Hello Everybody! How are you all doing today?
Welcome to my language post! This still counts as a travel post. They are words and phrases that could be useful when traveling. What are you going to do if you go to a country with a foreign language? Google translate is not always there to help you out.
I decided to bring this back for 2020. I always planned to make a full series of these posts. But I guess I changed my mind along the way. But it was never forgotten cause here it is. I want to make the whole list with each language at a time. And I am starting off with Spanish.
So here are phrases and words translated from English to Spanish:
- Hello: Hola
- Goodbye: Adiós
- Good Morning: Buenos Días
- Mr.: Señor
- Good Day: Buen Día
- Mrs.: Señora
- Good Evening: Buenas Noches

This list will come in handy when traveling to Spain, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Latin America. Letting you know Latin America has a lot of Spanish speaking countries. To make it easy it starts from Mexico on the top and ends with Argentina at the bottom. And not all Spanish is the same Spanish. Some words can differ depending on the country.
This Spanish is my version of Spanish. Or you can say this is Puertorrican Spanish. I made sure to write all the words right and not to add any “special” words we use. My Spanish has a bunch of English words in it and it can sound a bit confusing. But Spanish is still Spanish and they will understand you with this list.
Disclaimer, this isn’t a language lesson. I am not a language teacher. This is only a list of words and phrases you can use when traveling. I search for the language I need. Look up the word and phrase I want to say in my language and then say the translation. I would like to use my own list one day. But I haven’t traveled to a country with a language that differs from my own. I was close but I couldn’t make it.
There you have it. A new travel post. It feels refreshing to do something a little different. Or bring something back from when I started this blog. I can’t wait to post part 2. At least I have enough time to prepare. But I can’t focus all my attention on these ones. I give each post equal treatment. And that consumes all my time. And I am not complaining. So please wish me good luck and thank you for your support.
Do not forget to give me a visit at The Senspirational ArtRoom. All I need is your support and now you can do so by going to my Patreon page. Or go to see my older drawings at DeviantArt. There are also many other sites that I am currently active in. Never forget to add me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest. Well, I’ll leave now. Be nice to others and have a nice day!
See you all later and take care,
from Ijiserure.
