39 Spanish sentences that I used most frequently in South America

How many British I have never been to dealing with languages. It is not for a lack of experiments. Over the years I have made sporadic attempts to learn German, French, Greek and even Suaheli, nobody was very successful.

When I arrived in South America, I was a bit nervous. My lean Spanish consisted of a few words that I had learned from Spanish friends in London, and most of them would only be appropriate in a football game. Fortunately, I had Kia, whose Spanish is far more advanced than mine.

Of course I couldn't always rely on Kia. There were times when she was not by my side and what was more important, I didn't want to spend several months in South America without interacting with the people I met. I started to practice Spanish with the Duolingo language app, wrote down a few phases here and there and also tested them on unsuspecting waiters and hotel employees.

I soon learned that popular resources often do not prepare you for life in South America. While they clearly laid the basis for long -term learning, Spanish sentences such as "The girl drinks milk" and "The boy reads a book" does not with the sentences and words that I really needed every day.

I use the following sentences almost every day. They also helped bring a few basic verbs and their conjugations home. Four months later I feel much more comfortable with my Spanish. I will not discuss the failure of the global economy at morning coffee, but I can order my meals, reserve hotel rooms and come with one or two buses from A to B.

Of course, never forget to combine all of this with a friendly greeting (Hola, Como Esta, Que Tal) and a Por Favor, Muchas Gracias and a winning smile
