南美洲大部分的國家(委內瑞拉、哥倫比亞、厄瓜多、秘魯、智利、阿根廷、烏拉圭、巴拉圭、玻利維亞)都講 西班牙文 ,可以通用,而且,他們也都只講西班牙文,除了非常熱門的旅遊地點之外,其他地方很難找到會講英文的人。我從秘魯北邊入境時,發現連海關人員都不會講英文,真的很誇張。
想要去南美旅行的話,最好學一些基本的西班牙文!
發音小技巧
西班牙文很簡單,字母怎麼拼就怎麼發音。
最需要注意的是R這個字母,與英文不同,西班牙文的R不是發「兒」的音, 舌頭不用捲起來,只要輕輕的碰一下上顎就可以了,譬如:西班牙文的「ra」講起來應該要像英文的「la」。
只有美國人才會堅持用英文發音來講西班牙文,而拉丁美洲人並不喜歡美國人,所以,如果不想被當成美國人、被騙錢的話,就千萬不要把R發成「兒」的音。
一、 西班牙文 的打招呼用語

Hola是最基本的打招呼用語,和中文的你好、英文的hello是相同的意思和用法。遇到人,說hola準沒錯。

Cómo estás就和英文的how are you是相同的意思、相同的用法。
與人見面時,一定要記得先問候對方,hola下一句就該接著cómo estás,有時候也沒有真的要聽對方的回答,但這就是個習慣。
*西班牙文中,問句的標點符號很有趣,除了句尾有問號之外,句首也要寫一個倒著的問號。

南美人很重視禮貌,碰到人就要打招呼,hola是比較輕鬆的用語,更規矩一點的話則要說「早安」、「午安」、「晚安」,依照每天不同的時間段變換。
譬如說:下午的時候進到一個商店買東西,見到裡面的店員,通常不會說「hola」,而是會說「buenas tardes」。
Buenas noches也可以用在說再見的時候,有「祝你有個好夜晚」的意思,睡覺之前互道晚安也是說「buenas noches」。
到了南美的國家,最好不要隨便叫人amigo。

印象中,墨西哥人很喜歡用amigo這個字,也就是「朋友」的意思,不論是誰都叫amigo,不過,這並不適用於整個拉丁美洲。
在南美的國家,如果用amigo來稱呼非自己朋友的人,是很沒有禮貌的,正確的用法應該要稱人為「先生」、「女士」、「小姐」,尤其是對不認識的人和年紀比自己大的人。
Señor用於所有成年的男性,雖然聽起來有點老,但差不多二十歲以上的男性都可以這樣叫。
Señora和señorita用於女性,分界點大概在三十、三十五歲,有時候不太好判斷,對我來說,看起來年紀比我大的女人,我就會成稱呼她為señora,而對那些中年的婦女,只要比自己年輕的都會叫señorita。
二、 簡單的單字

「是」和「不是」這兩個字是去任何國家都必學的,西班牙文的是與否簡單易懂,點頭是、搖頭不是。
值得注意的是,si也有「如果」的意思,不過這個很好分辨,代表「是」的話通常是單一的字,簡潔有力,而代表「如果」的意思則會有一整句話,譬如:si quieres tomar el bus……(如果你想要搭公車的話……) 。

Bien這個字可以用來形容人、事、物,而且範圍很廣,只要是有「好」的意思就行,萬能!
對於cómo estás這個問句,最常見也最簡單的回答就是bien。
三、 請、謝謝、對不起

Por favor直接翻成英文就是for a favor,也就是please的意思。和中文一樣,講西班牙文也要注意禮貌,常常說「請」。
遇到是與否的問題,如果回答是肯定的話,一概用「si, por favor」。

謝謝是最常用的字,承上,遇到是與否的問題,如果回答是否定的話,則用「no, gracias」。
*西班牙人與拉丁美洲人講的西班牙文最明顯的差別是c的發音,西班牙人會把舌頭放在上下齒中間,發出英文「th」的音,拉丁美洲的人則是和英文的c發音相同。

Perdón就是英文pardon me的意思,中文比較接近「不好意思」,也會用在小型的「對不起」,像是走路時撞到其他人,就可以說perdón,並不是一個正式的、嚴重的道歉。
Disculpe是excuse me的意思,可以用在「借過」的時候,或是打斷別人說話時。
這兩個字適用的時機不太一樣,但也有重複,很難解釋清楚,大概只能生活在西班牙文的環境中,自己體會,才會明白。
四、 西班牙文 中的請問⋯⋯

Dónde和英文的where用法相同,要詢問某個地點在哪裡就用這個字。正確的句型比較複雜,只是旅遊生存的話,知道dónde就可以了。

Cuánto和英文的how much/many一樣,旅行時非常實用,最常用在買東西時,想知道價錢的話,就問「cuánto cuesta」。
五、 我不懂

如果聽不懂對方講的話,可以直接說「no entiendo」,告訴他「我不明白你在說什麼」,並找其他人幫助,避免誤會。
只學以上的幾個字也許不足以與人溝通,但講出來至少能讓當地人有點友善的感覺,比什麼都不會要來得好。

Amazing blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any recommendations? Many thanks!
