Beginner Spanish Phrases Every Traveler Needs to Know ✈️
Top Spanish Phrases for Travel
The Basics
When talking to a Spanish speaker, I recommend you start any
conversation by letting them know that you’re a beginner. This
way, they’ll be more likely to speak slowly, use gestures, or maybe
even find someone to help translate. You can use any of the
following phrases to let them know about your level.
No hablo español. - I don’t speak Spanish.
Solo hablo un poco de español. - I speak only a little Spanish.
¿Habla(s)* inglés? - Do you speak English?
Remember the H in Spanish is silent.
Basic Spanish CP 2 FORMAL AND INFORMAL GREETINGS/SALUDOS FORMALES E INFORMALES
* Add an s to turn this phrase into the informal version.
Greetings
Learning some basic Spanish greetings is important because you’ll
use them all the time. We have many different ways to say hello
and goodbye. These are some of the most common.
Hola - Hello
¿Qué tal? - How’s it going? – can use in formal or informal
¿Cómo está*? - How are you?
* Add an s to turn this phrase into the informal version or an n
when talking to 2 or more people.
Adiós. - Goodbye.
Hasta luego. - See you later.* - Not seeing the person again
* We say this even when we don’t intend to see the other person
again. For example, to a storekeeper or a waiter.
The following are used throughout the day and they both can be
used to say hello and goodbye.
Buenos días - Good morning (before 12 pm). Until noon
Buenas tardes - Good afternoon (from 12 pm until sunset). Noon
to 8pm
Buenas noches - Good evening/Good night (after sunset). 8pm to
bed
Being Polite
A lot of people from Latin America are really sensitive so we are
easily offended when others are too straightforward. I recommend
being as polite as possible and to use the following words to avoid
any misconceptions.
Por favor - Please
Gracias - Thank you
De nada - You are welcome – reply to thank you
Provecho - Enjoy your meal
Con permiso - Excuse me
Lo siento - I’m sorry** - when you do something wrong, you hear
something sad
Disculpe - Excuse me*** - if you want to ask for something.
* To ask permission to pass.
** To apologize when doing something wrong or hearing bad
news.
*** To get someone’s attention.
Express Understanding or Confusion
It’s important that you let the other person know when you don’t
quite understand what they’re saying so they can repeat it, maybe
more slowly or maybe using other words. This will help you
avoid any misunderstandings.
¿Cómo? – What was that? - When you want the other person to
repeat what they said.
¿Lo puede* repetir, por favor? - Can you repeat that, please?
¿Puede* hablar más despacio, por favor? - Could you please talk
more slowly?
Entiendo - I understand.
No entiendo - I don’t understand.
¿Qué significa eso? - What does that mean? – you do not know
meaning of a word.
Add an s to turn this phrase into the informal
version .
Shopping
Shopping is a must for many travelers, so here are some useful
phrases to help you make a purchase in Spanish.
¿Qué es esto? - What’s this?
¿Qué es eso? - What’s that?
¿Cuánto cuesta esto? - How much is this?
¿Cuánto es? - What’s the total?
I’ve known people that, to avoid struggling with numbers, pay
with a big bill without actually knowing the amount they’re
paying for. Doing this would put you in a position where you can
easily get ripped off. Instead, I suggest you ask the vendor to write
down the amount on your cellphone or on a piece of paper.
