- If you are asked “how are you?”, answer “ok, thank you” - “Bien, gracias”(bien, gracias) because you are also a polite person.
- Never forget the key words: please - por favor(por favor) - and thank you - gracias(gracias).
- When you introduce yourself to someone, you say “Mucho gusto”(mucho thick), and you will hear the same thing in response. It means "nice to meet you."
- If you suddenly hit an insurmountable language barrier, switch to universal English, just make sure from your interlocutor: ¿Habla ingles?(abla ingles)? - Do you speak English?
Useful basic vocabulary
IN everyday communication Even the simplest words and phrases to remember will be of great use to you. You can always use “I want”, “I like”, “Do you have...?”, and if you don’t know how to complete a phrase (for example, you can’t remember the right noun), just point to the item.
- I want, I don't want - Yo quiero, yo no quiero(yo kyero, yo no kyero)
- I would like (more politely) - Me gustaria(me gustaria)
- Where is? – What do you think?(donde esta)?
- What is the price? – ¿Cuánto cuesta?(cuanto cuesta)?

- I understand, I don't understand - Yo entiendo, yo no entiendo(yo entiendo, yo no entiendo)
- You understand - ¿Entiende?(entiende)?
Simple verb forms: where is, I want, I need
You can express many thoughts and requests using simple shapes verbs. The important thing is that you can say a variety of things by using “I want,” “I need,” “I can,” “I could,” or “where is,” and then simply adding a noun. It may not be so easy for you, but you will definitely be understood.
- I want a ticket to a hotel, a taxi - Yo quiero un boleto, un hotel, un taxi(yo kyero un boleto, un hotel, un taxi)
How do I get there?
If you're a little lost or unsure of how to get somewhere, you need a few simple phrases to help you find the right path. "Where is?" in Spanish it sounds like “¿dónde está?” (donde esta?), let's look at this question in action based on a few examples:
- Where is the railway station? – ¿Dónde está la estación de ferrocarril?(donde esta la estacion de ferrocarril) or “autobuses” (autobuses).
- Where is the restaurant? – How about a restaurant?(donde esta un restaurante)?
- Train? – ¿Un tren?(un tren)?

- I want a hotel, I want a hotel with a bathroom - Yo quiero un hotel, yo quiero un hotel con baño(yo kyero un hotel, yo kyero un hotel kon banyo)
- I need - Yo necesito(yo neseshito). A very useful phrase, just add a noun:
Yo necesito un hotel, un cuarto, un cuarto con baño– (yo neseshito un hotel, un cuarto son banyo) - Where is the exchange office located? where is the bank located? – ¿Dónde está una casa de cambio?(donde esta una casa de cambio);
How about it?(donde esta el banco)? - Money – Dinero (dinero).
Driving directions
Once you ask a question about how to get somewhere, you will hear the answer in Spanish. Remember some simple instructions in Spanish that someone might give you, such as telling you to turn right or left or to go straight ahead. Listen to these keywords:
- Right side - a la derecha(a la derecha)
- Left-hand side - a la izquierda(a la izquierda)
- Straight ahead - derecho(derecho)
- On the corner - en la esquina(en la esquina)
- In one, two, three, four blocks - a una cuadra, a dos, tres, cuatro cuadras– (a una cuadra, a dos, tres, cuatro cuadras)
At a restaurant: what do you want to eat or drink?
These are probably the phrases you'll need most when you're in a restaurant. Order something using something you already know "quiero"(quiero) or "quisiera"(kissier) – “I want” or “I would like.” And don't forget to talk “por favor” And "gracias"!

You may ask if they accept credit card, – una tarjeta de credito(una tarheta de credito). If you have questions, you can always use nouns as a question. For example, you can take out a credit card and ask ¿Tarjeta de credito? They will understand.
- Universal word: No funciona(but functional) – no, it doesn’t work. You can use this in many other circumstances. Just point to a shower or something and say: “¡No funciona!”
- Practice saying everything out loud, so, firstly, you will remember some phrases without having to “peep” them, and secondly, you will learn to pronounce them quickly and, at the same time, smoothly. Simple listening talking man will also help you understand people.
- Take a small pocket dictionary with you. Of course, you don't want to look for the right verb conjugation in the middle of a conversation, but you will always find the right noun quickly. Download this dictionary before your trip, it will definitely come in handy more than once.

