How about taking Spanish classes?
What do you say when you don't understand something?
Learning a language can feel daunting, especially at the beginning! We often struggle to express even simple ideas or ask for help. That can make us feel shy or nervous, but don't worry you're not alone!
To help you gain confidence in your Spanish class, I’ve put together 15 essential phrases you can use to communicate. These phrases will help you ask questions and understand instructions; especially in an online Spanish class!

«Hola, me llamo [tu nombre]. Encantado de conocerte».
→ Use this to introduce yourself politely in class.
Being Late
