Holidays are always “just around the corner”. You dream about them. You measure your working time in months/weeks/days remaining until the vacation. You even watch travel videos and imagine you are in them. And you know what? We all do that. But there’s something even more useful you can do to prepare for your travels: learn useful and essential travel phrases. If you are planning to visit a Spanish-speaking country soon, here are a bunch of useful Spanish travel phrases you can use to take your traveling experience to the next level. Teach yourself Spanish for travelers today and drink sangria with the locals tomorrow!
And if you have been wondering, yes, South American Spanish and European Spanish are almost the same. The situation is similar to the American English vs. British English situation. This means that you can spot minor differences when it comes to accent and some words. That being said, it’s time to learn some Spanish travel phrases!
If you want to spark some Spanish conversations, it takes just a common Spanish word to do it: a greeting. And you probably know one already. The Latins are warm, friendly and very welcoming people, so don’t be surprised if they seem open to conversation. It’s an opportunity you want to take advantage of.
Arriving at the airport – both at the beginning and at the end of your journey – will also require some basic Spanish sentences. Whether we are talking about passport verification, asking for directions or for help with your luggage, these travel phrases will definitely help you. It’s important to realize that not everybody speaks English.
In this situation, you can also use the basic Spanish travel phrases for conversation that were mentioned in the first bullet points. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it. Taxi drivers, for example, are usually nice people and will surely answer your questions. They might even give you travel tips that only locals know.
The questions that will help you the most when you are asking for help are ¿Dónde está…? meaning Where is…? and ¿Dónde hay…? that is basically the same thing but it is generally used together with indefinite articles like un or una.
At this point, you are already getting your travel vocabulary to the next level!
Quick learning tip: take some good ol’ piece of paper and a pen and write these holiday phrases down. The next step is to try and repeat them using the audios included in the article. This will help you get your “Spanish for travelers” skills on point!
Local cuisine and food, in general, are one of the best parts of a vacation. The travel experience is not complete if you don’t try at least one traditional meal that local people absolutely love. If you want to be sure you are making the right choice, go with the chef’s recommendation or just ask around. Buen provecho!
The final – and probably most important – travel phrases in a Spanish-speaking country are those related to fun. The holiday is not over until you go to a fiesta and drink a few sangrias. And you know what? You learn Spanish for vacation today, but you might end up loving it so much that you’ll want to achieve fluency. Who knows?! Maybe you’ll even move to a Spanish-speaking country – especially since science occasionally says these are the happiest countries in the world.
