Hello, now I'd like to talk to you about a number of expressions that we think might come in handy when you visit Spain or any other Spanish-speaking country. OK, so let's start. The first one is a greeting and to say what our name is.
So in Spanish we would say, Hola, me llamo Ana. Hola, me llamo Ana. The second expression is ¿Puede ayudarme, por favor?
Now imagine that you're in a tricky situation and that you need to ask somebody for help. This is what we would say ¿Puede ayudarme, por favor? The verb ayudar means to help and por favor, as you know, means please. So we could say ¿Puede ayudarme, por favor?
the next one that we've selected is me perdido now when do we do we say this we say this in case we get lost in a street or somewhere and we need to ask somebody to tell us how to get to a particular place we would say me perdido me perdido i'm lost okay Now, we may be in a situation where we need to ask where the toilet is. So, what would we say? We'd say, ¿Dónde está el baño? ¿Dónde está el baño? And we can add at the end the word, por favor, please.
¿Dónde está el baño? Por favor. Okay, and then they'd indicate where the toilet is. Now if we want to find out what the price of a particular item is, we'd say ¿Cuánto vale esto? Now remember that in Spanish B's and V's sound exactly the same so we would say ¿Cuánto vale esto?
How much is this? And finally, we've selected this word which might come in handy when you're with friends and when you want to toast to somebody or something. In Spain, we say salud to your good health.
Salud. Cheers. Salud. Okay, welcome on board.
Bye-bye.
