De la Semana - Days of the Week

These are the days of the week in English, and Spanish.
Our calendar begins on a Sunday, but the Spanish calendar begins on a Monday.


ENGLISH ESPANOL

Monday	lunes
Tuesday	martes
Wednesday	míercoles
Thursday	jueves
Friday	viernes
Saturday	sábado
Sunday	domingo

There is a song to remember this:

“Hay siete, Hay siete, Hay siete días de la semana...
lunes, martes, míercoles, jueves, viernes, sábado, domingo”

REAL LIFE SITUATION: There is an exchange student from Puerto Rico named Pablo who is your partner for a Spanish project. On a Tuesday, Pablo asks his partner, "qué días es manana. Then you would reply with "Míercoles" (Wednesday)

Here is a video that provides an example on remembering the days of the week

April	abril

-Some of the months in spanish sound like the months in english.

-Most students misspell 5 months a lot: agosto, septiembre, octubre, noviembre, diciembre.

With the dates in spanish, the month and the day are switched.   (Christmas = 25/12, Valentine’s Day = 14/2)

REAL LIFE SITUATION:  You are taking a vacation to Mexico and you make a new friend who hardly speaks any English. When he asks when your birthday is, you would say (day y month)
