Learn and Speak Spanish will help you do just that

Example from lesson 1: The Essential Basics

Click on the Green Spanish Words once to hear them spoken twice. Firstly very slowly with clarity and secondly at a more normal speed. The blue words show you how the words are spoken phonetically.

Example from lesson 5: Asking

You will be asking for much when you are in Italy and asking what you want so that you are understood is not difficult to learn.

Note how pizza changes to pizze because it has become a plural as you are asking for two pizzas. So the sentence you have just spoken is broken down as follows;

Possiamo avere due pizze   per favore
Can we     have    two pizzas  please

This same principal applies to other sentences, so you just change what it is you are asking for and the number required;

Possiamo avere quattro panini       per favore
Can we     have   four       breadrolls   please

Examples from lesson 8: The Cafe

There is nothing finer than sitting outside an Spanish café, indulging in an Spanish coffee and watching the world go by. So to help you get by in a café situation, we have developed this lesson in the order of the situations you would find yourself in when visiting a café.

You approach a café and see the waiter, and could say Hello, how are you?

You are likely to hear

You would normally reply

The word for beer in Spanish is birra and the word for coffee is caffe, so to say can we have a beer and a coffee please, you would say

By lesson 10, you will have learnt some great little inter-connecting words and will be able to say sentences such as;

Throughout the lessons Learn and Speak Spanish helps you to understand how the Spanish language is formed and how to make up sentences using verbs and words.

We make it easy for you by showing you exactly what each word in a sentence means so that you can use those words again to make up your own sentences. You can take the lessons at your own pace, hear the words as they should be spoken, see the words written phonetically and download each lesson onto your computer to listen to again.

And by lesson 22, you will have learnt about

• The basics
• Plurals
• Asking for things
• Essential small words
• Verbs
• Time
• Small inter-connecting words
• Talking about yourself
• Hotels
• Taxis
• Trains
• Buses
• Planes
• Restaurant situations
• Getting around
• Shopping
• Putting it all together

And because Learn and Speak Spanish shows you what the individual words of each sentence mean, you will be able to make up many more sentences of your own from all of the words you have learnt.

Notice how Learn and Speak Spanish shows you what the words of each sentence mean, to help you understand how the Spanish language is formed.

Many other courses will tell you that Non parlo Spanisho means I don’t speak Spanish. Literally translated it doesn’t. The spanishs do not normally use the word don’t.

Literally translated it means:

This will help you with other sentences because if you want to say, I don’t eat meat, you will know not to say the word don’t, but say literally translated Not I eat meat

As you’ve already heard, Learn and Speak Spanish has a native Spanish, speak the words and sentences twice. Firstly very slowly and with clarity to enable you to hear how the words and sentences should be spoken and then at a more normal speed.

Learn and Speak Spanish consists of 22 manageable on-line lessons and allows you to download each lesson onto your computer, so that you can listen to the lesson again on a CD or mp3 player.
