Starting to learn Spanish?
Here are the 5 phrases every beginner should know.
They’ll help you sound more natural, connect faster, and avoid awkward silences!

1. ¿Cómo estás? — How are you?

Friendly, safe, universal. A great way to start any conversation.

2. Me llamo… — My name is…

Break the ice and introduce yourself with confidence.

3. No entiendo — I don’t understand

You’ll use this often. It shows you’re trying — and that’s what matters.

4. ¿Dónde está el baño? — Where is the bathroom?

Practical? Yes. Life-saving? Also yes.

5. Gracias / Por favor / Perdón

Politeness travels across cultures. These 3 open many doors.
