Spanish Made Easy - Learn Seasons, Days of the week, Months in Spanish!

Hola amigos!

So in this post, I shall be concentrating on the vocabulary part.


It's very important for you to remember this section so that you can build up on your essays and letter writing vocabulary.

ALWAYS remember. The more the vocabulary & tenses you use for your letters, the better you score. Quantity is overrated.

So let's begin!






In Spanish, the four seasons of the year are:
  • el invierno — winter
  • la primavera — spring
  • el verano — summer
  • el otoño — autumn or fall.




Days Of The Week:

lunes (loo-nays) - Monday

martes  (maar-tays)-Tuesday

miércoles (mee-yer-co-lays) - Wednesday

jueves (Hoo-vay-ves) - Thursday

Viernes (vee-yer-nes) - Friday

sábado (sa-ba-dow) - Saturday

domingo (do-min-go)- Sunday






Points to remember:
  • Days of the week are always masculine.
  • Also, they aren't capitalized.
  • Plural form doesn't change.
  • Verb SER is used to express the day.

Examples:

1. ¿Qué día es hoy?
What day is today?

2. Hoy es lunes.
Today is Monday
.
3. No trabajo el lunes.
I don’t work on Monday.

4. No trabajo los martes.
I don’t work on Tuesdays.




 MONTHS IN SPANISH



enero - January

febrero - February

marzo - March

abril - April

mayo - May

junio - June

julio - July

agosto - August

septiembre - September

octubre - October

noviembre - November

diciembre - December




Examples: 

1. Vamos a Delhi en mayo

2. Voy a la playa en junio

3. El examen comienza en mayo.

4.  ¿Qué día es hoy? (What's the date today?)

      Hoy es lunes, el primer día de mayo. (Today is Monday, the first day of May.)
      Note that here, we can also speak in cardinal numbers which I've mentioned above.


Alternatively, you could also say " Hoy es el cinco de mayo" (Today is the 5th of May)
POINTS TO REMEMBER: 

1. Again over here, just like the days of the week, the months aren't capitalized.
2. To express in months, we use "en" (in)

Spanish Made Easy - Concept of verbs - Part 2.

Hola amigos!  Como estaís? (How are you all?) So today I shall continue with the IR & ER verbs. In the previous post, part 1, I spoke about how the "tail" of the verb is modified as you go on further to conjugate the verb. And boom. We're going to do the same with rest of them three. The only thing you need to do is, remember these tail modifiers given below exactly as per the formats.  Example of an AR verb: Lets take "Trabajar (Tra-baa-haar)". Which means to work. So as per the conjugations mentioned in the "AR" column above, I'll say: Yo habl o (I speak) Tu habl as (you speak) El habl a /Ella Habla / ustd habla (He speaks, she speaks, you speak(formal) Nosotros habl amos (We speak) Vosotros hab ais (You'll speak)  Ellos/Ellas/ Ustedes. habl an (They speak, They speak, Youll speak) Note: Ellos - Masculine, Ellas - Feminine  Still confused ?   Let's move on to example of E

Hola amigos, A quick guide for an understanding of phrases and conversations relating to the weather/climate. So when you're talking to somebody, let's say you're speaking to a friend from Spain and you're discussing about the weather in your respective countries. There are different set of verbs you will conjugate here namely, Hacer and Estar. Both mean " to do" and "to be" respectively. Now this verb "Estar" has another name in Spanish with the same meaning. That verb is called "Ser". Both these verbs mean "to be". But there are vast differences between the both, that many people fail to distinguish, Also, they fail to understand where it's usually applied. I shall make a separate post for this using lucid language so that you're able to comprehend it rather in an informal language. So for this post you need to remember the following verbs : 1. Hacer - to do/ to make. 2. Estar - to be.
