777 Common Spanish Phrases

777 Common Spanish Phrases

This “Common Spanish Phrases” book is designed to create familiarity with what we will hear most frequently in basic Spanish conversation.  This starts with the simplest phrases like ‘Hello, how are you’ and steadily becomes more complex.  The organization is alphabetically and includes about one hundred of the words we use the most frequently.

We created this ‘Common Spanish Phrases’ book from my personal notes, which evolved into a study sheet, based upon hits and corrections that Catherine was giving me.  At first, I was writing down a few words here and there. Then the process became fun. The second reason is that it is a great way to practice words & phrases that I do not normally use when conversing with Catherine in Spanish.

Eventually, we got the bright idea to look up the most commonly used phrases and stick them into the list too.  That evolved into looking for a way to record this text and make it into an audio recording.

When having that fun it helps to increase my learning and retention speed.  This is not the only way to learn, but it helps me.
