Basic Vocabulary Resource

Here's a nice little free web-based resource for you. Covers some basic words, and allows you to click and hear an audio file of the word.

As you know, I practice Spanish every day - and I've found that some basic phrases I use repeatedly:
- Greetings - Such as Hola (hello), Como estas (How are you?), Buenos dias (Good day), Buenas tardes (Good afternoon), and Buenas noches (Good night)
- Basic questions - Donde estas (Where are you?), A donde vas (Where are you going?), Que haces (What are you doing?), Como te sientes (How are you feeling?)
- Basic verbs, you - Tienes (You have___), Quieres (You want____)
- Basic verbs, me - Tengo (I have____), Quiero (I want___)
- Basic verbs, he/she - Tiene (He/she has___), Quiere (He/she wants___)

Practice these, then try using them in conversation - it's actually quite a rush!
