Spanish Phrase Book

This page is set up with an eye toward someday creating a physical phrase book. Add phrases or vocabulary you find yourself wishing you know how to say in Spanish.

Snippets of phrases are useful too.

Add translations if you know them.

For clarity, I suggest typing English in bold, Spanish in normal text.
