Galician for Beginners
Practical Learning with SynapseLingo
About this book
E-book with audio access & learning software via link.
This e-book is your clear, practical start into Galician (Galego) — designed for English-speaking learners. You begin with the core sounds and accurate pronunciation, then build step by step with essential words, phrases and short dialogues for daily life, travel, food, family and getting around. Each unit follows a simple, repeatable pattern: brief English explanation, compact vocabulary list, model dialogue, pronunciation tips, mini-exercises and a quick review to lock in progress.
Grammar is explained in a friendly, no-jargon way: word order, personal pronouns, question forms, present and past tenses, and useful patterns you can apply immediately. Culture notes help you use the language naturally and respectfully in real Galician settings — from cafés and mercados to festivals and coastal towns.
Perfect for motivated self-learners at A1–A2 level: clear goals, time-on-task tips, checklists and small tests at the end of each chapter keep you moving. Visual highlights mark key Galician words so you recognize them faster in context. Whether you plan a trip to Galicia, have Galician-speaking friends or simply want to explore a new Romance language, this book leads you to confident first conversations.
SynapseLingo stands for smart learning design: short steps, frequent review and language you can use right away. This e-book was developed with AI-assisted tools and subsequently editorially reviewed to ensure the highest learning quality.
