To start conversing in any language, few common words should be learned to understand or speak that language. Whenever you travel or do trading in a Spanish speaking region, you might come across non English speaking Spanish people, hence few words are important to understand and speak Spanish. To break the conversation and communicate with the Spanish person one has to understand the Spanish greetings and the day to day words used in conversation.
