How to find out the weather at your next vacation spot!

In order to greet someone and have a simple conversation in Spanish you have to know:

How to say Hello in Spanish

How to Ask someone their name

How to ask someone how they are doing.

         You can say hello to someone by saying one of the following greetings according to the time of day:

¡Hola! = Hello (Anytime)

¡Buenos dias!= Good Morning

¡Buenas Tardes!= Good Afternoon

¡Buenas noches!= Goodnight

When asking someone their name in Espanol you say ¿Como Te llama?

There are two ways to ask someone their name. When speaking to an adult to say ¿Come se llama?

When speaking to an peer you say ¿Como te llama?

If someone was to ask you ¿Como te llama?, meaning "What's your name", you would say in respone

"Me llama es ___(your name)"

Finally if someone ask you your name and you want to know what's theirs in return you say (if adult) ¿Como se llama (Usted)? or just ¿Y Usted?. When asking a peer what's their name in response you say ¿Como te llamo (tu)?, or just ¿Y tu?.

¿Y? Makes the E sound

When asking someone how they are doing you say:

 ¿Como estas?(peer)

  ¿Como esta?(adult)

        ¿Que tal?

Ways to tell someone how you are doing:

(Muy) Bein, gracias = (Very) Good thankyou

Mas o menos. = Regular/fine/okay/average

 (Muy) Mal = (Very) Terrible

Just like the names, if someone ask you how you're doing and you want to know how they're doing in return you say:

¿Como estas(tu)? or just ¿Y tu? (peer).

When asking an adult you say ¿Como esta (usted)? or just ¿Y Usted?

Now here's a video of two people meeting for the first time greeting each other in Espanol

Imagine you doing that to somebody who only speaks spanish. You want to say excuse me but they had no clue about what your saying.

Here are some ways to say Thank you, excuse me and please.

When you want to say please. You simply just say Por favor . How easy is that?

You're walking down the hallway and someone knocks your book out of your hand. You ask someone else to pick it up and then you thank them.

So I'm going to show you how to count to hundred.

Now that you know how to count to a hundred.

A thing to remember is when you say veinte, you must replace the last e with a i.

Here's an example: if you want to say 4:25 you simply say Son las cuarto y veinticinco.

When you want to say things like :35 you just put trientacinco. Same thing goes for all everything over veinte.

 There's one exception though when you want to say it's 1 o'clock you must say Es la una. Not Son las uno if you say it that way you're pronounocing it wrong.

In this video one person asks the other person what time it is!

First you have to know the numbers in Spanish up to one hundred. To ask the time in Spanish you would say ¿Qué hora es/son? Which of couse mean what time is it. If the time is 1:00 you would say es la una. Now if it is 2 o clock, 3 o clock, 4 o clock, ect. You would say son las dos, son la tres, son las cuatro, etc. If the time end in 30 you would say medra. So if the time is 3:30 you would say son las tres y medra. if the

Time end in 15 you would say cuarto. If the time is 2:15 you would say son las dos Y cuarto.if the time ends in 45 you would say cuarto but u use it different . so if the time is 4:45 you would say son las cinco menos cuarto. If the time is ending in 46-59 you would say son las _______ menos ______. So for example if the time was 1:55 you would say son las dos menos cinco. A hint to help you would be when say menos think of minus.

:15 Cuarto

:30 Medra

:45 Menos cuarto

:50 Menos diez

¿Que hora es/son What time is it.

Examples

7:00 Son las siete

4:55 Son las cinco menos cinco

2:30 Son las dos y medra

2:15 Son las dos y cuarto

1:00 Son es una

10:45 Son las once menos cuarto

10:52 Son las once menos ocho

10:59 Son las once menos uno
