      This is great, it’s a fabulous way to get some great vocabulary down and also ways to use them in a sentence. Taking Spanish in highschool this is how we were instructed. So this regime is familiar and a good place to get some footing before proceeding to auditory learning which is fast paced and overwhelming if you don’t have some basic grammar and familiarity with words down. Good place to start! Well done !

    The Gringo Guide To Speaking Spanish - Dr. Jay Polmar

    INTRODUCTION TO SPANISH

    If you are reading this guide, chances are that you are in México, and you have a need to talk to others in Spanish. Si estás leyendo esta guía, es probable que estés en México, y tienes la necesidad de hablar con otros en español.

    If English is your first language it must be difficult for you to comprehend why there are 16 potential tenses to the Spanish language. Si el inglés es tu primer idioma puede ser difícil para tí comprender porque hay 16 tiempos potenciales en el idioma español.

    In the Gringo Guide we present a variety of statements, verbs, and pronouns to help you speak in the present tense. La Guía de Gringos te presenta una variedad de oraciones, verbos y pronombres, para ayudarte hablar en tiempo presente. In this way you can communicate your needs or wants, in the simplest possible form. De esta manera puedes comunicar tus necesidades o lo que quieras en la forma más simple posible. And by using our days and dates method, you can talk about the past and the future. Y al usar nuestros días y métodos de fechas, puedes hablar acerca del pasado y del futuro.

    Best of all, you can do it right now and study just a few minutes each day and soon you’ll be speaking Spanish. Lo mejor de todo, es que puedes hacerlo justo ahora y estudiar solo unos cuantos minutos cada día y pronto estarás hablando español.

    Keep the guide in your pocket or purse. Mantén la guía en tu bolsillo o en la bolsa. Whenever you need to talk to others in Spanish to get your needs met - just open to the right page and start talking. Cuando necesites hablar con otros en español para obtener lo que necesitas - solo abre la página y empieza a hablar. Common phrases and idioms have been covered and we’ve also created scenarios and situations that you, as a tourist, might run into. Frases comunes y modismos han sido puestos y también hemos creado escenarios y situaciones que tú, como turista, puedes necesitar.

    Don’t forget to listen to the pronounciation tape and practice your pronounciation with this book before going out into the world of Spanish. No olvides escuchar la pronunciación y practícala con este libro antes de salir hacia el mundo del español.

    MEXICANS ARE POLITE PEOPLE

    From my personal experience, Mexicans are very polite people. In the tourist areas the Mexican population is especially helpful and friendly. However, very few Mexicans have mastered talking in English. Thus, we always recommend responding politely in the Spanish language.

    Use the appropriate polite language, including Hello and Goodbye, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and especially Please, Thank You and You’re Welcome:

    Hola, Buenos Días. Gracias por todo. De nada, Adiós.

    I need the homework, please.

    Necesito la tarea, por favor.

    I need a book, please.

    Necesito un libro, por favor.

    LEARN YOUR NUMBERS.

    The number one changes from "uno" to "un" before a masculine noun. i.e., one book-un libro, one man-un hombre.

    The number one changes from "uno" to "una" before a feminine noun. i.e., one pen-una pluma, one
