Answer 1

hi i am trying to pick up on spanish and need help

Hola pup y bienvendio al foro :o

I think your sentence above applies to 99 per cent of us here at Spanishdict.

So how to start a conversation? Well - take a deep breath, swallow your fears (I know easier said than done), and say in a loud voice,

¡Hola amigo (amiga) mi nombre es.....¿Cómo está?

(Hi friend, my name is....how are you today?)

I recommend Paralee's lessons - they are very user-friendly.

¡Buena suerte!

Well said old friend, how about the rain Melbourne ? - ray76, Oct 30, 2010

Answer 2

Relax, put a smile on your face, and just jump in!

You'll probably have a little bit better luck if you practice a few conversations by yourself. When you think you are "close" you can take your show on the road.

Good luck!!!!

That is good advice that I shall take on board,thank you . - ray76, Oct 30, 2010

Answer 3

"Hola" usually does the trick.

Answer 4

How do you do it in English? Do the same in Spanish. But be prepared for someone to answer back in Spanish. Go in with at least a handful of phrases, including, "Please slow down. I'm just learning."
