How to Ask someone for the time?

First we will teach you how to ask for or tell the time. This is important to real life cause if you do not have a clock or watch at your disposal you will need to ask someone for the time and this tutorial will show you how to.




  • Their are three ways to ask. (What time is it?) You can ask by saying "Qué hora es?", "Qué hora son?", or Qué hora tiene. Any of these will be find to use anytime you ask for the time.  
  • Now that you know how to ask for the time i will now tell you how to tell time.If someone says" Qué hora es? "You can by saying Es la una if ita one o'clock or Son las... for any other number between dose and doce.Also to say  the number of minutes you must use y unless it between 45 and 59 mintues you must use menos.For example to say 1:15 you say "Es la una y cuartro" or you could say "Es la una y quince". But to say 5:45 you say "Son las cinco menos cuatro" or "Son las cinco menos quince."
  • A way you could this in really life is by  asking someone in your school hallway for the time.

Talking to Adults vs. Children



Tú is for non- adults
Usted is for Adults
This is usefull for parents and children it shows class. When you are speaking to an adult and say (y usted ) that is formal, but when you are speaking to your friend you say (y tú) each is saying (and you) but one is formal and ones informal.

Singing the Alphabet

A: ah, B: beh, C: seh, CH: cheh, D: deh, E: eh, F: efeh, G: heh, H: ah-cheh, I: eee, J: ho-ta, K: ka, L: eleh, LL: elleh, M: emeh, N: eneh, Ñ: eneyeh, O: oh, P: peh, Q: cooooo, R: ereh, S: eseh, T: teh, U: ooo, V: veh, W: dobleh veh, X: Eh-quis, Y: eee gree-eh-gah, Z: zetah

Make every letter a short letter not in size but in sound. Every y is an high e. Every ll is a y. All J's are h's. Instead of saying Q its coooo. Its not W is Dobleh veh Like a double v. X is Eh- quis its like spelling x with a uis on the end. Z is Zetah remember the z its the only one that starts with z.

(El Tiempo) Weather

Now i will teach you how to describe the weather.This is a good task to use for  a good life tool and also could be used in the workplace if you are a  weather forcastor.
  • The way that you ask someone "How's the weather?" is to say ¿Qué tiempo hace? Which literally means "what's the weather like?".
  • Now that you know how to ask about the weather now you need to describe weather.To describe weather you say "Hace" followed by any these descriptions.
 frio for cold
calor for hot
viento for windy
sol for sunny
fresco for cool

Los Días de la Semana ( Days of the Week)

Today I would teach you how to say the days of the week and how to ask and tell someone the day.The reason  you should learn this is because knowing the days of the week for purpose such as scheduling meetings or events or just to have common knowledge of the day you are living.

  • Before i can teach you how to ask or tell someone the date you must first learn how to pronounce each day.For example Monday=lunes, Tuesday=martes, Wednesday= miercoles,Thursday=jueves, Friday=Viernes, Saturday=sábado, and Sunday=domingo.Also you must never capitalize the days of the week.
  • The way that you ask" What day it is?" or the literal translation of  "What day is today?" is by say "¿Qué dis es hoy?". But the way you would respond is by say "Es"then the day.For example if its Tuesday you would response " Es martes"
  • A way you could use this skill in life is singing the Days of the Week Song.

Drue and Tamatha- T vs Ud. Questions

Posted by Tamatha Lancaster in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on

               * Tú vs. Ud. Questions

      Explanation to teach topic:

1.     Greeting your friends and their parents.

2.     Explanation to teach topic:

There are two type of ways to greet someone-informal and formal.

When you use informal you would use tú and when you use formal you would use usted (ud.).

When you are talking to your amigos you would use tú and when your  talking to your amigo’s parents, you would use ud.

              You would use ud. when talking to an adult to show a sign of respect.

                Example:

                Tú:

                ¿Como estás (tú)?.....How are you?

                ¿Como te llamas (tú)?....What’s your name?             

                ¿De dónde eres (tú)?....Where do you from?

                ¿Cuántos años tienes (tú)?.....How old are you?

                Ud.:

                ¿Como es (ud.)?...How are you?

                ¿Como se llama (ud.)?...What’s your name?

                ¿De dónde es (ud.)?.....Where are you from?

                ¿Cuántos años tiene (ud.)?.... How old are you?

 

     Notice how there are marking on top of certain letters. And there are two question marks, an upside down one in the front and a regular one in the back. We put two question marks or two exclamation point in front of a sentence so you would know if the sentence is a question or a statement.

