¡Hola! Let's Learn Our El Alfabeto!

Posted by Alexis Dean in SP1-005 on
Knowing the Spanish alphabet is just as important as knowing the English Alphabet. It has many uses and many reasons. I am going to teach you how to be able to spell out words in both English and Spanish and so that you can easily interpret what is being said through spelling. Use the chart below to see how the Alphabet is written in Spanish.

In the video below, we are demonstrating how when you are meeting someone who is very fluent in Spanish and you want to learn the Alphabet, you guys can study together and learn the Alphabet the right way.

Tu v.s usted

Posted by Penelope Deoliveira in SP1-005 on
In spanish convertations, keep in mind how to show proper respect to others.
 Tu is used for a causal way of talking, were as usted is used in a more formal way.
Tu you would basically use when you are talking to peers, friends, or anyone the same age as you. Usted is used when you talk to someone with an important title (say, the president) an adult, or someone older than you.

Here's an example between to friends-

SPANISH
​Amy- "Hola! Como estas (tu)?
Ellen- "Hola! Moy Bien, gracias. Y tu?"
Amy- " Mas o menos, gracias."
Ellen- "Adios!"
Amy- "Adios!"

ENGLISH
Amy- " Hello! How are you doing?"
Ellen- Hello! Very good, thank you. And you?"
Amy- " Regular, thanks."
Ellen-" Good bye!"
Amy- " Goodbye!"

Now lets see an example of a more formal converstaion between a girl and her mothers friend:

SPANSIH
Girl- " Hola, Como esta ( Ud.)?"

Girl- "Muy bien, gracias."
Woman- " Adios!"

Girl- " Hello, how are you miss?"
Woman- " Very good, thank you. And you?"

The weather

Posted by Penelope Deoliveira in SP1-005 on
Its important to learn the weather in spanish. Here's a lesson to help:
When you want to know the temperture, you would say- " Que tiempo?"
Then, someone would reply: " Hace......" (or, it is.)
When watching the news, you also need to know if its going to be cold, warm, hot, or freezing:
"El calor" = Hot
" Frio"= Cold
"Sol"= sunny
" humedo"=humid
"lloviendo"= rainy
" Viento"=windy
" Nevando"=snow
