What you will learn
You will expand greetings by time of day, give your name in two natural Spanish patterns, learn Spanish letter names in two stages (A–M, then N–Z) and use the alphabet as a spelling reference, ask how a name is spelled, spell familiar names aloud, and address someone naturally by name or a simple respectful title.
Lesson 1
What You'll Learn
You already know Buenos días from Module 1. Now you will add the greetings used later in the day and learn to choose the one that fits the situation.
Learn each greeting first as a natural whole expression. You will also notice that Spanish uses buenos in buenos días but buenas in buenas tardes and buenas noches. That is your first reminder that related Spanish words can change to agree with one another.
New Spanish
In English: good afternoon
Use buenas tardes when greeting someone in the afternoon. Learn the two words together as the normal greeting rather than translating and rebuilding it each time.
Phonetic: BWEH-nahs TAR-dehs
Notice: The vowels stay clear and the natural stress falls on TAR.
New Spanish
In English: good evening / good night
Spanish uses buenas noches both when greeting someone in the evening and, depending on the situation, when saying good night. English often separates those two ideas more sharply.
Phonetic: BWEH-nahs NOH-chehs
Notice: Think about the situation, not a word-for-word English translation.
Build & Connect
In English: good morning / good afternoon / good evening or night
You now have a simple time-of-day system: buenos días for morning, buenas tardes for afternoon, and buenas noches for evening or night.
Do not treat them as three unrelated sentences. Hear the time or see the situation, then retrieve the whole greeting that belongs there.
Lesson 1 · Practice Roll 1 · English → Spanish
Greet Ana in the afternoon.
Lesson 1 · Practice Roll 2 · Spanish → English
Buenas noches, Luis.
Lesson 1 · Practice Roll 3 · Hear Spanish → English
Press Hear Spanish. Listen carefully to the complete Spanish message, then type its natural English meaning. Focus: Hear a two-part greeting.
Lesson 1 · Practice Roll 4 · English → Spanish
Say: “Hello, Luis. Good evening.”
Lesson 1 · Practice Roll 5 · Spanish → English
Buenas tardes, Ana. ¿Es posible? Sí.
Lesson 1 · Practice Roll 6 · English → Spanish
Say: “Good evening, Luis. Is it compatible? No. Goodbye.”
Lesson 2
What You'll Learn
You are going to turn words you already know into a personal introduction. You will learn mi and nombre, then reconnect them with es from Module 1.
The result is a reusable pattern: Mi nombre es + your name.
New Spanish
In English: name
nombre is the word for a person's name. You will use it immediately inside mi nombre — my name.
Phonetic: NOHM-breh
Notice: Pronounce the final e; it is not silent as it often would be in English.
New Spanish
In English: my
Use mi before the thing that belongs to you: here, mi nombre means my name.
Phonetic: mee
Keep in mind: This mi has no written accent. You may later meet mí with an accent, but it is a different word with a different job.
New Pattern
In English: My name is [NAME].
Build it from pieces you know: mi = my, nombre = name, and es = is. Replace [NAME] with your own name.
Phonetic: mee NOHM-breh ehs + your name
This pattern lines up closely with English, which makes it a useful first sentence to personalize rather than simply memorize.
Lesson 2 · Practice Roll 7 · English → Spanish
Say: “My name is Ana.”
Lesson 2 · Practice Roll 8 · Spanish → English
Hola. Mi nombre es Luis.
Lesson 2 · Practice Roll 9 · Hear Spanish → English
Press Hear Spanish. Listen carefully to the complete Spanish message, then type its natural English meaning. Focus: Hear a greeting and introduction.
Lesson 2 · Practice Roll 10 · English → Spanish
Say: “Hello, Ana. My name is Luis.”
Lesson 2 · Practice Roll 11 · Spanish → English
Buenas noches, Luis. Mi nombre es Ana. Es posible.
Lesson 2 · Practice Roll 12 · English → Spanish
Say: “Good afternoon, Ana. My name is Luis. Is it possible? Yes. Goodbye.”
Lesson 3
Start with the first half of the Spanish alphabet, A through M. The pronunciation column is a simple sound-out reminder; use Hear for the Spanish letter name.
This is an English-speaking learner's guide to the Spanish alphabet. The pronunciation column is only a simple sound-out reminder. Every Hear button uses the approved Ana María ElevenLabs recording for the actual Spanish letter name.
These are letter names used for spelling. A letter can make different sounds inside real Spanish words, so word pronunciation will continue to be taught in context.
| Letter | Pronunciation | Hear Spanish |
|---|---|---|
| A | ah | |
| B | beh | |
| C | seh | |
| D | deh | |
| E | eh | |
| F | EH-feh | |
| G | heh | |
| H | AH-cheh | |
| I | ee | |
| J | HOH-tah | |
| K | kah | |
| L | EH-leh | |
| M | EH-meh |
Use A–M as a reference, not a test. When you are comfortable finding these letter names, continue to Lesson 4 for N–Z.
Lesson 4
Continue the Spanish alphabet
Continue with the remaining Spanish letter names. Notice ñ as its own letter. Use Hear, then say the letter name aloud before moving on.
| Letter | Pronunciation | Hear Spanish |
|---|---|---|
| N | EH-neh | |
| Ñ | EH-nyeh | |
| O | oh | |
| P | peh | |
| Q | koo | |
| R | EH-rreh | |
| S | EH-seh | |
| T | teh | |
| U | oo | |
| V | OO-beh | |
| W | DOH-bleh OO | |
| X | EH-kees | |
| Y | yeh | |
| Z | SEH-tah |
Now use the full alphabet as a spelling reference. You do not need to memorize it as an isolated list; return to these two alphabet lessons whenever a spelling task requires a letter name.
Lesson 5
What You'll Learn
The alphabet becomes useful when you can ask someone how a name or word is written. You will learn the question ¿Cómo se escribe? and the answering pattern Se escribe…
Then you will use Spanish letter names to give the spelling.
New Expression
In English: How is it spelled? / How do you spell it?
Learn this first as a complete conversational question. The opening ¿ tells the reader from the beginning that a question is coming.
Phonetic: KOH-moh seh ehs-KREE-beh
Notice: cómo means how here and carries a written accent because it is being used as a question word.
New Expression
In English: It is spelled…
Use Se escribe… to begin your answer, then say the Spanish names of the letters.
Phonetic: seh ehs-KREE-beh
For example, Ana can be given as: Se escribe a, ene, a.
Build & Connect
You now have both sides of a useful exchange:
¿Cómo se escribe? — How is it spelled?
Se escribe… — It is spelled…
The first expression asks for spelling. The second introduces the spelling response. After Se escribe…, use the letter names you just learned.
Lesson 5 · Practice Roll 13 · English → Spanish
Ask: “How is it spelled?”
Lesson 5 · Practice Roll 14 · Spanish → English
Se escribe a, ene, a.
Lesson 5 · Practice Roll 15 · Hear Spanish → English

