The words that get you
through a trip to Spain

You don't need fluency to travel well — you need maybe two dozen words you'll reach for again and again. A small core of high-frequency words covers a surprising share of everyday situations.

Here's that survival kit, grouped by where you'll use it. Tap a card to flip it and reveal the meaning.

That's it — greetings, directions, ordering, and a few escape hatches for when you're stuck. Learn these cold and you can be polite, find your way, and order dinner. Everything else you can mime, point at, or look up.

Why learn just these few dozen words first?

A handful of words like tener (to have), querer (to want) and necesitar (to need) unlock dozens of sentences. Want a 10-minute drill to make these stick before your trip? Ask me in the chat.
