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.

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. For example, in names there are a few different ways, but because I am also doing the topic of names, I will show you then.






Word in Spanish   formal or Informal
Tú                    -->       informal
Usted            -->       formal


The title: When your talking to your grandparents vs. Your Friend is there because the it shows a real life example of the Tú vs. Usted. When your talking to your grandparents you have to use Usted. If you are talking to your friend you would use Tú. 

Vannary, Sarah-Charlotte, April: When You travel to a Spanish speaking country and need to ask Questions

Posted by Vannary Kom in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on

You might wonder how to say the common question starters. For example: what, why, how, when, and so on. Well here it is. Again I am going to teach you with a chart. For this there is no formal and informal. 







This chart explains it all. Now that you know these words... you also know how to start to ask questions when talking to people who speak spanish. Of course, to ask full questions, you need to know other words also. But at least you can now start them. This will help you when you travel to a Spanish speaking country and need to ask questions. 

Vannary, Sarah-Charlotte, AprilWhen You Meet Someone for the first Time:

Posted by Vannary Kom in Spanish 1 - Sanchez on


When you meet someone new, whats the first thing you often ask? Thats right! You ask for their name! After reading this, you will know how to ask someone their name and respond to that question yourself! All in Spanish, of course. The first thing you need to know for Names is Nombre is the word for "name" in Spanish. To teach you about names, I am going to use bullets. Again names have formal and informal.


• ¿Cómo te llamas (tú)? [informal]
   ¿Cómo se llama (Ud.)? [formal]   = Whats your name?

• Me llamo __________. ; Yo soy _______. ; Mi nombre es _________. = My name is ______.

• If you were going to say "and you?" after you tell someone your name... you would say either ¿Y tú? when you talk to a younger person or ¿Y Usted (Ud.)? when your talking to an older person.

These are all things to say when you meet someone new. 
*******NOTE: Remember which ones are formal and informal! (tú vs. Usted [Ud.]) ********

Basic conversation Questions

When you first meet someone you always start out saying hello or "hola"  and asking their name "Como te llamas"
They may respond saying good morning "buenos dias", good afternoon "buenas tardes", good evening buenos tareds", or even saying "hola" back. They they can say "me llamo ____", "yo soy....." , mi nombre es ____" "meaning my name is ____."
Then starting a conversation you could ask them how they are doing "Que tal", "como va", "Como estas (tu)", "Como esta (ud)", and they all mean "how are you?"

If you plan on seeing the pseron again you might want to ask then for their number or their concact information by asking them "Cual es tu numero de telefono" meaning whats your number.m
You could respond by saying "es el ___."
