the essentials in brief
Actually, you don't necessarily need to be able to speak Spanish in Spain, as you can get through everyday life relatively well with English or German. The Spaniards have experienced many cultures and have had close ties to the Anglo-American world through emigration, the media and upbringing. So you will always find Spanish people who understand you. In the smaller villages, communication works with the help of sign language or the national language.
In the following we have put together the most important things for you. Even if the pronunciation may not be perfect - just give it a try, you will see how pleased your efforts are and how much you may learn more language skills.
