Step 1
Say, "sí" for yes and "no" for no. When you say, "no" you should make the vowel as short as possible. In English, the word "no" is sometimes drawn out when pronounced. However, in Spanish it is always short. "Salud" is often used to mean "cheers" or it can also mean "bless you" for when someone sneezes.

Step 2
Use "excelente" to mean excellent. When you do not want someone to do something, say, "no hagas eso." The letter "h" is always silent in Spanish; when you say "hagas" you should pronounce it as "agas."
-
Step 3
Express "está bien" when you want to say, "that is okay" and "está correcto" when you want to say, "that is correct." Use these 2 phrases interchangeably.
-
Step 4
Learn "por favor" to say please. It is always polite to say "por favor" in various situations. "Gracias" means thank you and "de nada" means "you're welcome." Spanish people are always very polite; you should always be polite in return.

Step 5
Tell someone you are sorry by using, "lo siento" which means, "I am sorry." You can add "mucho" to "lo siento" to tell someone that are very sorry. You can also say, "Perdon" which means, "Excuse me." "No fue mi culpa" means, "I was not my fault."
