Learning some Spanish

Jerez is a great place for a holiday and to have fun at a wedding. But you will find that a lot of shops, pubs and restaurants off the main streets may not understand English. This will become clearer the more rural the location. The great thing is that people are very welcoming, friendly and patient. Learning some basic phrases will make sure that you have the best time as you order a drink or ask for directions. Below are some common terms to learn – but checkout some of the resources to learn a bit more – there’s still plenty of time.
