I want to do the TEFL course and work teaching English! I will for sure be buying the Spanish language book that you recommended!

It definitely gives you added confidence when you have some basics down! Fortunately, for the most part, everyone tends to be really friendly and patient with travelers who struggle with the language šŸ™‚

I’ve always been fine just knowing English + then picking up some basic phrases in countries as I travel but South America is difficult!! Very few people speak English and I should have brushed up on the basics beforehand.

Yeah, exactly! They’re just asking “how are you.” I usually just say “muy bien, gracias.” Basically, just respond as you would in English!

Hoorah! I always find that locals are really appreciative when travelers bother to learn even just really basic phrases!

Haha, that’s how I felt when I first came to Mexico. I kind of knew basic phrases but I had no idea what to do if someone started answering my questions or using slang, etc!

Is it like an American ‘how are you?’ when you would reply with ‘good, how are you?’ or is an actual answer required which might be honest?

I have just a couple of these down, but many will be great additions to my Spanish vocabulary!
