Spanish for Beginners | 10 Must-Know Words & Phrases

[@theacondeify]

This is my favorite Learning Spanish channel. Direct to the points. No dead air. The teacher don't even stutter or stumble on his words. Clear, calming and charming voice.

[@GennyMikel]

@@IronMike-f8i I have to agree, because I once spoke to a Mexican fellow and he said learn from a Spanish person because otherwise you will make serious mistakes.

[@GennyMikel]

@IronMike-f8i Agreed

[@ivanking2466]

This is just what I needed. I know hundreds of Spanish words and listen to hours of conversations, but this is a game-changer for me.

I don't know Spanish.Where do I start?

[@J_Trask]

@@chadfolmar5900 I’ll get some flack, but Duolingo is a great resource when starting out, in order to get you interested in learning, and making time everyday to learn. On top of this I recommend listening to podcasts, and reading articles in Spanish, EVEN IF you don’t know the words. That’s not the point. Learning a language takes a lot of time. If you can dedicate 1-2 hours a day exposing yourself to comprehensible input, actively listening to what you’re hearing and reading, you will benefit greatly.

[@MadhuYadav-tc4xc]

It's very helpful sir you made learn us many useful verbs to speak in spanish easily

[@dro6619000]

Andrew, I believe your method of instruction most useful for the casual spanish student. If you start speaking you will make all kinds of mistakes but most Spanish speakers will help. GRAMMAR WILL FOLLOW SPEACH. I am 80 and just took up my hobby of learning a little Spanish. VOWEL PRONUNCIATION MOST IMPORTANT. I know very little Spanish but correct pronunciation of vowels is MOST IMPORTANT. Thank for your short posts.

[@johncraig8401]

Superb! I am JUST starting. I know English, French, Latin - but now live among Mexicans! THIS is the first really great video I have seen! I will keep watching more and more of them until I can read Don Quixote and 100 Years of Solitude!

¡Hola! Soy un hispanohablante nativo de España. 🇪🇸 Me encanta ver cómo otros aprenden el idioma de mi corazón, «el español ». Este profesor de español que no sé si es británico o australiano, enseña muy bien y con muy buena pronunciación. Cada día me convenzo de que no debo abandonar el idioma español, y ayudar a otros a aprender mi lengua materna.

Doing the vowels first is smart. This really helps me learn how to speak 🗣️ spanish😊!!

Awesome video for picking up the essentials! If you’re learning Spanish and want to see how these key words and phrases come to life in real (and funny) conversations, I’ve been creating short dialogues to make it easier and more fun.

Wow I'm loving your videos! Very helpful as I'm a native Spanish speaker trying to teach my language to my colleagues!

Ah sweet. I think non speakers of Spanish would pick up more if the Spanish speakers talk slower. But no criticism meant.

thank you so much sir im learning spanish from South Africa you are a real teacher

[@Lester-te3vb]

This is fantastic just what I needed. Have been trying to learn Spanish and this puts it all together. Thank you.

[@donaldkreher9957]

Brilliant. This is almost exactly the way I taught myself to learn languages. Typically I begin with a list of sounds with one word in the new language and an english word that both contain the sound and of course the meaning of the sound. With this list I get some vocabulary and the ability to pronounce what I read. What I lack is connectives, i.e how to put words together into sentences. Because I had learned french in school I keep mixing french into my spanish and have great trouble making spanish sentences. Your video has cleared up somethings for me. It is very helpful. I look forward to more.

[@noelbowerman1562]

Your manner of explanation is the best I've seen , I'm at the beginning of my Spanish journey , I'll be watching and practicing all your lessons.

[@martinhaughey3201]

Very clear Andrew and well structured. When you explained the importance of vowel sounds in Spanish with an Australian accent, it made me realise how vowels sounds in English are so variable. I am Scottish and pronounce vowels in English very different to you, although our vowels in Spanish would be the same. Thanks look forward to more!!

I have a new neighbor from the Domican Republic. Told her I was going to learn Spanish so I could talk to her. My son does quite a bit of buy/sell and he says he wants to learn Spanish, so it will help him in his business. Thank you!

[@melindamercier6811]

It’ll help, but you’ll also soon find that Dominican Spanish can be very difficult to understand if you’re used to hearing only neutral Mexican/LatinAm or Castilian Spanish. Not only due to the accent, but also the way words are shortened, the differences in words used and their meanings, and the speed at which the words are said. It’s fun though. Good luck to you!

I'm using an app called Linguitive and it got around 1000 words and about 100 phrases. Very intuitive for learning the basics. Also there are many useful suggestions and hints.

[@blakeweatherhead3152]

Hola Andrew! These are some very good basic Spanish words to know. Gracias! Can you please tell me, though, why you have chosen to use the masculine form of "this; este" rather than the neutral form "esto" for these phrases? It is my understanding that when we are referring to objects and/or places in general, we should use the neutral "esto". Por ejemplo: "¿Qué es esto?" pointing to an unknown object, or "¿Donde está esto?" pointing to a place on a map which we are trying to locate. Gracias, de nuevo!

[@realfastspanish]

Hola Blake, here in these example sentences, "este" is better for places e.g. "este (lugar)", "este (sitio)", and for objects, "este (objeto)". Natives will assume the words in brackets from context if we simply say "este".
