January 31, 2022 in Trip Planning

Heading to Los Cabos doesn't require fluency in Spanish, but knowing a few basic words and phrases can enhance your experience, especially if you plan to explore beyond your Sun Cabo Vacations villa. Understanding the pronunciation of vowels and some trickier consonants can aid in communication, with vowels having consistent sounds and some consonants, like 'B' and 'V', pronounced similarly. Key phrases such as "Please" (Por favor), "Thank you" (Gracias), and "I need help" (Necesito ayuda), along with terms for common places and items, can be particularly useful. Familiarity with words for meals, common foods, and basic queries like "Where is the bathroom?"
