Lesson Vocabulary & Phrases
Hola
OH-lah
Hi
¿Estoy hablando
es-TOY ah-BLAHN-doh
Am I talking
💬 In Spanish, [hablar con] means both "talk to" and "speak with." You can reuse the same pattern with people or businesses: [¿Estoy hablando con el restaurante?] or [¿Estoy hablando con Ana?].

KON
With
¿Estoy hablando con
es-TOY ah-BLAHN-doh KON
Am I speaking with
💬 [Hablar con] is the usual way to say "speak with" or "talk to." The [estoy hablando] part is the "am I ...-ing" pattern, like [¿estoy llamando muy tarde?] for "am I calling too late?".

Yes
Buen día
BWEHN DEE-ah
Good day
🇲🇽 In Mexico, [buen día] sounds polite and natural in customer-service situations like calling a restaurant. It is a bit warmer and more local than a textbook-style [buenos días] in some contexts.
See breakdown →¿En qué puedo ayudarle?
en keh pweh-doh ah-yoo-dar-leh
How can I help you?
💬 [Ayudarle] includes [le], "to you," attached to the end of the verb: literally "help you." You can swap that ending for others: [ayudarme] "help me," [ayudarnos] "help us."
🇲🇽 This is a polite, standard line from staff to a customer. The [le] matches respectful [usted] speech, which is normal with strangers in Mexico.
See breakdown →Quisiera
kee-see-EHR-ah
I wish
💬 [Quisiera] is often used where English would say "I'd like" or "I want to," not just "I wish." It softens the request, so [quisiera hacer una reservación] sounds more polite than a blunt [quiero hacer una reservación].
