Spanish.

Before commenting on how this resource works, I'd like

to introduce myself. I'm Gianella, a Spanish teacher from
Chile. I'm here to help you overcome language barriers

excellent tool for independent study.
 100 ESSENTIAL SPANISH WORDS

In this ebook, you will find my selection of 100 essential words, both standard and frequently
used, present in most conversations. With these words, you can say hello and goodbye, ask
some questions, and give some answers, all with English translation.

Besides these hundred words, I have also selected some typical questions and answers for
everyday situations such as "at the restaurant," "at the doctor," and "at the market."

Please remember that to get these words stuck in your head; you must practice them
frequently. It is said that, on average, the brain needs to be exposed to a term 15 to 20 times
to learn it.

Repetition is key! So, grab this, print it out, stick it on your wall, and start using it in your
everyday life. Without a doubt, the help of a tutor will constantly reinforce your study
sessions. For more information about Spanish courses and other services, please email me at
hola@spanishconnected.com or follow me on Instagram at @spanishconnected.

I hope you enjoy this new content!