Lesson 5 · Practice Roll 19 · English → Spanish
Say: “Good evening. My name is Luis. How is it spelled? It is spelled L-U-I-S. Goodbye.”
Lesson 6
What You'll Learn
You already know Mi nombre es…. Now you will learn another very common way to give your name and the natural question that goes with it.
The important skill is to connect the meanings: ¿Cómo te llamas? asks someone's name, and Me llamo… gives it.
New Expression
In English: my name is… / I am called…
Me llamo + name is a natural way to tell someone your name. Do not force the two Spanish words into a word-for-word English sentence; learn what the expression does.
Phonetic: meh YAH-moh
Example: Me llamo Ana. — My name is Ana.
New Expression
In English: What is your name?
This is the natural question that leads to Me llamo…. Spanish begins with cómo — literally how — while natural English normally asks What is your name?
Phonetic: KOH-moh teh YAH-mahs
This is another reason to learn meaning and use, rather than translating each word separately.
Build & Connect
Put the question and answer together:
¿Cómo te llamas?
Me llamo Ana.
You can now ask for a name and give one. You also have two ways to state your own name: Mi nombre es Ana. and Me llamo Ana.
Spanish ↔ English Comparison
In English:What is your name? / My name is [NAME].
The natural Spanish expressions do not map word-for-word to the natural English expressions. Learn the conversational relationship first; the formal grammar explanation for reflexive and pronominal forms comes later.
Keep in mind:This prevents misleading literal translation.

Ask: “What is your name?”
Lesson 6 · Practice Roll 21 · Spanish → English

Lesson 7
What You'll Learn
Now you will learn how Spanish makes it clear that you are speaking directly to a particular person. You can use the person's name or a respectful form such as señor or señora.
Listen for the small pause around the name or title. In writing, that pause is normally shown with a comma.
New Pattern
A person's name can come at the beginning or the end when you speak directly to them:
Ana, buenos días.
Buenos días, Ana.
The name identifies who you are addressing. It is separated from the rest of the message by a natural pause and, in writing, a comma.
New Spanish
In English: sir / Mr.
Use señor as a respectful way to address a man or as a title with a surname when appropriate.
Phonetic: seh-NYOR
Example: Buenos días, señor.
New Spanish
In English: ma'am / Mrs. / Ms. in respectful address
Use señora as a respectful way to address a woman. The exact English title depends on the situation, so focus on its respectful function.
Phonetic: seh-NYOH-rah
Example: Buenas tardes, señora.
Good to Know
don is a traditional respectful form used before a man's first name in many Spanish-speaking communities.
Phonetic: dohn
For now, recognition is enough. You do not need to make it part of your active vocabulary yet.
Good to Know
doña is the corresponding traditional respectful form used before a woman's first name.
Phonetic: DOHN-yah
For now, recognize it when you hear or see it; active use can come later as you gain more cultural context.
Build & Connect
Combine greetings you already know with a name or respectful form:
Hola, Ana.
Buenos días, señor.
Buenas tardes, señora.
The greeting carries the message; the name or title tells who is being addressed. This makes your Spanish sound like a real interaction rather than a list of memorized words.
