learning Spanish With Octavius/Joe

Learning Months

Understanding months isn't very complicated. In here i will first explain what months are .
Obviously the English months began with January end with December. I'm going to write the month out and English. Then translate to Spanish.
January-Enero
February-Febrero
March-Marzo
April-Abril
May-Maya
June-Junio
July-Julio
August-Augusto
September-Septembre
October-Octubre
November-Noviembre
December-Decimbre
Ex. fecha de hoy es trienta de octubre dos mill diez . - Today is october 30th, 2010.

Telling time


The way I would teach time in Spanish is to show my students an example of the clock in English and show them the same clock only in Spanish then I would make them solve the rest of the problem with the information of Spanish numbers that they know. I also would use hints of what stay the same and what changes.

Example

1:00= es la una
1:10pm= Es la una de la tarde
1:10am= Es la una y diez de la mañana
2-12= son las dos-doce

see I leave a hint to leave the"es la"(only use this for one) by bolding it and I also bold "de la""son las"(use for 2-12) and "y ___ de la". I would also put pictures and explain more that once.
