Quickly Learn Spanish

Quickly Learn Spanish - Informal vs Formal

If you want to quickly learn Spanish, you need to know that unlike English, Spanish has a distinction for addressing individuals. And this distinction is based on the status of the individual with respect to your family, society, workplace, profession, and so on. TĂș is an informal form of address used with daily interaction with close friends, children, your peers, and acquaintances. Usted is a formal form of address and is used in formal situations or occurrences where the person is older than you, at a higher socio-economic statussuch as a judge, doctor, or professor, or if you are meeting someone for the first time. As a rule of thumb, you should use Usted more often especially when you are just starting to learn Spanish quickly.
