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 around the world.

They say that Spanish is easy enough to learn, it has about 60% Anglo-Saxon roots. Spanish words are read exactly as they are written and vowels are never reduced, that is, they do not change their sound.

Knowing the Spanish language is extremely beneficial, knowing the basics of this sunny language, you can understand several other foreign languages ​​​​at once: for example, Portuguese (a little more lisping), Italian, and even a little French.

For the Russian ear in Spanish there are many words that cause at least a smile. For example, "uevo duro" is nothing more than "boiled egg". And, excuse me, “Negro Trache” - “Black Costume”. And in Spanish, charming punctuation marks are exclamatory and interrogative. They are necessarily placed at the beginning and at the end of the sentence, and in the first case - upside down.

- And like this!

In the modern world, we can no longer imagine our life without virtual communication: Facebook, VK.com, Instagramm and other social networks have become an indispensable part of our everyday life. In social networks, we communicate, share news, meet and fall in love, and simply share our thoughts and experiences with friends and acquaintances.

We have compiled a Spanish tourist phrasebook so that you can use simple combinations of words to form 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 have collected those words and expressions that we ourselves used. Just what you need to communicate.

Hasta la vista, baby!

I must say right away that Galya and I do not speak Spanish, only spoken English. But before the trip, as always, we learned phrases that help simple communications.

Some, of course, we knew. Among such 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" is "goodbye."

Naturally, we applied our “knowledge of Spanish” at the first opportunity. Imagine our amazement when the owner of the house in Santander, where we booked a pretty room on the second floor, turned pale and agitated. We were going for a walk around the city and said goodbye to him in the way we know - "Hasta la vista". Instead of "baby" we, of course, inserted his name.

Deciding that our pronunciation was not clear enough, we once again said goodbye together. This time more clearly and loudly, so that the Spaniard understood us for sure.

He was stunned and began to ask what we did not like so much in his house. I had to resort to the application described above.

Soon we learned that we were saying goodbye to the owner forever. He decided that we would never return...

Conclusion: Spaniards almost never use this phrase. Here's "goodbye" to you! Just say "Adios!" And, of course, smile)

Another useful word that we often heard from the Spaniards when asked how to get to a boring place for us is “rotonda”.

Rotunda - a place on the road where a roundabout is made. We have more common intersections, and in Spain - roundabouts (thus 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).

I must say that even with a map of the city 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 every pole and with directions.

Check . You need to know at least a little the names of the numbers. It is best to have a notepad and pen handy. When you buy something, calmly ask to write down the cost in a notebook.

The phrase "speak slower, I don't understand Spanish well" helps.

Another personal observation. In Russia, we often turn to strangers with the words: “Excuse me ... or Excuse me, how can I get through ...” In Spanish, the word por favor (por favor) - please recommend using before contacting. For example, on the street. "Por favor (please, in our sense," excuse me please), and then the question is how to get to Torres Street (for example).

We have noticed that almost all Spaniards exclaim "¡Hola!" (Ola). But beggars and beggars, just addressing, pronounce "porfavor". Maybe Galya and I came across such polite beggars, maybe we were just lucky and this is an accident, but we decided to pronounce the word “por favor” in specific situations - in a store or in personal communication, already in the process of communication, and on the street turn to people with the greeting "¡Hola!" But this is only our observation.

Spanish Dialogue Example

Of course, during a conversation it is inconvenient to go into a phrasebook and read. Some words are worth learning. You can prepare questions in a notebook. In extreme cases, you can poke your finger into 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 this phrasebook you asked a question. Now the most important thing begins: you need to understand the answer.

1. Show the map of the city
2. If there is no map, take a notepad and a pen
3. Ask, feel free to:

— ¿Podria usted hablar más despacio? (Could you speak more slowly). No comprendo! (I don't understand). Repitan por favor (repeat please). ¿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 (left?) A la derecha (right?)

2. Watch your hands and facial expressions
3. At the end, do not forget to say:

Muchas gracias (thank you very much). Adios (goodbye!)
