I Want To Learn Basic Spanish Words And I Want To Learn Them Now
I had a friend that was getting relocated for his job and just his luck he was getting relocated to another country and it happened to be a Spanish speaking country and he does not speak a word of Spanish so he marched into the local bookstore and announced "I want to learn basic Spanish words."
Of course he will need to learn a lot more than basic Spanish words but for his initial trip over there his announcement of " I want to learn basic Spanish words" indicated that he knew he had quite a climb ahead of him. Learning any new language is difficult and just saying I want to learn basic Spanish words is not enough, you have to arm yourself with the right tools and then know what basic things you need to know in order to communicate with people in a Spanish speaking country. There is a lot to learn but when you start with that basic commitment of I want to learn basic Spanish words then you are at least starting on a path that will take you to where you need to be.
Basic words in any language are probably best used in basic phrases. When you say I want to learn basic Spanish words then you are saying that you want to learn things like "hello," "thank you," "please," and "I have no idea." But being able to form those basic words into basic phrases is very important to effective communication and when say I want to learn basic Spanish words then you need to take the time to not only learn the words but also learn how they interact with each other when forming a sentence.
Lucky For You
Spanish is often said to be one of the easiest languages to learn because the structure of the language is so basic and fits together so well. If English is your native language then you are more apt to be able to learn Spanish at a basic level quickly because the word for word learning curve for English to Spanish is usually one to one. In other words there is a direct translation from English to Spanish for many words where as some other languages may have several words to go with one English word. Spanish is less confusing for English speaking people to learn.
My friend learned his basic Spanish and then took the new job overseas. He is pretty happy after a couple of years but I am noticing that his English is getting worse. I guess that is life.
