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

Basics - Pronunciations.

“You can’t build a great building on a weak foundation. You must have a solid foundation if you’re going to have a strong superstructure” – Gordon B. Hinckley Even one of the best Spanish teachers and corporate trainers do not hesitate to take a look at their basics. Basics build your skills inside out. Whether you’d want to communicate with a Spanish professional or a tourist in your own country, write big essays or appear for oral examinations, you do need to hit the right source. You’ll find tons of pages on google that will show you the basics haphazardly without any prior knowledge. The most common “basics” you’ll see are the common phrases used in your day to day lives such as “como estas?”, “buenos dias”. No. Don’t ever start from there because if you don’t know how to pronounce it, trust me, it sounds terrible. So today’s blog will be dedicated to pronunciations in Spanish. Picture source: Duolingo* comments.  -Start from each alphabet followed by their pr
