Keeping The Conversation Going: Small Talk In Spanish

 

Making small talk is something you’re going to do a lot of. So there’s every reason to know how to do it properly.

Besides, small talk is the gateway to real communication; you need to be able to do it in order to really speak to a person.

Making small talk is not something most of us enjoy in our own language, so doing it in a foreign language can be a bit daunting. But trust me, being able to engage in small talk will allow you to get a conversation started.

Making conversation in whatever way you can as a beginner will allow you to grow in confidence and figure out what you need to learn next in Spanish.

Here are some phrases you can use to get the conversation going:

·         #5 ¿Cómo estás? – How are you?

o    (KOH-moh eh-STAHS)

·         #6 ¿Cómo te va? – How’s it going?

o    (KOH-moh te BAH)

·         #7 ¿Cómo te ha ido? – How’ve you been?

o    (KOH-moh te ah EE-doh)

·         #8 Estoy bien ¡Gracias! – I’m fine, thanks

o    (eh-STOY bee-en GRA-thee-as/GRA-see-as)

·         #9 ¿Y tú? – And you?

o    (ee too)

·         #10 Bien/ Así así. – Good/ So-so

o    (bee-en / a-SEE a-SEE)

·         #11 ¿Qué tal? – How are you?

o    (kay tal)

·         #12 ¿Qué pasa? – What’s happening?

o    (kay PA-sa)

·         #13 ¿Qué haces? – What are you doing?

o    (kay AH-says)

Did you notice anything strange about the pronunciation of the phrase ¿Cómo te va?

The ‘v' in va is pronounced almost like a ‘b'.

In English, the letter's ‘b' and ‘v' represent different sounds, but in Spanish, they represent the same sound.

This sound is different from anything we have in English. It's like a B, but softer. Listen to how I pronounce the word ¡Vale! (‘ok') in this recording to see how it sounds:

Being Polite In Spanish

 

Of course, no matter what language you're speaking, politeness goes a long way. Whether you need to make an apology or just want to thank someone, you're going to use these phrases a lot!:

·         #14 ¡Gracias! – Thank you!

o    (GRA-thee-as/GRA-see-as)

·         #15 Por favor – Please

o    (por fah-BOR)

·         #16 ¡De nada! – You’re welcome!

o    (de NA-da)

·         #17 ¡Perdone! / ¡Oiga! – Excuse me (to ask for something)!

o    (per-DON-ay/ OY-ga)

·         #18 ¡Perdone! / Disculpe! – Excuse me (to get past)!

o    (per-DON-ay/ dis-KUL-pay)

·         #19 ¡Disculpe! – Sorry!

o    (if you didn’t hear something) (dis-KUL-pay)

·         #20 ¡Lo siento! – Sorry! (for a mistake)

o    (lo see-EN-to)

Dealing With Problems In Spanish

 

Of course, not every conversation or language exchange will go smoothly.

What should you do when you don't understand something? Or if you need to ask someone for help?

It's important to know some basic Spanish phrases you can use for dealing with problems when they arise. If you need someone to speak more slowly or to repeat something, the best thing to do is just ask them!

·         #22 ¿Podría ayudarle? – Can I help you?

o    (poh-DREE-a ay-oo-DAR-le)

·         #22 ¿Puede ayudarme? – Can you help me?

o    (PWE-day ay-oo-DAR-may)

·         #23 ¡Sin problema! – No problem!

o    (sin prob-LAME-ah)

·         #24 ¿Puede repetirlo? – Can you say that again?

o    (PWE-day re-pet-EER-lo)

·         #25 No entiendo – I don’t understand!

o    (no en-tee-EN-do)

·         #26 No (lo) sé – I don’t know!

o    (no lo say)

·         #27 No tengo ni idea – I have no idea!

o    (no TEN-go nee ee-DAY-ah)

·         #28 No hablo español – I don't speak Spanish

o    (no AB-lo es-pan-YOL)

·         #29 Estoy perdido – I’m lost

o    (eh-STOY per-DEE-do)

·         #30 ¿Qué significa …? – What does … mean?

o    (kay sig-nif-EE-ka)

·         #31 Mi español es malo – My Spanish is bad

o    (mi es-pan-YOL es MA-lo)

·         #32 ¿Puedes hablar más despacio? – Can you speak more slowly?

o    (PWE-des ab-LAR mas des-PATH-ee-o)

The word despacio in the last phrase is interesting. Notice that the ‘c' is pronounced like ‘th' in this context.

This is the traditional Spanish pronunciation used in Spain. However, in Latin America, people pronounce the ‘c' as an ‘s' sound (e.g. des-PAS-ee-o).

Question Words In Spanish

 

Conversation is a two-way street. So if you want to really connect with people, you need to be able to ask questions. Here are the Spanish question words you need to know:

·         ¿qué…? – what?

o    (kay)

·         ¿cómo…? – how?

o    (KOH-moh)

·         ¿cuándo…? – when?

o    (KWAN-doh)

·         ¿dónde…? – where?

o    (DON-day)

·         ¿quién…? – who?

o    (KEE-en)

·         ¿por qué…? – why?

o    (por KAY)

·         ¿cuál? – which?

o    (kwal)

It's a good idea to just memorise these words right away. You're going to come across them again and again so it's important you're comfortable with them.

