Spanish · CEFR Band 1 (A1) · Chapter 1
¡Hola!Hello!
Your first words in Spanish — and the few sounds an English speaker must learn. Spanish reads almost exactly as it is written: five pure vowels, always the same. Only a handful of letters surprise you: ñ, ll, j (the jota), the rolled rr, and the peninsular c/z. We start with greetings by time of day (buenos días, buenas tardes, buenas noches) and the everyday sí / no / vale.
