This is used to get someone’s attention.

Perdon

Finally, this is the most common. When you bump into someone or do something you didn’t mean to do. You say Perdon.

Next, are the thank you’s. There are also 3 ways to say these but they all are used them same and each one uses a different importance.

Gracias

This is used for a simple thank you.

Muchas Gracias.

This is used to mean “Thanks a lot”.

Muy amble Gracias.

Finally, this is used to mean “Thanks a million”.

Then, please. Please in spanish is Por favor. This is used anytime you want to say please.

Finally, the “you’re welcome”s. There are also 3 ways to you’re welcome in spanish. But this time you can use these at anytime, anywhere, for any meaning.

De nada.

Por nada.

No hay de que.

Posted by Daniel Varnis in Spanish 1 - Manuel on Monday, October 31, 2011 at 11:54 am

Lesson:
When traveling to a different time zone, there are many different things that are needed to be known. First, you need to know how to say 1-60 in Spanish, which are in a picture below. You need to know 1-60 because those are the highest numbers when counting time in Minutes, hours, and seconds.

Next, you need to know how to ask, "What time is it in..." and you need to know how to tell people what time it is. But before you can ask what time it is, you need to say, "I have a question" which is, "Tengo una pregunta."

ALSO, you should know how to get someone attention. When they are walking by you can say, "Disculpe!" which means, "Excuse me!"

Video Dialogue:
A passenger is on a plane on his way to Milan, Paris from Puerto Rico. He needs to ask the flight attendant what the time is at Milan.

*Passenger is sitting in chair and flight attendant begins to walk past...*
Passenger - "Disculpe!"

¿Cuando es su fiesta de cumpleaños?

Posted by Daniel Varnis in Spanish 1 - Manuel on Monday, October 31, 2011 at 11:54 am

Lesson:
-You need to know the days of the week.
Monday is lunes
Tuesday is martes
Wednesday is miercoles
Thursday is jueves
Friday is viernes
Saturday is sábado
Sunday is domingo

P.S. - In the Spanish calendar, the week begins on Monday, unlike in the traditional English calendar that starts on Sunday.

But the one sure that you have to be careful of is that the the days of the week are always lower cased. Never begin the days of the week with a capital letter. Also you would need to know how to greet someone. When you walk up to them, you say "Hola!" which is "Hello" but in Spanish. Next you need to know how to ask someone when something is. To perform that, you need to say "Cuando es..." which means, "When is..." but in Spanish. Then some basic vocabulary is need to know, such as cumpleaños meaning birthday, and gracias meaning thank you! From there Anna will welcome me by saying "de nada."

Video Dialogue:
*Both walk into scene*
Anna - "¡Hola Daniel!
Daniel - "Hola Allen, cuando es su fiesta de cumpleaños?”
Anna - "Mi fiesta de cumpleaños es el sábado"
Daniel - "Gracias!"
Anna - "De nada!"
