]]>Hello – Hola
Good morning/day – Buenos días
Yes – Sí
No – No
Thank you – Gracias
Please – Por favor
Goodbye – Adiós
Good night – Buenas noches
See you soon! – ¡Hasta pronto!
Where is the bathroom? – Dónde está el baño?
I don’t understand – Yo no entiendo
Do you speak English? – ¿Habla inglés?
Excuse me – Disculpe
The bill, please – La cuenta, por favor
I would like – Quisiera
Can you help me? – ¿Puede ayudarme?
How much is it? – ¿Cuanto cuesta?
While these words and phrases in and of themselves aren’t going to help you communicate easily and fluently with the locals when you visit Spanish-speaking countries, they are going to be a huge help with assisting you while getting around, ordering food and drinks, finding what you need, and having basic social interactions. So we recommend memorizing these before your next trip.

]]>If you want to learn a language that will help you communicate globally, here are your top options.
The most widely-spoken language in the world, with nearly 1.3 billion people around the world (nearly 17% of Earth’s population) speaking English as a first or second language. While it will obviously help you to communicate in places like the UK and the United States, its role as a global lingua franca will help you communicate with others around the world.
¿Hablas español? Thanks to a powerful empire hundreds of years ago, the country of Spain spread its native language across the Americas and into some parts of Asia and Africa. Mexico, Colombia, and Spain are now the most populated countries to speak this language.
The French language also has a large global expanse due to its colonial history. The native language of the world’s most-visited country, France, is also spoken throughout the Middle East and Africa to this day.
While Chinese might be contained to one geographical area in Asia, the sheer number of speakers of this language make it very useful for traveling. China is the world’s biggest country, and you’ll also find its language spoken in places like Taiwan and Malaysia.

]]>However, it’s good to move beyond your own borders, if possible, and learn other languages to help you communicate while traveling. Here are three other languages that are especially useful for travelers.
Spanish is a great language to learn, opening up the doors to a whole host of fascinating countries like Spain, Colombia, and Mexico. The language of Cervantes has almost 500 million native speakers (more than English!) and is one of the easiest languages for English speakers to learn.
Parlez-vous français? Another Romance language that is super useful for those who love to travel is French. Aside from endearing yourself to surly Parisian shopkeepers, you will also find yourself able to communicate with a wide variety of Africans, Europeans, and even some North Americans (hello, Quebec!) with French.
Arabic is a difficult language to learn, but knowledge of this Semitic language will open up all kinds of doors for you. Spoken all over North Africa and in the Middle East, knowledge of Arabic is a huge tool for travel.

]]>Although everyone in Spain speaks Spanish, you won’t necessarily hear them speaking it out on the street or in cafes. This is because there are many other official and unofficial languages in Spain, some that couldn’t be farther from Spanish.
For example, in Basque Country and parts of Navarre Basque is spoken, called Euskera in their native tongue. But, not even just one version of Euskera is spoken!
Throughout the regions, there is variation in many of the words so even then it can be difficult.
If you go across to country to the northwest region called Galicia, you can enjoy amazing seafood and hear their native tongue, Galician, or Galego.
In newer cities like Vigo, you won’t find it as often, but in the popular tourist town of Santiago de Compostela, you will find almost everyone exclusively speaking in Galego.
So make sure before you visit you brush up on tour Spanish and try to learn some basics of the other languages as well!
