Popular phrases in Spanish with translation

Learning basic phrases in Spanish is the key to a good start in your studies! From the first days, you will begin to build and understand simple dialogues.
"¡Hola!" - This is where your introduction to Spanish begins, and soon you will be using it every time you meet native speakers. To ensure that the conversation doesn't end with just a greeting, learn a few popular phrases in Spanish.

Why not simply take a dictionary and memorize it cover to cover? Well, you won't learn how to use Spanish words effectively that way, and that's why the efficiency of the "phrase-based" method is higher. Phrases in Spanish with translations are a tool for free communication.
For convenience, we have divided them into thematic groups:

  • Everyday words and expressions;
  • Introductions and meetings;
  • In the city;
  • Emergency situations.

To prevent the new vocabulary from saying "¡Adiós!", we have supplemented the article with simple exercises. Bookmark this page, and you can always come back and refresh your memory.
