A student learning Spanish is learning the grammar and mechanics of the Spanish language. Often, the everyday phrases that we use in normal conversational speaking is never touched upon or even introduced. A pamphlet depicting these everyday phrases would not only increase the Spanish student's vocabulary, but allow them to be able to speak in a more conversational tone to someone who actually speaks Spanish. This would then liberate the Spanish student from book work to conversations and actual speaking.

When learning Spanish, it is extremely important to learn the words, but after that, you must learn to put them together. Someone who knows lots of Spanish vocabulary words will still have far less luck communicating than someone who knows key Spanish phrases. Spanish phrases are words strung together and spoken as they would be by a native Spanish speaker. For example, a English speaker might say "Mi nombre es Jane," which is technically correct, but someone who knew Spanish phrases would say "Me llamo Jane," which is more fluid and flowing.

Spanish verbs are both what makes the Spanish language beautiful and also what makes the language quite difficult to learn. Compared to English, Spanish has many more verbs. In Spanish, many of the phrases that we use in English have one exact verb that be used in their stead in Spanish. This makes the Spanish language more versatile and exciting. There are more ways to express yourself. However, Spanish is a difficult language to learn because each verb has many different conjugations based upon the subject and the tense that the verb is being used in. If language learners can learn these conjugations, then they will be speaking excellent Spanish in no time.
A student learning Spanish can often struggle the most with grammar. A pamphlet that has information about Spanish grammar can help someone to have a simple guide on understanding how grammar works in the Spanish language. Many people do not want to use a full Spanish book to gain information about grammar. A small pamphlet can contain all of the most important information about Spanish grammar. This will be small enough that a student can keep it with them for easy reference if needed.

Learning a new language can be overwhelming. Tens of thousands of new words reshape the way a student thinks, communicates and expresses themselves. A simple pamphlet can be extremely rewarding in that it creates a strong foundation for the concepts necessary to learn Spanish. Verb conjugation and the alphabet are two skills that are vitally necessary to learn Spanish. A pamphlet can concisely cover these two topics, as well as others, but can also be a portable resource that can be used whenever it is needed.
