If you’ve ever walked through a Spanish-speaking country, you’ve probably seen signs like Prohibido el paso or Baños. These public notices are a fun and natural way to build your Spanish vocabulary.

Common Spanish Signs

• Prohibido fumar – No smoking
• Salida – Exit
• Empuje – Push
• Jale – Pull
• Baños – Restrooms
• No hay paso – Do not enter
• Entrada – Entrance

Why This Works

Signs are short, repetitive, and easy to remember. I used to take pictures of signs while traveling and review them later. It was a fun way to learn without opening a textbook.

Try doing the same next time you're abroad—or even better, test yourself with real-world vocabulary in the Lingobi app.
