- Learn the Spanish alphabet and pronunciation - Spanish sounds are incredibly consistent once you know the rules. Remember, the "h" is always silent, so "hola" is pronounced "ola," and each letter has its own clear sound. Mastering this will have you reading road signs and menus like a pro.

- Familiarize yourself with numbers in Spanish - From counting change to telling your age, numbers are everywhere.

- Understand subject pronouns - Swap names with words like "yo" (I), "tú" (you), and "nosotros" (we) to avoid sounding repetitive.

- Learn present tense conjugation of regular verbs - Regular - ar, - er, and - ir verbs follow predictable patterns. For example, "hablar" becomes "yo hablo" and "comer" becomes "yo como."

- Differentiate between "ser" and "estar" - These two verbs both mean "to be," but they aren't interchangeable. Use "ser" for permanent traits ("Ella es alta") and "estar" for temporary states ("Estoy cansado"). Think of "ser" as the essentials and "estar" as the mood rings of language.

- Understand possessive adjectives - Show who owns what with "mi" (my), "tu" (your), and "su" (his/her). Saying "mi casa" or "tus libros" instantly clarifies possession. Practice swapping these into everyday sentences to lock them into your brain. Chapter 1 Quick Guide Chapter 1 Quick Guide
- Learn common interrogative words - Asking questions is half the fun of learning a language! Memorize "¿Qué?" (What?), "¿Dónde?" (Where?), "¿Cuándo?" (When?) and "¿Cómo?" (How?). These words will open up conversations and help you get all the information you need. Chapter 1 Quick Guide Chapter 1 Quick Guide
- Practice using the verb "gustar" - "Gustar" works a bit backwards: you say "Me gusta" or "Me gustan" depending on what you like. For example, "Me gusta el libro" vs. "Me gustan los libros." Get comfy with this pattern and start sharing your likes and dislikes like a true local. Chapter 1 Quick Guide Chapter 1 Quick Guide
