Spanish Blog #0: My background in the Spanish language.

6-16-2018

I will be posting daily blogs as I explore the Spanish langauge. Some days I might post one word, one phrase, multiple words and phrases, or grammatical rules. Whatever I do post, it will not be very long. This post is longer because it includes my background on the language. I wanted to put this out there to show you (and myself) my baseline.

I do know a little bit of Spanish from my time in Peru and taking Spanish in grades 1-4. I know:

• Hola - Hello
• Adios - Goodbye
• Buenos dias - Good morning
• Buenos noches - Goodnight
• Buenos tardes - Good afternoon
• Hasta luego - See you later (until later)
• Hasta manana - See you tomorrow
• Cuanto cuesta? - How much is it?
• Donde esta? - Where is it?
• Donde esta el bano? - Where is the bathroom?
• Lo siento - I'm sorry
• Perdoname - Pardon me
• Some numbers, probably confident about up to 50.
  Example: 45 = cuarenta y cinco
• Some colors
• Some random words (huevos = eggs)

I've been trying to learn common phrases by reading a few every night before bed. Here are the ones I have learned so far this week:

• Cuantos hay? - How many are there?
• Hay muchos - There are many
• Estoy perdido - I am lost
