Essential Vocabulary (El vocabulario esencial)
Here is a list of basic vocabulary themes you should master.
Greetings: Hola (Hello), Buenos días (Good morning), Adiós (Goodbye), Hasta luego (See you later).
en: These are the first words you learn to start a conversation.
Numbers 1-100: uno, dos, tres... cien.
en: Crucial for telling time, prices, and age.
Family: la familia - el padre (father), la madre (mother), el hermano (brother), la hermana (sister).
en: You use these to describe people.
School: el colegio - la clase (class), el profesor (teacher), el estudiante (student), el libro (book).
en: Vocabulary for your daily life at school.
Remember: In Spanish, nouns have a gender (masculine/feminine). The article (el/la) helps you know it.
Basic Grammar (Gramática básica)
Let's review the main grammar points.
The verb 'to be': There are two verbs: SER (for permanent traits) and ESTAR (for temporary states). Yo soy francés (I am French - origin). Yo estoy contento (I am happy - feeling).
en: This is a fundamental difference from English and French.
Present tense of regular verbs: -AR verbs (hablar/to speak): yo hablo, tú hablas, él/ella habla. -ER verbs (comer/to eat): yo como, tú comes. -IR verbs (vivir/to live): yo vivo, tú vives.
en: You conjugate verbs by removing the ending (-ar, -er, -ir) and adding the correct one for each subject.
Definite and indefinite articles: el/la/los/las (the), un/una/unos/unas (a/an/some).
en: They agree in gender and number with the noun.
The subject pronoun (yo, tú...) is often omitted because the verb ending indicates the person.
Useful Expressions (Expresiones útiles)
Memorize these common phrases for everyday situations.
¿Cómo te llamas? (What's your name?) Me llamo... (My name is...)
en: The basic way to introduce yourself.
¿Cuántos años tienes? (How old are you?) Tengo ... años. (I am ... years old.)
en: Use the verb TENER (to have) to express age.
¿De dónde eres? (Where are you from?) Soy de... (I am from...)
en: Use the verb SER for origin.
Me gusta / No me gusta... (I like / I don't like...)
en: A very common structure to express likes and dislikes.
'Gustar' works differently. It literally means 'to be pleasing to'. So 'Me gusta el fútbol' = Football is pleasing to me (I like football).

Questions fréquentes
Why are there two verbs for 'to be' in Spanish?
Because they express different things. SER is for identity, origin, time, and permanent characteristics. ESTAR is for location, feelings, and temporary conditions.
How do I know if a noun is masculine or feminine?
Generally, nouns ending in -o are masculine (el libro) and nouns ending in -a are feminine (la casa). But there are exceptions (el día, la mano), so it's best to learn the article with the noun.
Is Spanish conjugation very difficult?
It has rules! For regular verbs, it's very logical. Start by mastering the present tense of regular -AR, -ER, -IR verbs. Practice with common verbs like hablar, comer, and vivir.
