Feliz Día de Acción de Gracias 🦃
A few simple Spanish phrases you can use at the dinner table tonight.

Hola estudiante de Español,
Bienvenido/a a Master Spanish Weekly. The weekly newsletter helping you integrate Spanish into your daily life.
This week a couple of our students told me what has been working for them in class:
The interactive activities are helping them think in Spanish faster.
Not the long explanations. Not memorizing lists. But the moments when they actually use Spanish. Asking each other questions, reading and giving opinions, describing what they see, or reacting to something real in class.
That’s precisely how language learning should feel: small, real interactions that build confidence bit by bit.
So today’s lesson follows that same idea. Short, practical phrases you can use tomorrow at the Thanksgiving table.

These are simple things you can say naturally during dinner, nothing complicated, nothing stressful. Just useful Spanish you can use while you eat.