Drue and Tamatha- Months/Dates

Posted by Tamatha Lancaster in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on

                Months, Dates

                     1. Finding out cousins birthday

                     2. When you write the months you don’t capitalize it.

                          If you want to ask someone what’s today’s date, you can say:

                          When you want to respond to this question you can say:

                              Hoy es el # de (mes)……. It’s the # of (month)

              

                  When you write the date you would write it like this en español:

 Ex. 21/02…..the 21 of febrero/February

                -OR-

 Es el veintiuno de febrero

1.Explanation to Teach:

       Tyler and I are teaching people the Alphabet and teach them how to correctly pronounce them. This will help them to learn how to spell words in Spanish: A: ah, B: beh, C: seh, CH: cheh, D: deh, E: eh, F: efeh, G: heh, H: ah-cheh, I: eee, J: ho-ta, K: ka, L: eleh, LL: elleh, M: emeh, N: eneh, Ñ: enyeh, O: oh, P: peh, Q: cooooo, R: ereh, S: eseh, T: teh, U: ooo, V: veh, W: dobleh veh, X: eh-quis, Y: eee-gree-gah, Z: zetah. We will repeat them two more times so that you will have the hang of how to say it.

Tyler: Se escribre teh, eee-gree-eh-gah, eleh, eh, ereh

 

2."Courtesy Phrases"

We are teaching people courtesy phrases so they can learn how to use polite manners. This will help you when someone gives you something or helps you out. We would start by teaching them simple phrases like i.e. If some one gives u something you would say Gracias (Gra-see-as)-thank you ,and they would say Denada (Dae-nad-a)-your welcome. Or If someone ask's you how are you, you would say Muy Bien (Muy-be-in) - Very Good Ytu? (E-Two)  -and you. We will repeat them until the student or whoever understands the whole concept of courtesy phrases.      

 

Script:

Raeven: !hola!

Tyler: !Hola!

Raeven: Como estas?

Tyler: !Muy Bien!  Y tu?

Raeven: Igualmente

Tyler: OK

 

   3.Numbers!

We are also teaching people how to say numbers and phone numbers. They are also useful in plenty different ways. We will start off by teaching them 1-10 i.e. uno,dos,tres,cuatro,cinco,sies,siete,ocho,nueve,diez! Then the pattern will change 1-15  i.e. once, doce, trece, catorce, quince. But after those 15 numbers the pattern changes again 16-20 i.e. diecisies, diecisiete, dieciocho, diecinueve, diecinueve, viente. The pattern stays the same from 20-100. If you know all the ten's and mutiples of ten you will know the pattern. The pattern is Viente, Treinta, Cuarenta, Cicuenta, Sesenta, Setenta, Ochenta, Noventa, Cein. After every number u say the numbers 1-9 until you get to the next whole number. This can be used if someone ask's how old your are or if they was askin for your number.

Script

Tyler: !Hola!

Raeven: !Hola!

Tyler: Cual es tu número de teléfono ?

4.Weather Explanation!

We feel that everyone should know the weather. So why not teach them? We will start by teaching them how to spell the weather, and seasons. Then we will teach them how to say it. This wont be hard it will only take two lessons. Lesson 1 spelling the four seasons such as el  otoño (autumn), el invierno (winter),  

La primaver (spring) el verno( summer). We will also teach them how to spell the weather, such as frio (cold), calor ( warm), viento (windy) sol (sunny), fresco(cool).

Posted by Steven Webb in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on
Introduction:   Saying "Hi", "What is your name?", "Where are you from?", "Nice to meet you", and "Goodbye" in Spanish.
  • To say "Hi" in Spanish, you say "Hola" (the "h" is always silent).
  • To say "What is your name?" in Spanish, you say "Como sé llamas" or "Como te llama" ( The sé and te are formal and informal ways. Which means that you say "te llama" to a superior (someone older than you), and sé llamas to an equal or someone younger than you.) 
  • When asking "where are you from?" You say "dé dondé es?" (When you see the ´over the "e", pronounce it with a long a sound.
       


 Real life application:
 You are in Barcelona, Spain and you want to say hi to someone that speaks Spanish.
 So in English, one would normally say "Hi, what is your name", or "Hi, how are you?". How ever, in Spanish, it's a bit different.
 When you meet someone for the first time...
     You may want to say:
        ¡Hola!, ¿Como sé/té llama? Which means "Hi!, What is your name?"
     They may reply:
       " ¡Hola!, Mi nombre es *Maria, ¿y tu/udsted?" Which means "Hi, my name is Maria, and you?"
       You then reply:
            Yo soy ______ (your name) or Mi nombre es or me llamo...




Coutesy Phrases

Posted by Steven Webb in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on

Saying "Please, Thank you, Your welcome, and excuse me.

Saying please in Spanish:
 When you want to be polite in Spanish, one way to express politeness is by saying please. To say please in spanish, you say "por favor".

Saying Thank you in Spanish:
  When some one helps you out. In Spanish, you say "Gracias" or "Mucho Gracias".
Saying Your welcome in Spanish: When you help someone one out, in Spanish you say "De nada","Por Nada", or "no hay de que".


Saying Excuse me in Spanish:
3 ways to say excuse me in Spanish are "Disculpe", "Con permiso", "perdon". However, in spanish, these 3 ways are used in different situations. "Disculpe" is used to get someone's attention. Con permiso is used to get past somone. And perdon is if you accidently bump into someone.

Real life application:
   Some one helps you find directions to the hotel you are staying in.
      You say, "Mucho Gracias", or just "Gracias".
   And they say "De nada"," no hay de que", or "por nada".

You bump into someone accidently, but they speak Spanish. You say "perdon". You want to get past someone without being rude, so you say "Con permiso". You want to get someone's attention in Spanish, so you say "Disculpe por favor".

Election Day Interview

Posted by Bethany Knibbe in American Government - Laufenberg on

(picture emailed)

At my polling place, there was a guy handing out information about Brendan Boyle, and I ended up interviewing ​him. Turns out he's Boyle's uncle!
My first question was, "What motivated you to come out and vote?" He said that his nephew was running, and he was very invested in him winning, but he's always felt an obligation to vote.
Next I asked him, "What would you like to see changed in our political system?" I found his answer very interesting. He said he'd like to see more jobs, better healthcare, that kind of stuff. I don't think he understood what I was asking, or didn't have an answer. Often people don't really think about the way our political system runs as something that can, or should, be changed and improved.
My next question was, "Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning?" He answered right off the bat that it was TV by far.
Next I asked him, "Are you always sure of who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth or are you still deliberating?" He said he always knows. From the people I've talked to, I get the sense that the dedicated voters are not only dedicated to always getting out to vote, but also to do their research, and make sure they have a good picture of the candidates and their views on issues.
The last question I had for him was, "Did you learn about voting in school? If yes, did that impact your willingness to vote today?" He said that he is from Ireland, and over there he was always taught to value the opportunity to vote, and that learning about it in school definitely impacted his willingness to vote. Once he came to America, he still held that same value that he got from his education in Ireland.

!~Courtesy Phrases~!

Posted by Sidney Williamson in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on

Courtesy phrases! (Good manners)

 Just like in English we have manners and different ways to say them in espanol.  Gracias is used mostly and it simply means thanks. You may also say Muchas gracias witch means thanks a lot or Mil gracias witch means thanks a million. Those are all good ways to say thank you. Here are some ways to say you’re welcome. De nada, Por nada and no hay de que.  And that is how you can say thank you and your welcome. When it comes to saying Excuse me there are different ways of saying it based on the situation. The three ways of saying excuse me  are Con permiso, Disculpe, and Perdon. Con permiso should be used when someone is standing in your way. Disculpe should be used when you are trying to get someones attention. Lastly Perdon should be used if you accidentally bump into someone. Por favor is appropriate to use when saying please.

 

Real life application

An real life application for courtesy phrases is one iff someone does something for you or if you are in a crowded place or mabey even on the bus This is all used in everday life.

 

We will show how to use each of these phrases in our video explaning when what is appropriate.

 

 

 

 

Telling Times

Posted by Octavius Collins on

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.

Qu hora es?: Asking the time in espaol.

Posted by Nuri Bracey on

In order to learn how to do this, you must know how to: say the numbers 1-29, and how to speak correct grammar


Time is one of the weirdest and confusing subjects (for me) in español. There a lot of twist and turns in it.




 If the time is anywhere BEFORE THE 30 MIN. MARK (and it's not one o'clock), than you would say Son las, dos,  tres, cuatro(etc.).


If the time is one o'clock, then you say Es la una.


Say the time is 4:20. You would say son las cuatro y veinte. If the time is 2:30, you would say son las dos y media. If the time is 4:40 or 4:55, you'd say cuatro menos veinte or cuatro menos cince. You do this since your subtracting the min. that it would take to get to 60.


There is a chart for reference and a link below to help you further understand.




Y TU vs Y Usted

Posted by Ananda Knight on

Y tu vs Y usted

 

 The difference between Y tu and Y Usted is that one is formal while the other is informal. Y tu is informal and Y Usted id formal. In Spanish we change the way we speak when talking to someone we have respect for and are an adult rather than our friends. When talking to an adult we use formal language when talking to our friends we use informal language.  They both still mean the same thing.

 

Real life application

A student is talking to a student and than an adult.



Days of the week in spanish.

Posted by Diamond Blenman in Spanish 1 - Manuel on
Title: Days of the week

When you do days of the week you need to know how to say days of the week.  In order know how to say the days of the week you need to know the difference in between the capitals and lower case letters and also accents. Accents are the words with little lines on top of the letter and they are pronounces as shown in the graph below. Accents in the word may get you in trouble by saying it wrong and the teacher or Spanish person by them misinterpreting it. Also it may mean something else in Spanish. There will be a video that explains Dime asking shay that walks up what day is the test and dime gets scared because that day is the test so he starts scrambleing. You also need to know how to ask which is....¿que dia de la semana es el? Which means what day of the week is it?

Vannary, Sarah-Charlotte, April: When your Talking to your Grandparents vs. Your Friend

Posted by Vannary Kom in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on
In the Spanish language there are formal and informal ways of speaking. This is very important. To speak to a person who is older than you, you use formal. If they are your age or younger, you use informal. There are two different ways to say "you" in spanish, formal and informal. I learned them with a chart so that is what I am going to use to teach you. This way you can refer back to it. The main two words that you would use Tú and usted but there are some other words that have a difference.
