year to Spain
• Hot tours around the world

Spanish or Castilian (español, castellano) is the third most popular language in the world, an Ibero-Romance language that originated in the medieval kingdom of Castile. Spanish is spoken by about 500 million people in more than 40 countries around the world.

They say that Spanish is easy enough to learn, it has about 60% Anglo-Saxon roots. Spanish words are read exactly as they are written and vowels are never reduced, that is, they do not change their sound.

Knowledge of Spanish is extremely beneficial, knowing the basics of this sunny language, you can understand several other foreign languages ​​​​at once: for example, Portuguese (a little more lisping), Italian, and even a little French.

For the Russian ear in Spanish there are many words that cause at least a smile. For example, "uevo duro" is nothing more than "boiled egg". A, sorry, "black trach" - "black suit". And in Spanish, charming punctuation marks are exclamatory and interrogative. They are necessarily placed at the beginning and at the end of the sentence, and in the first case - upside down.
- Like this?
- That's how!
