You comprehend ingredients and have enough of a grip on pronunciation rules to form basic statements you need on a day to day “en tarjeta” means (literally) “on card” and is a common way to ask to pay with a credit card “auga” is water and “sin gas” or “con gas” specifies flat or bubbly… “necesito un bolsa” - I need a bag… “Para aqui”/“Para llevar” are for here or to go… “Cuanto Cuesta X” - How much does X cost… “Donde son los aesos” - where are the bathrooms. “Queiro un cafe con leche de avena y dos fartóns” - I’d like a latte with oat milk and two fartóns (a light sweet pastry). That “ll” is pronounced like a “y” unless it’s catalan and you have a break dot like “paral•lel”. “Buena dia”/“Bon dia” - Good day. “Peligro” - danger.

That sort of basic shit - you’ll pick it up quickly. You won’t be able to talk about news and shit but you can do your daily shit.
