We have created a list of phrases for you to learn to help you get the most out of your holiday in Mexico. Although you can get by with English, as the majority of people speak at least basic English, we know through experience that learning the basics of the local language can greatly enhance your experience with any new culture.
Our basic phrases cover:
Greetings and polite phrases,
Travel basics and practical questions,
Food and dining,
Days of the week,
and Numbers.
There are three columns: English, Spanish, and pronunciation to help you understand how to say the word without hearing it.
Feel free to download the list to your phone or print it off so you can easily access these phrases on the go during your holiday with us at Christmas4all.travel 2025 hosted in Puerto Escondido, Mexico.
