Tips

  • Greet the shop assistant when you walk in. In France and Germany in particular it is expected.
  • Know your numbers. Prices are said quickly, so practise hearing them.
  • In markets, a polite question about the price is normal. Hard bargaining is not common everywhere, so read the room.

These sentences use the polite usted form, which is safe in every Spanish-speaking country. Spain says billete for ticket and bolso for bag; Latin America says boleto and bolsa or cartera.
