Essential Spanish Phrases and Questions
Looking to speak Spanish as soon as possible? If you’re not a great fan of grammar and just want to dive in and start communicating straight away, then you’ve come to the right place. In this section on essential Spanish phrases we give you exactly the phrases and questions you’ll need to get by in either Spain or Spanish-speaking Latin America.
Situation-based classes
The section is divided into bite-sized classes which each look at a specific area of language. It is designed for people just starting out with Spanish, or those who already have a notion but are looking for practical Spanish phrases which they can actually use in real life.
Video and audio
Most of the classes are based around a video, where you’ll be able to not only listen to, but also see, our wonderful native Spanish speakers. Our presenters come from both Spain and Latin America, so you’ll hear a variety of different accents. Where no video is available (Those things are expensive!) you will, at least, have audio files to listen to.
