Spanish 101: “¡Yo encanto Miami!”

Spanish 101: “¡Yo encanto Miami!”

Speaking Spanish at WMC 2010

Spanish 101: “¡Yo encanto Miami!!”

Although the Spanish influence in Miami is undeniable, like most exotic places, the residents speak at least a little English. However, here are a few Spanish phrases that might prove useful during your “dias y noches calientes” of WMC! And, even if everyone does speak English, try out your Spanish to make your Miami stay a little more authentic.

  • The obvious: “Hola, adios, por favor, gracias, de nada” for Hello, Goodbye, Please, Thank you, You’re Welcome. It’s always important to be polite when you’re un turista!
  • When renting a beach chair for the day: “¿Senor, cuanto cuesta una tumbona?”
  • When giving your taxi driver directions: “Senor, necesitamos ir a  ________________________ por favor” (You might fill in the words “la playa” for beach, “el club” for club….)
  • If you need help in any situation: “Necesito ayuda porque ____________________” (You might fill in the words “mi amiga esta enferma” for “my friend is sick” or “estamos perdidos” for “we are lost”)
  • When asking where something is located: “¿Donde es el club Space?”  “¿Donde es Collins Avenue?”
  • When you feel inspired by the hot Miami WMC nights: “¡Yo encanto los DJs a WMC!” or “¡Me gusta las noches del Miami durante el WMC!”

If  you aren’t feeling quite so confident with your Spanish speaking skills, don’t worry; during WMC everyone does speak the same language: Music.