P.S. You will learn more useful phrases in the online course.
We have compiled the Spanish phrasebook for tourists so that you can use simple combinations of words to create a simple question and understand a simple answer. With the help of our phrasebook you will not be able to participate in a philosophical discussion or discuss an event.
In our Russian- spanish phrasebook, intended for tourists, we collected those words and expressions that we ourselves used. Only what is needed for communication.
Hasta la vista, baby!
I’ll say right away that Galya and I don’t speak Spanish, only spoken English. But before the trip, as always, we learned phrases that help simple communications.
Of course, we knew some things. Among these well-known phrases were the famous words: “Hasta la vista, baby.” Naively, we believed that this was a common farewell. Many Spanish phrasebooks we found on the Internet reported that “Hasta la vista” means “goodbye.”
Naturally, we used our knowledge of Spanish at the first opportunity. Imagine our surprise when the owner of the house in Santander where we booked a nice little room on the second floor, he turned pale and worried. We were going for a walk around the city and said goodbye to it in the way we know - “Hasta la vista”. Instead of “baby,” we naturally inserted his name.
Deciding that our pronunciation was not clear enough, we said our goodbyes in unison once again. This time more clearly and loudly, so that the Spaniard would understand us for sure.
He was stunned and began to ask what we didn’t like so much about his house. I had to resort to the application described above.
We soon learned that we were saying goodbye to the owner forever. He decided that we would not return again...
Conclusion: Spaniards almost never use this phrase. So much for “goodbye”! Just say: “Adios!” And, of course, smile)
Another useful word, which we often heard from the Spaniards when they asked how to get to a boring place, this is “rotonda”.
Rotunda is a place on the road where a circular turn is made. In our country, intersections are more common, while in Spain, roundabouts are more common (this way they get rid of unnecessary traffic lights). Naturally, it is more convenient to indicate the direction in which Galya and I are moving from some point. In 80% it was a rotunda (circle).
It must be said that even with a city map in hand, it is not easy to navigate in Spain, because... they very rarely write street names on houses. The most convenient in this regard is Germany. In Germany, street names are on each post and indicate the direction.
Check . You need to know at least a little about the names of the numbers. It is better to have a notepad and pen on hand. When you buy something, calmly ask them to write down the price in a notebook.
The phrase helps: “speak more slowly, I don’t understand Spanish well.”
Another personal observation. In Russia we often turn to strangers with the words: “Excuse me, ... or Excuse me, please, how to get through...” In Spanish, the word por favor (por favor) - please is recommended to be used before addressing. For example, on the street. “Por favor (please, in our sense of “excuse me please”), and then the question is how to get to Torres Street (for example).
We noticed that almost all Spaniards exclaim “¡Hola!” to attract attention (greet). (Ola). But beggars and beggars pronounce “porfavor” when addressing them. Maybe Galya and I came across such polite beggars, maybe we were just lucky and it was an accident, but we decided to say the word “por favor” in specific situations - in a store or in personal communication, already in the process of communication, and on the street to address people with the greeting “¡Hola!” But this is solely our observation.

Example dialogue in Spanish
Of course, during a conversation it’s inconvenient to get into a phrasebook and read. Some words are worth learning. You can prepare questions in a notepad. As a last resort, you can point your finger at a printed phrasebook.
Here is an example of a dialogue compiled from this phrasebook:
— Ola (greeting)
- Me he perdido (I'm lost). Puede usted ayudarme? (could you help me?) Donde esta? (where is) La calle (street) …. Torres?
With the help of this phrasebook you asked a question. Now comes the most important part: understanding the answer.
1. Show a map of the city
2. If you don't have a map, take a notepad and pen
3. Don’t be shy about asking:
— ¿Podria usted hablar más despacio? (Could you speak more slowly). No comprendo! (I don't understand). Repitan por favor (please repeat). ¿Me lo puede escribir? (Can you write it? In our case, draw it).
1. Ask again and clarify:
- Lejos (far?) Todo recto (straight?) A la izquierda (to the left?) A la derecha (to the right?)
2. Watch your hands and facial expressions
3. At the end, don’t forget to say:
— Muchas gracias (thank you very much). Adios (goodbye!)
Before our trip to Spain, Galya and I watched the lessons

Sincerely,
Russian-Spanish phrasebook: how to communicate in an unfamiliar country. Popular phrases and expressions for travelers.
- Tours for the New Year to Spain
- Last minute tours Worldwide
Spanish or Castilian (español, castellano) is the third most popular language in the world, an Ibero-Romance language that originated in the medieval kingdom of Castile. Spanish is spoken by about 500 million people in more than 40 countries.
They say Spanish is quite easy to learn, with about 60% Anglo-Saxon roots. Spanish words are read exactly the same as they are written and vowels are never reduced, that is, they do not change their sound.
Knowledge of Spanish is extremely beneficial; knowing the basics of this sunny language, you can understand several other foreign languages quite well at once: for example, Portuguese (a little more lisping), Italian, and even a little French.
For the Russian ear, the Spanish language has many words that at least make you smile. For example, “huevo duro” is nothing more than “ boiled egg" Oh, excuse me, “fucking negro” means “black suit.” And in Spanish there are charming punctuation marks - exclamation and question marks. They are necessarily placed at the beginning and at the end of the sentence, and in the first case - upside down.
- Like this?
- And like this!
