Basic Phrases

Just starting to speak English and want phrases you can use from day one? These quizzes pair essential English greetings and polite expressions with their Spanish meanings, made for Spanish speakers.

Basic English Phrases for Spanish Speakers

Each quiz matches an everyday English phrase to its Spanish meaning, so you build a foundation of greetings, questions, and polite expressions. You will work with lines like Good morning, Do you speak English?, How much is it?, and Where is the bathroom?, the kind of phrases that come up from your very first conversations. The sets lean toward the polite, formal way of speaking, which is the safe choice when you are talking with someone you have just met.

These quizzes are aimed at beginners and cover travel, everyday requests, and simple reactions. Because the phrases are so common, the practice carries straight into real life, whether you are asking for help or simply saying hello.

Basic English Phrases with Audio Pronunciation

Reading a phrase is one thing; saying it with confidence is another. Every quiz includes audio pronunciation of the English phrases, so you can hear exactly how each one should sound and repeat it until it feels natural in your own mouth.

Did You Know?

The Spanish way to say you are welcome translates literally to "of nothing," a friendlier and more casual image than the English version. Small gaps like that are part of what makes moving between the two languages fun.

There is a visible difference on the page too. Standard written Spanish opens a question with an upside-down question mark, while English has no such mark at all.

How the Quizzes Work

Each quiz is short, about five minutes, and you can repeat any of the 3 sets whenever you want a phrase to stick. Practicing little and often is how these everyday lines become automatic. Ready to speak from day one? Open the free interactive English quizzes and start with the basics.
