Spanish with Russian pronunciation. Useful Spanish Phrases: Travel Phrasebook. Numbers and numbers
We have compiled a Spanish tourist phrasebook so that you can use simple combinations of words to form a simple question and understand a simple answer. With the help of our phrasebook, you will not be able to participate in a philosophical discussion or discuss an event.
In our Russian-Spanish phrase book, intended for tourists, we have collected the words and expressions that we ourselves used. Just what you need to communicate.
Hasta la vista, baby!
I must say right away that Galya and I do not speak Spanish, only spoken English. But before the trip, as always, we learned phrases that help simple communications.
Some, of course, we knew. Among such well-known phrases were the famous words: “Hasta la vista, baby.” Naively, we believed that this was a common farewell. Many Spanish phrase books we found on the Internet reported that "Hasta la vista" is "goodbye."
Naturally, we applied our “knowledge of Spanish” at the first opportunity. Imagine our amazement when the owner of the house in Santander, where we booked a pretty room on the second floor, turned pale and agitated. We were going for a walk around the city and said goodbye to him in the way we know - "Hasta la vista". Instead of "baby" we, of course, inserted his name.
Deciding that our pronunciation was not clear enough, we once again said goodbye together. This time more clearly and loudly, so that the Spaniard understood us for sure.
He was stunned and began to ask what we did not like so much in his house. I had to resort to the application described above.
Soon we learned that we were saying goodbye to the owner forever. He decided that we would never return...
Conclusion: Spaniards almost never use this phrase. Here's "goodbye" to you! Just say "Adios!" And, of course, smile)
Another useful word that we often heard from the Spaniards when asked how to get to a boring place for us is “rotonda”.
Rotunda - a place on the road where a roundabout is made. We have more common intersections, and in Spain - roundabouts (thus they get rid of unnecessary traffic lights). Naturally, it is more convenient to indicate the direction in which Galya and I are moving from some point. In 80% it was a rotunda (circle).
I must say that even with a map of the city in hand, it is not easy to navigate in Spain, because. they very rarely write street names on houses. The most convenient in this regard is Germany. In Germany, street names are on every pole and with directions.
Check . You need to know at least a little the names of the numbers. It is best to have a notepad and pen handy. When you buy something, calmly ask to write down the cost in a notebook.
The phrase "speak slower, I don't understand Spanish well" helps.
Another personal observation. In Russia, we often turn to strangers with the words: “Excuse me ... or Excuse me, how can I get through ...” In Spanish, the word por favor (por favor) - please recommend using before contacting. For example, on the street. "Por favor (please, in our sense," excuse me please), and then the question is how to get to Torres Street (for example).
We have noticed that almost all Spaniards exclaim "¡Hola!" (Ola). But beggars and beggars, just addressing, pronounce "porfavor". Maybe Galya and I came across such polite beggars, maybe we were just lucky and this is an accident, but we decided to pronounce the word “por favor” in specific situations - in a store or in personal communication, already in the process of communication, and on the street turn to people with the greeting "¡Hola!" But this is only our observation.

Just in case, you should have a notepad on hand and write down the numbers, especially when it comes to payment. Write the amount, show, specify.
You can specify the numbers with the words:
| zero | cero | sero |
| one | uno | uno |
| two | dos | dos |
| three | tres | tres |
| four | cuatro | quattro |
| five | cinco | sinco |
| six | seis | seis |
| seven | siete | siete |
| eight | ocho | ocho |
| nine | new | Nueve |
| ten | diez | ten |
So, you can call your hotel room not 405 (four hundred and five), but by numbers: quattro, sero, cinco. You will be understood.

Spanish Dialogue Example
Of course, during a conversation it is inconvenient to go into a phrasebook and read. Some words are worth learning. You can prepare questions in a notebook. In extreme cases, you can poke your finger into a printed phrasebook.
Here is an example of a dialogue compiled from this phrase book:
- Ola (greeting)
- Me he perdido (I'm lost). Puede usted ayudarme? (could you help me?) Donde esta? (where is) La calle (street) …. Torres?
With this phrasebook you asked a question. Now the most important thing begins: you need to understand the answer.
1. Show the map of the city
2. If there is no map, take a notepad and a pen
3. Ask, feel free to:
— ¿Podria usted hablar más despacio? (Could you speak more slowly). No comprendo! (I don't understand). Repitan por favor (repeat please). ¿Me lo puede escribir? (Can you write it? In our case, draw it).
1. Ask again and clarify:
- Lejos (far?) Todo recto (straight?) A la izquierda (left?) A la derecha (right?)
2. Watch your hands and facial expressions
3. At the end, do not forget to say:
Muchas gracias (thank you very much). Adios (goodbye!)

(starting from 12.00 to 20.00) and ¡Buenas noches! - Good evening! (from about 20.00) with the same phrase, the Spaniards wish "Good night!". The answer to these greetings can be a repetition of these phrases, or only part of them: ¡Buenas tardes! - ¡Buenas!

