Start speaking with a small set of useful Spanish.
Module 1 gives you a few words and phrases you can use immediately, then shows you how to recombine them instead of memorizing isolated sentences.
By the end of the module, you can greet someone, say that something is possible, turn that idea into a yes/no question, answer sí or no, make the statement negative, strengthen it with muy, and close a short exchange with adiós.
You will also discover two ideas that will keep helping you throughout the course: familiar English words can sometimes help you recognize a Spanish cognate, and Spanish words that belong together can change together.
Your goal: understand what each piece is doing before you are asked to retrieve it in the Practice Rolls.
Lesson 1
First Spanish
Lesson 1
Your first useful Spanish
You will begin with four pieces of Spanish: a general greeting, a morning greeting, the word meaning is, and a familiar-looking word meaning possible.
Learn each piece first. Then you will combine es + posible to make your first complete Spanish statement.
Important: Spanish will not always use the same number of words as English. Focus on the meaning of the whole Spanish idea rather than forcing a word-for-word translation.
New Spanish
hola
In English: hello
Use hola as a simple greeting when you meet someone or begin a conversation.
Example:¡Hola! — Hello!
Pronunciation clue: the written h is silent in Spanish, so begin with the vowel sound. Use the Hear button and repeat the Spanish sound rather than reading it as an English word.
New Spanish
buenos días
In English: good morning
Use buenos días as the morning greeting. For now, learn the two words together as one useful expression.
Example:Buenos días. — Good morning.
Do not translate it word by word. The natural English meaning is good morning. In Lesson 3, you will look inside the Spanish expression and see why both words carry matching plural information.
New Spanish
es
In English: is
Es is one form of the verb ser. You do not need the whole verb yet—only this useful form.
Example:Es posible. — It is possible.
Notice the difference from English: English says It is possible. Spanish can simply say Es posible. The idea of English it is understood from the Spanish sentence, so Spanish does not need a separate word for it here.
New Spanish
posible
In English: possible
English possible and Spanish posible are cognates: historically related words whose form and meaning are similar enough to help you make the connection.
Example:Es posible. — It is possible.
Use the resemblance as a clue, not as an English pronunciation guide. The spelling helps you recognize the meaning; the Hear button teaches you how the Spanish word actually sounds.
Build your first statement
Es posible.
Natural English: It is possible.
es+posible→Es posible.
You already know both Spanish pieces. Put them together and you have a complete statement.
Compare the structure: English uses it + is + possible; Spanish uses es + posible. This is your first example of why learning the Spanish pattern is more useful than translating every English word separately.
Cognate Pattern
possible → posible
A cognate is a word in two languages that is related in origin and has the same or a closely related meaning. Your first example is English possible and Spanish posible.
Many useful English words ending in -able or -ible have Spanish partners with the same -able or -ible ending. For now, focus on the matching -ble letters.
See the pattern in 4 examples
English
Spanish
possible
posible
compatible
compatible
flexible
flexible
probable
probable
How to use the pattern: let the familiar spelling help you recognize a likely meaning, then confirm it. Do not assume that every English word with this ending automatically has a Spanish partner.
Say the Spanish word as Spanish. A cognate can look familiar while still having Spanish vowel sounds and stress.
Pronunciation
Let the spelling help your memory—but let Spanish control the sound.
Cognates can tempt an English speaker to pronounce the Spanish word as if it were English. Avoid that habit from the beginning.
posible → poh-SEE-bleh
Use the visible phonetic guide to help you form the word, then use Hear to copy the Mexican Spanish model. Keep the vowels clear and repeat the whole word naturally.

Lesson 2
Yes, No & Questions
Lesson 2
Turn one idea into several useful messages.
You already know Es posible. Now you will reuse that same idea instead of starting over.
Add four useful words—sí, no, muy, and adiós—and you can ask a question, answer it, make the statement negative, make it stronger, and close the exchange.
Watch the pattern: most of the Spanish stays the same while one small change gives the sentence a different job.
New Spanish
sí
In English: yes
Use sí when your answer is positive.
Question:¿Es posible? — Is it possible? Answer:Sí. — Yes.
Notice the accent:sí meaning yes is written with an accent. If you forget it in practice, you still understood the answer, but the course will remind you to write the accent correctly.
New Spanish
no
In English: no / not
This one short Spanish word does two jobs you already know in English.
Short answer:No. — No. Negative statement:No es posible. — It is not possible.
Word order matters: English places not after is. In this Spanish pattern, no goes directly before es.
New Spanish
muy
In English: very
Use muy immediately before the describing word to make the description stronger.
posible — possible muy posible — very possible Es muy posible. — It is very possible.
You are not learning a completely new sentence. You are inserting one new word into a pattern you already understand.
New Spanish
adiós
In English: goodbye
Use adiós to close an exchange.
Example:Sí. Adiós. — Yes. Goodbye.
Notice:adiós has a written accent. The accent marks the stressed part of the word, so pay attention to it when you see the word and copy the Hear model.
Make a question
Es posible. → ¿Es posible?
The statement and question use the same Spanish words in the same order.
Statement:Es posible. — It is possible. Question:¿Es posible? — Is it possible?
English changes the structure from it is to is it. In this simple Spanish pattern, you do not need that English-style reversal. The written question marks and your questioning intonation tell the reader or listener that you are asking.
Written Spanish uses both marks:¿ at the beginning and ? at the end.
Make it negative
No es posible.
Natural English: It is not possible.
no+es posible→No es posible.
Put no directly before es. That one change turns the positive statement into a negative statement.
Compare: English says is not; this Spanish pattern says no es. Learn the Spanish order as its own pattern.
Make the description stronger
Es muy posible.
Natural English: It is very possible.
es+muy+posible→Es muy posible.
Notice how much Spanish you can create from a small vocabulary. You kept Es posible and inserted muy before the describing word.
This is the habit the course will build: keep old language active and recombine it as each new piece is introduced.
See the three forms together
Statement → Question → Negative
Statement:Es posible. — It is possible.
Question:¿Es posible? — Is it possible?
Negative:No es posible. — It is not possible.
What changes? The question keeps the Spanish word order and changes the sentence purpose through question marks and intonation. The negative keeps the original idea and adds no before es.
You now have three different messages built from almost the same Spanish. That is more useful than memorizing three unrelated sentences.

Lesson 3
First Plural Relationship
Lesson 3
Look inside a phrase you already know.
You already know buenos días as the natural morning greeting. Keep using it as that complete expression.
Now we are going to look inside the phrase for one reason: it gives you your first glimpse of an important Spanish relationship. Spanish can show matching information on more than one word that belongs together.
You are noticing the pattern here, not learning the full plural rules yet.
See the relationship
buen día → buenos días
Compare the two parts:
buen→buenos+día→días
The noun changes from día to días, and the word connected to it changes from buen to buenos.
This matching relationship is called agreement: in Spanish, words that belong together can change so their forms match.
Important: do not think of Buenos días as something you have to construct every morning by mechanically making buen día plural. Learn Buenos días as the greeting; we are simply using it to notice the agreement inside the phrase.
Spanish and English
English and Spanish can show the relationship differently.
In English, a describing word often stays unchanged when the noun becomes plural. Spanish frequently carries matching information across the related words.
Inside buenos días, both words show the plural relationship. That is the key observation for this lesson.
You do not need to build new plural phrases yet. Later modules will teach when nouns and describing words change and how to make those changes correctly.
For now, remember one simple idea: Spanish words that belong together can change together.
