Ten phrases

- Una cerveza, por favor. — A beer, please.
- Otra ronda, por favor. — Another round, please.
- ¡Salud! — Cheers!
- ¿Está libre? — Is this seat free?
- ¿Dónde está el baño? — Where is the toilet?
- ¿A qué hora empieza el partido? — What time does the match start?
- ¡Gol! ¡Golazo! — Goal! What a goal!

Say «por favor» and «gracias» and you are already halfway there. Spaniards greet people a lot, so a simple «¡Hola!» when you walk in is always a good start.
