First milestone in Spanish

A friendly review of basic greetings, introductions, and daily routines to help parents interact with their children in Spanish.

What you'll learn

¡Buenos días!
Good morning!
A standard morning greeting.
¿Cómo te llamas?
What is your name?
The most common way to ask a child their name.
El desayuno está listo.
Breakfast is ready.
Use 'está' because being ready is a temporary state.
¿De qué color es esto?
What colour is this?
A great question for learning together.
Ten cuidado.
Be careful.
A vital command for parents to know.
Esta es mi mamá.
This is my mum.
'Esta' is used for feminine subjects.
Te quiero.
I love you.
Commonly used for friends and family members.
¡Hasta luego!
See you later!
A natural way to say goodbye.

Tildi plays every phrase out loud, tests you in five-minute lessons and builds them into bedtime stories from your own picture books.

Desayuno

Breakfast

The first meal of the day.

Color

Colour

Spelled the same as in English but pronounced with an accent on the 'o'.

Cuidado

Care/Caution

Used in the phrase 'ten cuidado'.

Mamá

Spanish uses two verbs for 'to be'. 'Ser' is for permanent traits (like who someone is), while 'Estar' is for temporary states (like being ready).

Ser (Identity)	Es	Esta es mi mamá.

To say 'my', use 'mi'. It does not change based on gender.

Hola, ¡buenos días!

Hello, good morning!

Combining a greeting with a time-of-day salutation.

Te quiero, mamá.

I love you, mum.

A sweet daily phrase.

¡Adiós! ¡Hasta luego!

A full way to say farewell.
