h is silent: hora o-ra, hola o-la.

r is rolled and rr even more so.

In Spanish, vowels (a, e, i, o, u) have only one sound. When you find two together, pronounce both of them in quick succession, as in aceite a-they-te.

  1. Greet people with a Buenos das or Buenas tardes on entering a lift, as its rude not to acknowledge them.
  2. Spain is not a queuing country: people do not queue in bus stops. In places such as shops, banks, markets etc, people ask quin es el ltimo? which means who is the last one?
  3. When addressing elders or people you have been just introduced to, use the formal Usted mode of address.
  4. It is normal for people to stand or sit very close to each other when talking, which may be closer than youre used to. Pulling away from your counterpart may be regarded as unfriendly.
  5. Taking up spare seats at a table thats already occupied is not common.
  6. The Spanish do not make a habit of saying please and thank you very much it is implied in the tone of voice. It is a cultural thing, so dont think they are being rude!
  7. When you enter a restaurant or a home where people are eating, its polite to say que aproveche , meaning enjoy your meal.
  8. If you receive a gift, you should open it straightaway and in front of the giver.
  9. Expect to be interrupted when speaking!
  10. Cover your shoulders and legs when visiting religious buildings.

The word for Mr is Seor (se-nyor) and for Mrs/Ms Seora (se-nyo-ra).
