Common Spanish Phrases

From 'good morning' to 'the bill, please' — build the everyday Spanish phrases that get real conversations moving.

Instructions for Common Spanish Phrases

This activity introduces frequently used conversational phrases for everyday situations — greeting people, asking questions, expressing needs, and sharing feelings or opinions. Rather than single vocabulary words, students practise complete, ready-to-use phrases that reflect how people actually speak in real conversations.

Teachers can use this as an introduction to conversational language early in a course, as a warm-up before role-play or speaking activities, or as revision before an oral assessment. Because the phrases span everyday social situations rather than a single grammar topic, it also works well as ongoing reinforcement throughout the term. No prior grammar knowledge is required — only basic reading in the target language.
