Spanish Phrases for Stews

At Glossolalia we can
specifically train you in
your niche service area. It’s
our speciality to teach you
vocabulary for your speciality.

Ask yourself, what do I need
to say? And in which language
do I need to say it? We know
of course that some yachts
don’t want you to be able to
speak the language of the
owner specifically at their
request for their own privacy,
but knowing a few phrases in
the language of your guests
can make the difference in
your tips at the end of the
charter. And as all the best
crew know: “Discretion is
the better part of valour”,
“La discreción es la
mejor consejera”.

On board you may find

yourself using these phrases:

• Welcome onboard -
  Bienvenidos a bordo


• Good morning sir, madam –
  Buenos días Señor / Señora


• How can I help you? –

• May I fill your Champagne
  flute? - Le relleno la copa?


• Water glass? Un vaso de
