Every year millions of people travel to Spanish speaking countries and every year hundreds, if not thousands, have some kind of an emergency whilst visiting those countries. In the vast majority of those cases there has been someone available that could speak both languages.

However, there are always going to be cases where the language barrier will cause delays to treatment or to gaining essential help. It is in these types of situations that it would be wise to be properly prepared with a knowledge of some emergency Spanish sentences.
