We've made a list of about 120 of the most commonly used words in everyday conversation.

We've translated the words into their most general form. It's horrible, we know, but it will work.

Memorize one word a day. Anybody can do that. Log-In every day for your new word. Use it in your English sentences whenever you can. Find ways to use it. Repeat it through out the day. Write it down a couple of times. It will help if, when you say it, you say both the English and (the Spanish) versions of the word.

For instance, "Paula, can I have that (este)?"

Sooner or later, using the Spanglish por Los Gringos system, you'll come up with sentences like this:

"Paula, can I have that?" ¿ Paula, puede yo teine este?

This ain't great Spanish. In fact it's REALLY BAD Spanish. Believe me. However, in context, if Paula were a native Spanish speaker and you had been sitting with her at a table asking if you could keep a photo, or pointing to something out of your reach, she'd know exactly what you meant.

But don't worry about making sentences right away. Do it one word a day. Just sprinkle your normal conversation with more and more Spanglish. Ease into it but do it everyday! In a little over three months you'll be stylin'.

We do have a little grammar lesson. It's kind of condensed. Mostly we tell you to ignore everything. So what if your high school Spanish teacher breaks out in tears when he hears you mangle the language? Your Spanish speaking friends will appreciate the effort. If you keep it up, sooner or later they'll push you into the correct form.

Or not so correct, ¡Oralé!

So go for it, get your first word.
