You can always use “I want,” “I like,” “Do you have…?” and if you don’t know the noun, you can simply point at the object. Basic Spanish Vocabulary I want, I don’t want Yo quiero, yo no quiero (yoh kee ayr oh, yoh noh kee ayr oh) I would like (more polite) — Me gustaría (may goo stah ree ah) Where is — ¿Dónde está?

The fact of the matter is that you can say a lot using” I want,” “I need,” “I can,” “I may,” or “where is,” and then you just need to supply a noun. It may not be the sophisticated way you speak in English, but you will be understood. I want a ticket, a hotel, a taxi Yo quiero un boleto, un hotel, un taxi (yoh kee ayr oh oon boh lay toh, oon oh tayl, oon tahk see) Asking for Directions How do I get there from here? If you get a bit lost or unsure of how to get somewhere, you need some simple ways of finding how to find your way. “Where is” is the simplest way of asking. The phrase is “¿dónde está?” (dohn des tah) and here are some examples: Where is the train station (or bus station) ¿Dónde está la estación de ferrocarril? (dohn des tah la ays ta see ohn day fay roh cahr reel) or “autobuses” (ow toe boos ehs). Where is a restaurant? — ¿Dónde hay un restaurante? (dohn day eye oon rays tore rahn tay)?

(dohn days tah ayl bahn coh)? – Money — Dinero (dee nayr oh). Where is? The street … ? — ¿La calle … ? (lah cah yay)? Where is the bathroom? — ¿Dónde está el baño? (dohn days tah el ban yoh)? I’m looking for a hotel — Busco un hotel (yoh kee ayr oh oon oh tel) I need — Yo necesito (yoh nay say see toh). Very useful, and you can supply the noun. I need a hotel / a room / a room with a bathroom Yo necesito un hotel / un cuarto / un cuarto con baño (yoh nay say see toh oon oh tayl, oon cwar toh, oon cwar toh cohn ban yoh) — Where is?

Listen for these key words: Right — A la derecha (a lah day ray chah) Left — A la izquierda (ah lah eez kee ayr dah) Straight ahead — Derecho (Day ray choh) At the corner — En la esquina (a lah ays kee nah) In one, two, three, four blocks A una cuadra, a dos, tres, cuatro cuadras (a oona dohss, trayss, cwah troh cwah drahs) Directions Understanding Directions Probably the most useful phrases you will need are in a restaurant.
