If you are looking for a simple phrase to help you start forming sentences in Spanish, try using the word QUISIERA (pronounced KEE –SEE- AIR –AH) which means, “I would like…”

Here are some examples to get you started!

Spanish

I would like water.
Quisiera agua.
I would like a hug.
Quisiera un abrazo.
I would like to dance.
Quisiera bailar.
I would like an apple.
Quisiera una manzana.
I would like the blue one.
Quisiera el azul.
I would like a spoon please.
Quisiera una cuchara por favor.
I would like to practice more Spanish please!
Quisiera practicar mas español por favor!
Don’t forget to add POR FAVOR at the end          and you’ve got a full sentence in
SPANISH!!

Have fun playing with verbs and nouns and encourage a conversation with your child by asking them what THEY would like too!          (i.e. QUISIERAS un abrazo? = Would you like a hug?)
