A great way to start learning Spanish is to learn about the things in your day-to-day tasks. Everyone goes to the bathroom, and so this article should help everyone. We always learn how to say, “Where is the bathroom?” (¿Dónde está el baño?) out of necessity, but what about when you are in your home, talking to your kids or other family members?
Here in this article, we help you learn about the shower, bath, toilet, and at the sink. Let us know in the comments some words we missed, and we’ll add them into the tables below!
