This means "thank you". You pronounce it: GRAH-SYASS. The "r" should be rolled on the tongue.

Learn by Reading Children's Books
I fell ill on vacation and had to rest a lot, I got a few books for Spanish Children aged 6 and upwards from the library. I used a dictionary when necessary but found you don't have to need to know every word exactly to understand the meaning. In fact you are learning/absorbing words by understanding the context JUST AS YOU DID when you were learning to read English all those years ago.!I read El Ratoncito Perez (Tooth Fairy)
I am now for the first time listening to Spa
