Simple words and phrases like sorry, please, thank you, etc. The basic building blocks are a great place to start.

It takes some work, but if you combine individual practice in the Rosetta Stone award-winning mobile app and practice with other Spanish language learners in Live Tutoring, you can have absolute control over your learning speed and, ultimately, your long-term progress. That way, you’ll be ready to handle any situation and sound great doing it. So it’s not just about the features, but what you’re able to do because of them. What makes Rosetta Stone unique is that we prepare you to use your new language in the real world. With Rosetta Stone’s immersive approach, you’ll learn the language, not just the words. There are only three extra letters you’ll want to learn: ch (chay), ñ (eñe), and ll (elle). Additionally, the Spanish alphabet is an almost exact match to English and many other European languages. Many learners also find that Spanish has a simple to understand system of pronunciation, as well as rare irregularities in pronunciation––which is unlike English. This is why you’ll frequently find English words like “normal” that are almost identical in French (normale), Italian (normale), and Spanish (normal).

Italian and French are historically related to Spanish in the same language family––while English uses many French and Italian/Latin words that we call cognates (lingual cousins of one another). But the basics are simple enough to get a handle on––especially if you already speak related “romance” languages like Italian or French––and even English, too.

Learning idiomatic Spanish phrases can seem intimidating. If you want to say “I love you” in Spanish, you would say “te amo” or “te quiero.” “Te amo” is generally more appropriate for your close family and spouses/partners, while “te quiero” is generally better for friends, extended family and others.
