Spanish Vocabulary: A Beginner's Guide

If you are a beginner in Spanish, there are a few things you should know about Spanish vocabulary. First, Spanish vocabulary is very similar to English vocabulary. Many Spanish words are derived from Latin, and they share similar meanings. For example, the Spanish word for “house” is “casa,” which is similar to the English word “house.”

Second, Spanish has a few grammatical features that can make learning vocabulary more challenging. For example, Spanish nouns have gender, and they must agree with the articles and adjectives that modify them. For example, the word for “house” is feminine, so the article “la” is used in front of it.

Finally, there are a few common Spanish words that you should learn as a beginner. These words include:

Hola – Hello
Adiós – Goodbye
Por favor – Please
Gracias – Thank you
De nada – You’re welcome

Learning these basic Spanish words will help you to communicate with native speakers and make your journey learning Spanish a little bit easier.

In addition to the basic words listed above, there are a few other Spanish vocabulary topics that you may want to focus on as a beginner. These topics include:
