                                                 Por Favor en Gracias

                                                  Common Courtesy Phrases

     

      Phrases like “Please” and “Thank you” have been taught to us since we were small children. They are commonly used in everyday life and project a sense of respect and courtesy among people. Irregardless of what some might think, common courtesy is what will get you further in life, while also leaving a good impression!

      “Thank you”. We've heard and have said it ourselves. Now how do we say it in the Spanish language? There are many ways, but a short, and common way to say it is “Gracias.”. For example, if someone holds the door for you, you'd reply with “Gracias.”. “Gracias” is only one of the many ways to express gratitude in the Spanish language.

     Ever accidentally bumped into someone or tried getting their attention? These situations usually start with someone saying “Excuse me”. In English, there aren't many ways in which you can say it. This is where the complex language of Spanish comes in! There are multiple ways in which “excuse me” can be said in Spanish. And each of them have different feelings/meanings behind them.

      We've all wanted something so bad, that we've practically begged before. Or, because it is polite to your partner, you say “Please” when asking for something or someone. In spanish, “please” is said as “Por favor”. This term is always needed when wanting something. And prevents you from sounding rude. It is a less demanding word and shows your proper etiquette skills.

In order to know proper etiquette in Spanish, you will need to know:

The three ways to say "Thank You"

The three ways to say "You're welcome" and the differences between the usages.

And how to say "Please"

Advert your eyes to the ways of saying these phrases below:

The video below will show the different uses of "Thank you", "Please", and "You're welcome."

In order to ask/tell someone what today's date is or what's the month you need to know
    -The months
    -How to pronounce the months
    -How to spell the months
   -The dates

Here is a site that will help you pronounce the months better and learn them.

*In Español the first letter in the months are always miniature they are never upper case. The first letter in the days of the week are also lower case and the week starts on Monday not Sunday. Also in Español the date is first then the month, then the year. (Ex. Date/Month/Year)  

Here are some words you might want to know
-la semana=The Week
-el mes=The Month
-el año=The Year

The Months

The Dates
Explanation:

To tell someone the date you need to know how to count to 31, what to say first day or month, and how to say the days of the week.

In spanish you always say the date day/month/year.

How to count to 31:

0 = cero      10 = diez            20 = veinte     30 = treinta 

1 = uno      11 = once           21 = veintiuno 31 = treinta y dos

2 = dos      12 = doce            22 = veintidos

3 = tres       13 = trece           23 = veintitres

4 = cuatro   14 = catorce        24 = veinticuatro

5 = cinco    15 = quince         25 = veinticinco

6 = seis      16 = diez y seis     26 = veintiseis

7 = séte      17 = diez y sete    27 = veintiséte

8 = ocho     18 = diez y ocho  28 = veintiocho

9 = nueva    19 = diez y nueva 29 = veintinueva

Here is a game that can help you improve on your dates.

This is my local area network. There are many electronics that are hooked up to the internet service that comes into the house. The internet comes in from the ISP, which is the internet service provider, and is sent to the modem. The modem send the signal to the router, and the electronics pick up the signal from the router and use the internet.

I learned that the internet is permanent, and anything you post will remain there forever, even though you delete it. I also learned how the local area network functions and what the ISP stands for (Internet Service Provider.) It was very interesting to understand how the network works, and learn about how everything is connected.

For people that need to know something about having an ISP/home network, I would tell them that they need to be careful about what they put online. That being said, I could say that they should definitely read a lot about it and ask a lot of people for advice if they need help because it's a lot of information to absorb the first time you read about it. I think they should definitely be educated in it before they get an ISP or home network.

2. Comcast, which is my I.S.P. is directly connected to the internet/World Wide Web. Then from the I.S.P. wires are coming out of it. The wires are going into the Modem which then connects to the wireless router. From the rowder a couple different things are used.The desk top, laptops, cell phones, home phones, Wii, printer, and T.V. 

3. I learned the difference between the world wide web and the internet. Also all of the different names and meanings for the machines/equipment that is connected to my home network. Such as I.S.P, modem, and router.

4.Make sure all of the wires are connected correctly. Also make sure you know the important things about having a home network and how to take care of it properly so you don't have to re buy different pieces of equipment.

Want to test your skills?

<Practica>

1. Without looking at the chart can you name the 3 ways to ask what time it is?

Lesson Part 2

Now do you remember numbers #1-12

Lets review them 

Spanish	English
unos	1
dos	2
tres	3
cuatro	4
cinco	5
seis	6
siete	7
ocho	8
nueve	9
diez	10
once	11
doce	12

Ok know you remember the numbers 

So lets move on to time.

Spanish	English	Endings
Es lan una	It’s 1:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las dos	It’s 2:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las tres	It’s 3:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las cuarto	It’s 4:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las cinco	It’s 5:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las seis	It’s 6:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las siete	It’s 7:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las ocho	It’s 8:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las nueve	It’s 9:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las diez	It’s 10:00	en punto (on the dot)
Son las doce	It’s 11:00	en punto (on the dot)
Es lan medianoche	It’s Midnight

Part 3

Endings 

...de la mañana ( in the mourning)

...de la tarde ( in the afternoon)

...de la noche (in the evening)

... y cuarto (quarter after)

... menos cuarto (quarter of)

...y media (half past)

... en punto (on the dot) when you use this its only when you have :00 

When you want to add 0:__ you put a y after you did son las or es lan 

Example: 0 y __

When you want to make it easier you menos it which means minus

Example: 0 menos __

LessonPart 4 

Adding 0:__ the blank. 

So lets just say you had 2:30AM.

You would solve that by putting all the components together.

So it would be Son las dos y media de la mañana.

Lets try another one a little harder.

7:55PM

You would solve that by adding son las or es lan in this case it would be Son las and since we are subtracting it so it would be ocho.

So all together it would be...

Son las ocho menos cinco de la noche
