First you need to know your numbers.

Another thing you will need to know is how to tell time.

1:00- es la una (en punto)                    7:00- son las siete (en punto)
2:00- son las dos (en punto) 8:00- son las ocho (en punto)
3:00- son las tres (en punto)                 9:00- son las nueve (en punto)
4:00- son las cuatro (en punto) 10:00- son las diez (en punto)
5:00- son las cinco (en punto) 11:00- son las once (en punto)
6:00- son las seis (en punto) 12:00- son las doce (en punto)
  
                      12:00 AM- es la medianoche (it's midnight)
                      12:00 PM- es la mediodia (it's noon)


:05- y cinco           :45- menos cuarto
:15- y cuarto          :55- menos cinco

EX: 5:05- son las cinco y cinco
      5:15- son las cinco y cuarto
      5:45- son las seis menos cuarto
                          6   minus   15
      5:55- son las seis menos cinco
                          6   minus   5
       4:10- son las cuatro y diez
        8:20- son las ocho y veinte
       10:40- son las diez y cuarenta





...de la mañana (in the morning)   ...y cuarto (quarter after)        ...en punto (on the dot)
...de la tarde (in the afternoon)     ...menos cuarto (quarter of)
...de la noche (in the evening)      ...y media (half past)
Imagine you were stuck in Mexico and you needed to catch the next train out of there. Your train leaves at 1:00, but you don't know what time it is. You would have to ask someone what the current time is..

Greetings and Goodbyes in Español

Posted by True Black in SP1-005 on
Isn’t it an awkward moment when someone tries to be polite and greet him or herself but you can’t understand what they’re saying because they’re speaking Spanish? Well, now you won’t have that problem because I’m teaching you what they’re saying.

Some basic greetings are hola, buenos días, buenas tardes, buenas nóche, cómo te llamas, qué tal, and adios.

 

Hola in English is hello

 

Buenos días in English good morning

 

Buenas tardes in English is good afternoon

 

Buenas nóche in English is good night

 

Cómo te llmas in English is what’s your name

 

Qué tal in engles is how are you

 

Adios in engles is goodbye




Imagine there is a new kid in your school who manly speaks Spanish. To be polite you might want to greet yourself in Spanish.
