Let’s Go in Spanish

“Let’s Go” is a common phrase in English which is formally used to express the desire to depart. Informally, and common among teenagers today, it is used as a term to express excitement.

How To Say Let’s Go In Spanish

In Spanish, both vamos and vámonos are used for the expression of departure. Both may be used alone or as part of a larger sentence. When vamos is used, there will typically be an “a” following it to indicate the destination, but this is not usually the case with vámonos. Here is an example of how each are used:

  • Vámonos. Estoy listo. = Let’s go. I’m ready.
  • Vamos a la fiesta. = Let’s go to the party.

As with any language, the more you practice, the more natural the various words and expressions start to feel. At Rosetta Stone we use a Dynamic Immersion® methodology that teaches you the language, beyond the words. You will be prepared to use your new language in everyday life which is the most effective way of learning. It’s not just about the features, but what you’re able to do because of them. This will enable you to handle situations in Spanish with confidence.

Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the United States and the world, and has more than 400 million speakers. This makes learning Spanish a very valuable and popular endeavor for both personal and professional reasons.

At the onset of your language journey, you’ll want to start with learning the pronunciation of some basic building blocks, such as essential words and phrases. Greetings and salutations, along with the “who, what, when, where, why,” are among the most popular.

  • Hola = Hello

  • No = No
  • ¿Quién? = Who?
  • ¿Qué? = What?
  • ¿Cuando? = When?
  • ¿Dónde? = Where?
