\u00a1Hola! \u00bfQu\u00e9 tal?<\/em><\/p>\n I 2010 I wrote a small article with some expressions we use to tell stories. Let’s suppose you already know some Spanish, you master the grammar and now you want to go deeper and master Spanish conversation. Here are some very, very useful sentences you can learn (because they’re ready-made).<\/p>\n Learning tip: try and memorize small batches of five to ten small sentences or expressions every day.
