*When learning to speak a new language your going to make mistakes, mispronounce words but don't be scared to try the locals will not think less of you they will help you often and will like the effort * (in my experience anyway )
 * Another tip I was once given that I found/find helpful (I was first told this one in Germany ) is Watch a tv program like the Simpsons and find an episode you know well then watch in Spanish
* Watching a program with the sub titles in English and the program in Spanish also helps some people 
* Or children's tv programs like Sponge bob as the Spanish will be simpler but it helps it sink in  
*And in Spanish unlike English they would say House white so Casa Blanca not Blanca Casa as you would say if you used English Grammar  rules ​
* Some people also I am advised have the subtitles in Spanish as well as watching in Spanish as it can help them
*But what ever method you use have fun with it 
​*If the shop keeper is Spanish and Speaking English when serving you don't be scared to ask them to speak in Spanish as it will help you learn they will be happy to and pleased your making an effort (in my experience ) and if you return to the shop often they may speak in Spanish (which sounds strange but a lot in tourist areas/areas with many British people  speak in English to Brits automatically ) to you but be ready to swap to English or help with pronunciations or both

So when your ,moving your removals company needs an accurate inventory but why?
Well firstly it helps us know what will be on the load, what the volume is, what the rough weight is , whether there will be any items needing special handling or equipment etc 

(but don't worry an inventory is easy to write/do )

How to write an inventory
Go room by room and write a list of the items your taking 

• ​EG living room , Sofas ( so your taking your sofa is it a 2 seater? or a 3 seater? or a 4 seater? or a corner sofa ? is it a recliner ?(if a recliner is it electric or manual ) so if it is a 2 seater and 3 seater sofa for example write 1 x 2 seater 1 x 3 seater sofa (does the sofa dismantle ?)
• And I don't mean 1 quilt 2 pillows just for example 3 boxes bedroom items (and the box size ) (And once done just group the boxes together on the list so eg 20 boxes Small 15 medium and 5 large (but please label the boxes contents (see our tips page for more advice )
• While writing your inventory make notes on any special handling instructions EG glass doors on the Cabinet or glass shelves (that way we know to bring additional removals blankets  
• Regarding beds there are a few questions we would/will ask firstly size so single , double etc , secondly the type eg, frame bed or devan or bunk beds etc , thirdly do they dismantle/ while they be dismantled if they can be dismantled (beds are bulky after all and take a large amount of cubic metres up for what they are (so if dismantle-able the please do it )(and unless otherwise stated we assume the mattress will be with the bed)
• When listing your TV please indication it's size eg 42 inches (and unless otherwise stated we will assume it is a flat screen so if it is a curved TV or a big back TV etc please advise that on the inventory )
• Bikes, IF you include bikes on your inventory please advise if they are adult bikes or childrens bike, whether they are lose or boxed

But how do I work out how many boxes ?
well that can be simple find your self a box the size you want to pack for your move pack it then, pick it up (to ensure your haven't over loaded it ) and go well I got x in that box and have y left so I will need z boxes in total (we allow with boxes a slight error rate so if it is 100 boxes you booked we allow a 5% error so will allow up to 105 give or take )
