Welcome to the first lesson!
On this page you will find a video that explains simple ways to greet customers in Spanish.
After the video, you will find a downloadable PDF transcript you can print so you can write notes (using as many colors as possible, of course!),
You will also find a downloadable Audio file in MP3 format you can save to your audio player or cell phone to practice on the go (while others listen to the radio, you can work on improving your Spanish!)

Hi good lesson thank you. I spend winters in the Canary Islands for health reasons and want to improve my Spanish.
I am Irish and speak fluent french and am Lear Spanish. I do get my French and Spanish confused?
Regards
Ben
Hi Ben,
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate your kind words.
If you already know some French you’ll find Spanish much easier because they do share many similarities. Even more so in terms of grammar structures and “thought patterns”
Because of this, your brain may mix them up at times, but this will only happen initially and as you continue to practice, you’ll be able to create mental associations between both languages.
For example, en français, “to sleep” is written “dormir” which is the same word in Spanish. So you already know lots of Spanish words that are similar to French!!
Let me know if you have questions. I’m happy to help.
¡Saludos Ben!
¡Hola soy Brandon!
Hablo inglés y un poco de español. Me gusta tus lecciones de español. I work as a digital Product Support specialist. Quiero saber más de español porque mi novia es mexicana y quiero entender más cuando estoy hablando con su familia. ¡Muchísimas gracias!
Gracias por tus amables palabras Brandon. ¡Sigue adelante! ¡Saludos!
I would say slow down a little bit, So saying it fast is fine as long as you repeat each phrase or word at a slower pace , when people talk to fast I fine it to be boring, because they are not thinking about me the learner just a sugestion
I sincerely appreciate your feedback Ronald. I will certainly keep it in mind. Thank you! It is appreciated!
