Telephone Spanish
Spanish Video Lesson – Telephone Spanish
Spanish Telephone Vocabulary
Whether or not you live in a Spanish-speaking country, this vocabulary could be helpful to you. When you are trying to make friends who speak Spanish, it is helpful to be able to speak with them on the telephone. You can meet new people and practice what you’ve learned with Visual Link Spanish on Facebook. If you end up doing some video chat with someone on Facebook or through another company, you could practice your telephone Spanish with them on Facebook. It would probably be even better if you could practice using a real telephone.
Here is the vocabulary from the video:
| Whom do you like to speak with on the (by) phone? | ¿Con quién le gusta hablar por teléfono? |
| I like to speak with… | Me gusta hablar con… |
| …my friend | …mi amigo/a |
| …my mom | …mi mamá |
| …my wife | …mi esposa |
| …my husband | …mi esposo |
| …my girlfriend/fiancé | …mi novia |
| …my boyfriend/fiancé | …mi novio |
| Hello | ¿Aló? |
| Hello (in Mexico) | ¿Bueno? |
| With whom am I speaking? (Who is this?) | ¿Con quién hablo? |
| (someone calls) Is Dave there? (This is he. Speaking.) | Él habla |
| This is she. (She’s speaking) | Ella habla. |
| How can I help you? | ¿En qué puedo servirle?/ ¿En qué puedo ayudarle? |
Hopefully you enjoyed this video lesson. Dave also taught you about having a fake conversation. If you didn’t notice, he faked a conversation with his grandma. That might be a funny way for you to get out of a conversation you don’t really want to be in. Remember, just because you speak Spanish doesn’t mean you always have to use it in real conversations ha.

This is super useful! Great post – I’ve always found it daunting to speak Spanish over the phone. I’ve been learning Spanish with an Eton Institute e-book which is awesome as well. Thanks for the tips!
Hey i love this article I’m trying to create a Spanish learning blog and you guys are a great model and resource. This is a good topic and this made me realize how much i depend on body language when i speak haha.
Learning different languages is an advantage. You’ll be able to talk different people and understand them.
Yeah it’s true. It is your advantage in learning more languages. Such example, if you will study abroad and travel.
