How to use Spanish sentences lists
Follow these 3 steps to learn Spanish with phrases lists
- Listen and/or read the full list of useful phrases in Spanish
- Read the phrase in English and try to say it in Spanish
- Memorise all the phrases until you can say them without making any mistakes
Once you feel comfortable with one list you can move on to the next one!
How long to practice each intermediate list
Go through each list twice every day for a week. This will take you about 20 minutes, but by the end of the week you will do it in just 5 minutes.
If after 7 days you still make mistakes in some sentences, mark them and practice only those.
Why learning Spanish with sentences?
Learning with sentences is a great training for your brain. Most of the time my students struggle with finding the right word or sentence for daily situations, especially when you don’t have a lot of time to react or think.
That’s why I always recommend my students to practice with Spanish phrase lists, because they help them to feel more confident and speak faster. And they are also great to fix grammar structures in your brain.
Don´t understimate these lists! Sentences can seem easy, that’s why making silly mistakes is so common. You will realise that you have been making the same mistake for years! Fix these phrases in your brain and avoid the most common mistakes for Spanish students.

Hola Gala
Me encuentro tus videos super util gracias por tus esfuerzos. Hay dos usos de «se» que no entiendo. En frases numeros 12 y 16 por que usas la forma reflexivas del verbo ir?
Hola Ray,
Usamos se porque son dos verbos reflexivos, irse y quedarse. Con todos los verbos terminados en -se necesitamos usar siempre pronombres reflexivos: Yo me voy, tú te vas, etc. Me alegro de que mis vídeos te sean útiles.
Muchas gracias por tu ayuda
