My biggest challenges are getting the words in the right order as well as the right words. Also understanding what is said back to me. Thank you.
That’s a common challenge.
The most important thing is not to freak out and take control of the conversation.
It is up to you to let the other person know where you are in terms of Spanish.
In order to help you feel more confident, you can memorize the following phrases in case you need them:
1- I don’t understand, can you repeat? I’m learning Spanish – No entiendo, ¿puede repetir por favor? Estoy aprendiendo español
2- Again please, I’m learning Spanish. – Otra vez por favor. Estoy aprendiendo español
3- Can you speak slower please? I’m learning Spanish. – ¿Puede hablar más lento por favor? Estoy aprendiendo español
Keep up the good work!
¡Saludos!
I hope it’s useful =)
I’m turning 80 (!) in a week, and several months ago, I decided to try to learn Spanish. I had two reasons: to exercise my brain and to make my trips to Mexico more enjoyable. I’ve been using Duolingo, and it’s good, but I have now discovered you. YOU AND YOUR LESSONS ARE TERRIFIC. Today, I listened to the lesson on pronouncing the spanish r. Almost at the beginning, I decided I didn’t need to go into such detail, and it was too hard for me, but it was still interesting.
Thank you again for your help in my quest to learn at least some Spanish!
I sincerely appreciate your kind words Monica. I’m happy the lessons are helpful.
¡Saludos! : )