Russian-Spanish phrasebook: how to explain yourself in an unfamiliar country. Popular phrases and expressions for travelers.
- Tours for May around the world
- Hot tours around the world
Spanish or Castilian (español, castellano) is the third most popular language in the world, an Ibero-Romance language that originated in the medieval kingdom of Castile. Spanish is spoken by about 500 million people in more than 40 countries around the world.
They say that Spanish is easy enough to learn, it has about 60% Anglo-Saxon roots. Spanish words are read exactly as they are written and vowels are never reduced, that is, they do not change their sound.
Knowledge of Spanish is extremely beneficial, knowing the basics of this sunny language, you can understand several others at once foreign languages: for example, Portuguese (a little more lisping), Italian, and even a little French.
For the Russian ear, there are many words in Spanish that cause at least a smile. For example, "huevo duro" is nothing more than "boiled egg". And, excuse me, “Negro Trache” - “Black Costume”. And in Spanish, charming punctuation marks are exclamatory and interrogative. They are necessarily placed at the beginning and at the end of the sentence, and in the first case - upside down.

Where and how to speak Spanish correctly?
Spanish is spoken by about 500 million people around the world. There are about 60 countries in the world with a significant Hispanic population, even America is a country where they speak spanish.
Spanish is one of the easiest languages to learn. Almost all the words in it are read as they are written with a few exceptions:
h - unreadable
ll - v is read as "y", but there are other national variants "l", "j"
y - reads like "y", and if used as a union, then "and"
j - reads like Russian "x"
z - like "c" ( Latin America) or English "th" (Spain)
ñ - softly read "n"
r - "rr" if it is at the beginning of a sentence or when there are two rr in a word
c - before a, o, u - as "to"; before e, i - like "c" (Latin America) or English "th" (Spain)
g - before i and e - like Russian "x", before the rest of the vowels "g".
The identity of the culture of the people is expressed in the dialect and language spoken by the population of the country. studying Russian-Spanish phrasebook, pay attention to our foreign phrasebooks for traveling to other foreign countries:
So now you know how to speak spanish correctly. We recommend that you print this with pronunciation and use it while traveling.
Currently, Spain is the country most frequently visited by Russian-speaking tourists. However, for some reason, the Spaniards are in no hurry to learn Russian, however, like English. In Barcelona, Madrid and major tourist cities it is quite possible to speak English, but if you want to see non-tourist Spain, be prepared for the fact that the locals will only speak Spanish. Apparently, therefore, most tourists either trustingly tie themselves to hotel Russian speaking guides, or constantly engaged in pantomime, communicating with the Spaniards :)
To make your stay more enjoyable and comfortable, try to memorize a few essential words and phrases in Spanish.
I want to warn you right away that Spanish may sound indecent for Russian speakers, but keep in mind that “h” is almost never read, two “ll” are read as “y”. For example,
- Huevo is Spanish for "webo" (egg)
- Huesos is read as "uEsos" (bones)
- Perdi - “perdI” (I lost) - from the verb perder (to lose)
- Dura - “fool” (lasts)
- Prohibir - “probIr” (prohibit)
- Debil - “debil” (weak) - often found on water bottles, means that the water is, for example, lightly carbonated.
- Llevar - “yebar” (to wear). Para llevar - "para yebar" (takeaway, for example, food in a takeaway cafe)
- Fallos - “fayOs” (errors)
So, let's go - the most useful words and phrases in Spanish!
Greetings, farewells in Spanish
In the photo: the faster you learn a few phrases in Spanish, the more pleasant you will be on vacation :)In Spain, to greet a person, you just need to call him Olya :)
It is written - Hola! Pronounced - a cross between "Ol I” and “Ol a”
A more formal greeting: “Good afternoon!” - Buenos dias! - pronounced "b" At enos d And ace”
Good evening! — Buenas Tardes! - “buenas tardes” - is always used in the afternoon.
Good night! — Buenas Nights! - "buenas noches" (night) - consumed after 19 hours.
To say goodbye, Spaniards rarely say the famous, thanks to Arnold Schwarzenegger, phrase “hasta la vista” (see you later). Most often they will say: “see you soon!” – Hasta luego! – “Asta luEgo”
Well, or they say “goodbye (those)” - Adios - “adyos”
Tell the interlocutor your name, for example: “my name is Anton” - Me llamo Anton - “me yamo Anton”
You can say where you are from: “I am Russian / Russian” - Soy ruso / rusa - “soy ruso / rusa”

Spaniards often respond to this: “everything is in order (nothing to worry about)!” - No pasa nada - “but pasa nada”
How to ask for directions in Spanish
To practice Spanish, ask the locals for directions Sometimes a tourist gets a little lost in the city. Then it's time to ask in Spanish:
where is…? – ?Donde esta…? – “Dongde estA?”
For example, if you are going to travel and can't find the bus station, learn the phrase in Spanish: "donde esta la parada de autobus?" Of course, a detailed answer in Spanish can be discouraging, but the Spaniard will most likely duplicate the direction with his hand :)

To the left - Izquierda - "Isquierda"
To the right - Derecha - "derEcha"
Straight - Recto - “recto”

We ask where is the Rambla - ?Donde esta la calle Rambla? – “donde esta la caye rambla?”
We ask where is the beach - ?Donde esta la playa? – “Donde estA la playa?”
You can search for the embassy of the Russian Federation - “Where is the embassy of Russia?” – ?Donde esta la embajada de Rusia? – “Donde estA la EmbahAda de Rusia?”
Another useful line: “Where is the toilet?” – ?Donde estan los aseos? – “donde estan los asEos?”
