Survival Spanish: Sounds, Greetings & Small Talk
Lays the essential foundation before any real-world interaction. Learners master pronunciation so they can be understood, then build the social glue — greetings, pleasantries, and small talk — that opens every door with locals. This module comes first because every subsequent module depends on being able to speak and be understood confidently.
- 1.1Spanish Pronunciation in 30 MinutesIncluded
- 1.2Greetings, Goodbyes & Everyday PleasantriesIncluded
- 1.3Small Talk That Builds Real ConnectionIncluded
Eating & Drinking Like a Local
Covers every stage of the restaurant and market experience, from decoding a menu to paying the bill. Placed second because food interactions are the highest-frequency traveler touchpoint and build immediate, motivating wins. Pronunciation and greetings from Module 1 are applied directly here.
- 2.1Reading Menus & Ordering FoodIncluded
- 2.2Dietary Needs, Allergies & Special RequestsIncluded
- 2.3Markets, Street Food & Paying the BillIncluded
Getting Around: Airports, Transport & Directions
Builds transport literacy from arrival (airport) through urban travel (taxis, buses, trains) to navigating on foot. Sequenced after food because learners are now comfortable forming requests and can apply those patterns to higher-stakes travel situations. Directly delivers the airports/transport/directions target outcome.
- 3.1Airports & Border CrossingsIncluded
- 3.2Taxis, Buses & TrainsIncluded
- 3.3Asking for & Understanding DirectionsIncluded
Hotels & Accommodation
Covers the complete hotel stay lifecycle — reservation to checkout — including requesting amenities and resolving room problems. Placed after transport because learners reach accommodation after navigating there. Directly delivers the hotel target outcome. Module length reflects that hotel interactions, while critical, are narrower in vocabulary scope than transport.
- 4.1Check-In, Reservations & Room RequestsIncluded
- 4.2Amenities, Problems & CheckoutIncluded
Money, Shopping & Markets
Builds financial literacy in Spanish — understanding prices, exchanging currency, making purchases, reading receipts, and bargaining — directly delivering the money/bargaining target outcome. Placed after accommodation because learners now have enough vocabulary and confidence for transactional exchanges. The bargaining lesson reinforces and extends market vocabulary introduced briefly in the food module.
- 5.1Currency, Prices & PayingIncluded
- 5.2Bargaining at Markets & Shopping for SouvenirsIncluded
Emergencies, Health & Staying Safe
Prepares learners for high-stakes, high-stress situations: medical emergencies, pharmacy visits, lost or stolen items, and safety threats. Placed last because learners now have pronunciation, vocabulary breadth, and interaction confidence to handle complex, emotionally charged exchanges. However, the most critical survival phrases (call the police, I need a doctor) are flagged as must-memorize from day one.
- 6.1Critical Emergency Phrases — Know These FirstIncluded
- 6.2Medical Emergencies & PharmaciesIncluded
- 6.3Lost Items, Theft & Safety SituationsIncluded

Monica
Hey there, fellow traveler. If you've clicked your way to this page, I'm guessing you have a trip coming up — and a small (or not-so-small) voice in the back of your head wondering how on earth you're going to communicate when you get there. I've been there. That mix of excitement and low-key dread is real, and it's exactly why I built this school.
Here's what I want you to know upfront: you don't need to become fluent. You don't need to ace a grammar test. You don't need months of study or a gift for languages. What you need is a focused set of practical phrases for the real situations you're going to be in — ordering food, catching a taxi, asking where the bathroom is (an underrated survival skill), handling your money, and knowing what to say if something goes sideways. That's it. That's the whole mission here.
Every single lesson in Travel Spanish Now was built around one question: will this actually help someone on their trip? If the answer was no, it didn't make the cut. No filler, no grammar rabbit holes, no vocabulary lists for words you'll never use. What made it in are the conversations, the phrases, and the cultural context that will genuinely make your trip smoother, richer, and more connected — starting with pronunciation you can absorb in about 30 minutes, all the way through to knowing exactly what to say at a pharmacy or police station if you need to.
I also know your time is precious right now. You've got a trip to plan, a bag to pack, and approximately seventeen other things on your to-do list. So I kept every lesson short, punchy, and immediately useful. You can work through this on your commute, over your lunch break, or in those quiet twenty minutes before bed. Progress compounds fast when you're learning things you actually care about — and trust me, you care very much about being able to order the right thing off that menu.
By the time you finish this school, you won't just have memorized some phrases. You'll feel genuinely ready to open your mouth and connect with the people and places you've been looking forward to for months. And honestly? That confidence is half the battle. Come on in — let's get you ready for this trip.
