Spanish Conversation Rescue Card.
For adult beginners who freeze when a reply is unfamiliar. Ask for help and keep a simple exchange moving. You do not need to remember every line; keep the card nearby.
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| Perdón. | Excuse me. / Sorry. |
| Estoy aprendiendo español. | I am learning Spanish. |
| No entiendo. | I do not understand. |
| ¿Puede repetir, por favor? | Can you repeat, please? |
| ¿Puede hablar más despacio, por favor? | Can you speak more slowly, please? |
| ¿Qué significa esta palabra? | What does this word mean? |
| Sí. / No. | Yes. / No. |
| Gracias. | Thank you. |
The questions use polite singular address (usted), which suits people you do not know.
Keep it nearby.
Choose one phrase. Read it aloud twice, cover it and try again. Revisit it before an everyday conversation.

| Server: ¿Algo más? | Anything else? |
| Learner: No entiendo. ¿Puede repetir, por favor? | I do not understand. Can you repeat, please? |
| Server: ¿Algo más? | Anything else? |
| Learner: No, gracias. | No, thank you. |
Task: read both parts. Cover the learner’s first reply and recall it. Change roles and repeat. You are practising a request for help, not testing whether you understand every possible reply.
Before, during and after the exchange.
The checklist on page 2 of the card:
- Choose one useful question or request.
- Keep a rescue phrase where you can see it.
- Ask for repetition or slower speech if needed.
- Say thank you.
- Write one phrase to practise later.

My 10 Minute Spanish Practice Planner.
For busy adult beginners who need a manageable routine. Choose one everyday situation, two phrases and a small practice slot.
Page 1: your practice setup and week.
| My situation or goal | for example, ordering a drink |
|---|---|
| My usual practice time | for example, after breakfast |
| Phrase 1 and its meaning | your phrase |
| Phrase 2 and its meaning | your phrase |
Below the setup, a seven-row table for the week: day, date, phrase or task, and what you recalled or need to repeat. The last line is for your next review date and one small change.
Make the plan your own.
Choose a situation that matters.
A café, a greeting, a question you expect to ask.
Add two phrases and their meanings.
Take them from a free lesson or the starter plan.
Set a practice slot and a review date.
Repeat the hard phrases on another day.

03 · How to use the planner
A flexible ten-minute routine.
2 minutes
Read your two phrases, check their meaning and say them aloud.
3 minutes
Cover the Spanish, recall it, check and try the difficult phrase again.
3 minutes
Use the phrases in a short role play; practise both roles.
2 minutes
Record the attempt and choose a phrase to revisit on another day.
Ten minutes is a planning aid, not a promise about learning speed. If ten minutes does not fit, use a shorter slot and one phrase. Missed a day? Continue at your next available practice time.
Worked example: prepare a café exchange.
Goal: ask for coffee and request repetition if a reply is unclear.
| Phrase 1: Un café, por favor. | A coffee, please. |
| Phrase 2: ¿Puede repetir, por favor? | Can you repeat, please? |
Practice slot: ten minutes after breakfast.
| Review day | Planned task and note |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Read and practise the two phrases. Note which one needs another attempt. |
| Day 3 | Cover both phrases, recall them and check the café dialogue. |
| Day 6 | Repeat both roles; record whether you needed the example or a small prompt. |
An illustrative practice plan, not a learner’s result.