Pro tip: Question words are always written with an accent and with opening/closing question marks.

There are lots of questions which we use regularly in everyday conversation but we often don’t realise how important they are.

Not having them in your repertoire will leave you tongue-tied and at a loss in many situations.

Here are some examples of questions that are useful to know:

·         #33 ¿Cómo te llamas? – What is your name?

o    (KOH-moh teh YAH-mas)

·         #34 ¿Qué hora tienes? – What time is it?

o    (kay OH-ra tee-EN-es)

·         #35 ¿Dónde puedo comprar…? – Where can I buy…?

o    (DON-day PWAY-do kom-PRAR)

o    (kay es ES-to)

·         #42 ¿Entiende? – Do you understand?

o    (en-tee-EN-day)

·         #43 ¿Comprende? – Do you understand?

o    (com-PREN-day)

·         #44 ¿Hablas inglés? – Do you speak English?

o    (AB-las in-GLAYS)

·         #45 ¿Dónde está el baño? – Where is the bathroom?

o    (DON-day es-TAH el BAN-yo)

• Papando moscas – “Catching flies”. Speaking of daydreaming, that’s called catching flies in Spanish. Which is quite a visual: Your friend sitting there, so completely lost in thought, the flies have started to land on him or her. But he or she doesn’t even notice!
• Comiendo moscas – “Eating flies”. Flies are popular in Spanish idioms for some reason. You use this phrase when the person talking to you is quite long-winded. It can be said about anyone who goes on tangents, or someone who can’t stay on point.
• Buena onda – “Good wave”. This means good vibes. You can also use it to describe someone who has a positive outlook and attitude.
• Me pica el bagre – “The catfish is biting me”. The catfish being your stomach, and the biting being the painful ache of hunger. In other words, “I’m starved!”

• Meter la pata – “To put a paw it in.” It means “to screw up”, and it’s used like how we say in English, “to put your foot in your mouth”.
• Creerse la última coca-cola del desierto – “To think of yourself as the last Coca-Cola in the desert”. This is an interesting one to me. It means you think you’re better than everyone else, or you think you’re hot stuff.
• Tener la cola sucia – “To have a dirty tail.” It comes from the idea of being sneaky like a fox. Doing something you know is wrong, but doing it anyway and trying to get away with it.
• Se puso hasta las chanclas – “Puts on his flip-flops”. It’s like the saying “He/She put on his/her beer goggles.” He or she got hammered, too drunk, trashed.
• Échale ganas – “Insert desire”. It means to try your best. “How bad do you want it?”
• Mandar a alguien por un tubo – “Send someone through a tube”. You use this to tell someone to “shove it”.
• Mala leche – “Bad milk”. You can say this about someone who has bad intentions.
• Tirar la casa por la ventana – “Throw the house out the window”. Or as you would hear Donna from Parks & Rec say, “Treat yo’ self”. It means to splurge, spend a lot of money, or otherwise go all out for a special occasion.

Top 10 Spanish phrases and sentences you need to know

We have prepared a list of common Spanish expressions that will help you have a basic conversation in Spanish in no time. Let's dig in!

1.    1. Buenos días. = Good morning.

If you find yourself in Spain, it is always polite to say “Hi” every morning because Spanish speakers are really sociable. “Good morning” in Spanish is "Buenos Dias".
Now enjoy being greeted by a native speaker:

Buenos días.

2.    2. Buenas tardes. = Good afternoon.

But what if it's later in the day and you want to greet someone from Argentina? Well, “Good afternoon” in Spanish is "Buenas tardes".
Now listen to how a Spanish speaker would pronounce it:

Buenas tardes.

3.    3. Me llamo Mondly. = My name is Mondly.

Let's say your name is Mondly, you are traveling to Costa Rica and meet someone on the street. To introduce yourself you can say "Me llamo Mondly" which means "My name is Mondly" in Spanish.
Listen to how a person from Spain would pronounce this phrase:

Me llamo Mondly.

4.    4. Encantado de conocerte. = I'm pleased to meet you.

Now that you have introduced yourself, a Spanish speaker would respond "Encantado de conocerte" which means "I'm pleased to meet you" in Spanish.
Listen to a native Spanish speaker saying that exact sentence to you right now:

Encantado de conocerte.

5.    5. ¿Cómo estás? = How are you?

At this point, it might be polite to ask the person you are having a conversation with "How are you?" in Spanish.
"Como estas?" is really easy to pronounce. Here's how to say it:

¿Cómo estás?

6.    6. Bien, gracias. ¿Y usted? = Fine, thanks. And you?

If, on the other hand, a Spanish speaker asks you first how are you doing, this is how you can answer politely. Apply the unspoken rule of politeness everywhere you go and many doors shall joyously open in your path.
Here's a native speaker showing you how to say "Bien, gracias. ¿Y usted?":

Bien, gracias. ¿Y usted?

7.    7. Me gustaría una cerveza. = I’d like a beer.

And because you might find yourself in a bar when visiting Mexico, you might have to learn how to order a beer in Spanish.
Let a native Spanish speaker show you how it's done:

Me gustaría una cerveza.

8.    8. Lo siento. = I'm sorry.

There are times when what you ordered is out of stock, so a bartender might say "Lo siento" which means "I'm sorry" in Spanish.
Listen to how it's pronounced:
