                                            AMIGOS VS FAMILIA

                                            Tu vs. Ud. Questions

     Ever wonder how to address your elders in spanish? Or how to greet your amigos? Depending on the person, they're will always be a certain amount of respect given in the spanish language. In english, we usually address authority figures with “Mr.” or “Ms.”, but with Spanish, it is way more complex.

     There are two different ways of speech that specify who you are talking to. When having a conversation with a friend or peer, it is always necessary to end the sentence “Tú”. This is an informal way of speech and should not be used when talking to authority figures. The same is applied when asking questions. Imagine you are meeting a new friend for the first time. They ask for your name. You would say, “´¿Me llamo ____, y tú?” By ending the sentence with “...y tú?” You are saying “And you?”. A couple of practices and you'll get the hang of it!

     Now onto to the formal way of sayings! Whenever referring to an adult or older authority figure, it is essential to ask them a question that ends with “Usted”. Simple questions such as “What is your name?” would be said in espanol like “¿Cómo se llama usted?” as opposed to its informal counter part, “¿Cómo te llamas tú?”. This applies to all older family members, teachers and other authority figures.

Just remember these simple things:

Tú=Someone around your age/peer/friend

Usted= An adult, authority figure (ex: Professora)

   Lets take a look at the boxes below:

Weather

Weather is like the easiest subject to learn in Español. Your just basically giving a one word answer on how the weather is using hace or esta, which means it’s or it is.

Example:

rainy: hace lloviendo

snowy: está nevando 

If you want to say the temperature is either good or bad you just say; mal for bad or bien for good. Some temperature is pronounce to its meaning in English or to a word that means the same

Example:

hace  (bastante) frio - it’s (very) cold     está (mayormente) nublado - it’s (mostly) cloudy 

hace (bastante) calor - it’s (very) hot      está (mayormente) húmedo - it’s (mostly) humid 

hace (bastante) sol - it’s (very) sunny     está (mayormente) lloviendo - it’s (mostly)

                                                                 rainy         

hace (bastante) viento - it’s (very) windy  está (mayormente) nevando - it’s (mostly)

                                            snowy 

Weather:

For this video to teach the weather, we’re going to do a fake weather forecast. First the two girls are going to turn on the television to the weather channel and the anchor is going to tell them how the weather is in Spanish .

Dates

Numbers in Spanish are also very different from English. The first letter in the word 

also start with lower case. In Spanish the date comes before the month as in English the month comes before the date, but the year still goes last.

Example:

  English:                         Spanish:

6/12/09                          12/6/09

Dates are very important if you want to know when your homework is due, when somebody birthday is and when something expires.

Months and Dates:

This video is about a husband forgetting his wife birthday. She is going to throw around a couple of hints like for example she’s going to say all the months in Spanish and say something like aren't you forgetting something.

Months 

Months and Dates are very different from each other in Spanish and English . In Spanish the first letter of a word is lower case while in English it’s upper case 

Spanish Months: 

 English Months:

As you can see in the chat there are some words that look the same as in English but some look very different and is spelled different . The most common misspelled  Spanish months are :

agosto - august

septiembre - september

octubre - october 

noviembre - november

diciembre - december
