Whenever you are listening to a lecture or having a discussion with your group, note down the important things, new words, or any such tips.
Do not shy away from speaking even if you may not be right.
Try to ask questions to your trainer, make a list of questions, do not keep a doubt to yourself. Discuss things with your friends, ask for their reviews, learn from them.
Initially, you may find it difficult, but slowly dedicate more time to practice. Revise whatever you have learned in the previous discussions or training. This will ensure you do not forget what you have learned but instead, you enhance your skill.

This amazing blog tells you how exactly to prepare a schedule for learning a new language!
No matter which language it is, we HAVE to start with the basics! If the base is strong, the foundation would automatically be stronger, right? So let’s try to master the basics of the language today.
I will list down a few common Spanish basics with their English conversions as well.
We will divide these tips into tasks so that it is easier for your kids to learn them systematically.
Task 1: To greet somebody in Spanish.
- Informally.
Hola – Hello
- Formally
Buenos Dias – Good Morning
Buenas noches – Good Evening
Buena Tarde – Good Afternoon
Now, how about asking their well-being? It is as important as a greeting. So we cover this in Task 1.
¿Cómo está usted?-How are you?
Cuidate- Take care
Also, it is good manners to thank the person who has asked about you. Right? So here we go.
Gracias – Thank you
And say welcome when that person has thanked you.
Bienvenidos- Welcome
And then bidding goodbye…
Chao – Goodbye
Que tenga un buen dia – Have a good day-
Hasta mañana-See you tomorrow
Hasta luego-See you later
Hasta pronto-See you soon
These were some of the basic greetings we use when we meet someone. The construction of the Spanish language is similar to English. These are the first set of words that kids must learn. Climb the ladder one step at a time. Once you know how to greet somebody you have met, it’s the first win. Hurray! Should I also tell you how to say hurrah in Spanish? Yes, I know you want to know. So,
Viva – hurray!
Okay, so we have completed task 1. Now it’s time for task 2. We go one step higher here. As it could be that when the person has asked how you are, and you are not well. Or if the person is not well. So here comes a twist we have to be ready for.
Task 2: when you/somebody isn’t well.
No estoy bien- I am not well
No Buena-Very bad
Por qué-Why?
Qué pasó-What happened?
Now our task 3 would cover the ‘golden words’. Do you know what are these golden words? Find it out in task 3.
Task 3: Golden words
Con permiso-Excuse me
Por favor-Please
Lo siento-Sorry
Gracias– Thank you
They are called golden words for a reason. We all should use these golden words.
Done with task 3. I hope you are enjoying it? Now for the next task, we will learn how to have a basic short conversation in Spanish and it would also be a summary of our 3 tasks.
Task 4: Basic conversation and summary.
Spanish: ¡Hola!
English: Hi

Spanish: Me llamo…
English: My name is …
Spanish: ¿De dónde es usted?
English: Where are you from?
Spanish: Yo soy de…
