Simple Spanish Phrases for the Necessities of Life
Being surrounded by a foreign language can be challenging, but learning how to speak in Spanish about the necessities of life – such as where to find a restroom, or tell someone you are hungry or thirsty – can make your experience a whole lot easier.
So let's get started with your free audio tutorial!
Make sure that you listen to this audio lesson in a place where you can speak aloud. Repeating the words aloud is an essential part of learning to speak Spanish.
Every time I tell you a word in Spanish, repeat the word aloud after me. Try to match my pronunciation as best you can. I will repeat the word after you so that you can hear the difference. You can then repeat the word again if you like before continuing.
