Spanish language for beginners self-instruction phrasebook. Basic phrases for greetings and farewells. Using tú and usted. Useful everyday phrases. Numerals in Spanish

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

The language of Lorca and Cervantes

The Spanish language sounds beautiful, is melodic and easy to learn. The spelling and pronunciation are almost identical; learning it yourself at the tourist level is quite simple. In everyday speech, Spaniards use approximately 700-1000 words, of which approximately 150-200 are verbs. And for tourism 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 conventionally 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, directions and names of places, days of the week and time. You also need to learn the words necessary in difficult and dangerous situations, ask for help or help passers-by.

Sounds and pronunciations in Spanish

To speak Spanish, start learning with the basics - phonetics and the alphabet. Language has its own peculiarities and complexities. The Spanish alphabet is almost identical to the English one, with the exception of 1 detail - the letter “Ñ” has been added, it is read “n”. Otherwise they are the same. Let's look at the details of the phonetic features of Spanish letters:

• at the beginning of a word the letter “H” is not pronounced, in the word “Hola!” (hello), it is pronounced “Ola” with the first vowel removed;
• in classical spanish 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 can be heard strongly;
• the letter "L" in Spanish is soft;
• Basically, words are read as they are written, there are exceptions, but they are few;
• stress is placed according to the rules, unlike the Russian language - at the end of the word there is a consonant letter (except for N and S), then the stress is on the last syllable, vowel or 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 "Г" 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” are read as “Ke” and “Ki”;
• the letter “V” is pronounced like the middle between “v” and “b”;
• the letters “S” and “Z” are read like the Russian “S”, and in Spain they are pronounced similar to “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 in a way that is understandable for the natives of Spain.

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

How to learn a foreign language?

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

• setting up pronunciation, studying basic words and sounds - here you can create 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 rote memory;
• listening to music and watching movies in Spanish with subtitles;
• reading books by Spanish authors and translating them - start with simple children's stories that are familiar to you from childhood, then move on to more complex ones;
• communication with native speakers in chat, in 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 a complex. Communicating in Spanish will allow you to collect all the knowledge you have acquired and try to reproduce phrases so that you are understood. This is an opportunity to hear and try to understand real Spanish speech, because it is very different from the book.

Words of greeting 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 greets politely in shops, cafes, and when meeting acquaintances and friends. As in Russian, Spanish has several variants of phrases for varying degrees"kinship" with the interlocutor.

When meeting a friend and a 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/day/night!”

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

What do you mean? ke tal How are you?
What do you think? komo estás How are you doing?

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

What do you think? komo está How are you doing? (if there is only one person), or
What's the point? komo estan How are you doing? (if you are addressing a group of people).

The answer options again depend on the interlocutor:

Bien, ¿y tú? [bean, and tu] Okay, what about you? - this is what you can say to a friend, but in other options you need the following wording:

Bien, gracias ¿y Usted? [been, gracias and ustet] Okay, thanks! 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/studies?

In response to these phrases, you can respond with the standard “Bien!”, or you can diversify your communication:

• ¡Excelente! (exelente) Great!
• ¡Muy bien! (muy bien) Very good!
• Más o menos. (mas o menos) More or less.
• Regular. (regular) Normal.
• Mal. (male) Bad.
• Muy mal. (muy mal) Very bad.
• Fatal. (fatal) Terrible.

But after these phrases, polite Spaniards will begin to ask questions and demand details; if you are not ready for this, then limit yourself to the standard wording.

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

• “¡Chao! (whao) Bye!” or “¡Adiós! (adós) 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 mañana See you tomorrow!
• Nos vemos. nose vemos See you later! See you.

If suddenly you are faced with a complete misunderstanding of your 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 more slowly?
• No comprendo. But comprendo I don't understand.

These words are enough to look like a polite person when communicating with residents in Spanish cities. If you have difficulty 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 give directions to a tourist, but you must know how to ask and what they can tell 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 directions to a bank or hotel, you can ask the question this way:

• ¿Dónde está la calle/un banco/un hotel? (Donde 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 station.

Other options that can be used to find the road:

¿Cómo llego a...? - How do 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; the following expressions are used for this:

• 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 (Lejos) Lejos;
• Near/near (Serca) Cerca;
• In one/two/three/four blocks (a una cuadra/a dos,/tres/cuatro cuadras) a una cuadra/a dos/tres/cuatro cuadras.

Even if you don't understand the Spanish answer well, you can ask to repeat it again or say that you don't 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 will also escort you to the right place.

Phrases for emergency situations

Unforeseen situations can happen to anyone, no one is immune from this. You or your friends, as well as a person on the street, may need help. You wouldn’t walk past people in trouble simply because you don’t know how to call a doctor in Spanish, would you? When traveling with children, a quick response to a situation is often required, and searching for the correct phrase in a phrasebook or online translator will make it very difficult to solve the problem. What basic phrases might you need to find help:

• ¡Ayúdame! (Ayudame!) Help me!
• Help! (Socorro!) Socorro!
• Stop! (Stop!) (Pare!) Pare!
• Necesito un doctor/ dentista/ official de police. - 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 policía/ ambulancia/ los bomberos! (Yame a-lapolicia/a-unambulansya/a-los-bomberos!) - Call the police/ambulance/fire department!
• Fire! (fuego) Fuego!
• I'm lost. (meh perdido) Me he perdido.

These phrases will be enough to ask passers-by for help in an emergency. If you know them by heart, it may 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; learning it is pleasant and easy. 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 your interlocutor, and not guess by gestures what they told you, when you can watch Spanish films without subtitles and translation, then you can confidently go to a foreign country and enjoy its culture and inner world.

Where you can learn Spanish:

1. Language schools, courses and individual sessions with a teacher is the most popular and most productive way.
2. Online programs and smartphone applications for self-study– long and requires self-discipline.
3. Video and audio lessons, exercises and assignments online and in books will require adjustments from a specialist or help at an entry-level level.
4. Visiting a country or communicating with native speakers is quick, but it will only give you spoken language; they won’t teach you how to read and write.

If learning Spanish is your dream, then supplement your studies by reading the history of the country, books by national authors, and searching for information about its culture and characteristics. Then the picture will be more complete. If you need a language to do work, then deepen your study with technical knowledge and specialized words. To do this, you will need special literature, magazines, newspapers, websites and blogs on necessary topics, and you should start studying them only after completing 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, repeating acquired knowledge and adding new words and phrases.

When planning a new trip, many of us think through the route in advance and try to answer the questions: “Where to go?”, “What to see?”, “Which restaurant to dine at?” Knowing the basics of Spanish will help you experience much more than just good food and beautiful sights.

Our Spanish expert - Natalia Volkova I have collected a selection of necessary phrases. Thanks to them, you will be able to deeply feel the atmosphere of this cheerful country and touch its Everyday life. In addition, it has long been known that most Spaniards do not speak English.

Even knowing such basic phrases as “¡Hola!” and “¿Cómo estás?” will help you feel more comfortable while traveling.

Learn to greet and say goodbye in Spanish

The simplest universal greeting ¡Hola! - Hello!

There are also phrases indicating the time of day, for example: ¡Buenos días! - Good morning! Good afternoon (can be heard from 6.00 to 12.00 noon), ¡Buenas tardes! - Good afternoon! (from 12.00 to 20.00) and ¡Buenas noches! - Good evening! (from about 20.00) with the same phrase the Spaniards wish " Good night!". The answer to these greetings can be a repetition of these phrases, or only part of them: ¡Buenas tardes! - ¡Buenas!
