The Basics
In this lesson, we discuss some of the most popular basic words & phrases that are useful to add to your own vocabulary. We start with the absolute basics, and slowly but surely build our way up to more advanced topics, such as grammar & verb conjugation.
Even if you already know some Spanish, it is still important to take the time and study these words, because they form the foundational building blocks on which you can continue to add vocabulary & grammar. I recommend using a technique called ‘flashcards’ to learn these words & phrases, more about this in a later lesson!
