Números y Teléfono

Posted by Monisha Das in SP1-005 on
Learning number in Spanish is the same as in English. In English when you want to know how to say 27, you would say twenty-seven and in Spanish you say veintisiete. Also it is good to know how to ask or say someone's phone number. Below there is a list of 
how to say numbers in Spanish and how to ask for someone's phone number

What is your phone number?
¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono?         Informal
¿Cual es su número de teléfono?           formal

It is ........
Es el

 I'll call you soon. / I'll call you soon
Te llamo pronto. / Te llamo luego

You see your Dominican classmate in the hallway and she wants your phone number. You should be able to tell her.

Tú vs. Usted

Posted by Symone McCollum in SP1-005 on
​You get the chance to meet a famous spanish teacher from spain. His interest and goals are sooo close to what you want in your life, but you don't know what to ask him, and how. You don;t want to disrespect him either, so you need a guide to show you what questions to ask....

 and Usted BOTH mean you, but, when you say , you use it towards a peer, or someoneyounger. When you say usted, you use it to someone older, or someone that you want to showrespect to.

Preguntas (Tú) (questions informal)

¿Como te llamas?    (como-tay-jah-mas)      What's your name? (informal)

¿Como estas?         (como-es-tas)               How are you? (informal)

¿Qué tal?                (kay-tal)                     What's up?

¿De donde eres tú?    (day-don-day-ear-es-too)    Where are you from? (informal)

¿Cuál es tu número de teléfono?   (coal-es-too-numero-day-telephone-o)   Whats your number? (informal)

¿Cuántos años tienes tú?     (quan-toes-an-nose-tee-an-es-too)       When’s your birthday? (informal)

Pward Figure Drawing

Posted by Phoenix Ward in ARTADV-001 on
​Well, this is my picture so far. I still have a lot to do...

So, I had a first attempt at the picture but it was trashed by someone I don't know. It didn't deter me, though. It just made me want to do better than the last time. The first picture was my starting of the new picture. All I had was the basic structure of my figure's head. It was easier drawing the head this time seeing how I did it when I did the previous one. The second picture is what I got done today. I was able to get some details on the face and a bit of the torso done. I think the female torso is really difficult, because on a female there are subtle or noticeable curves on the body that really set me off cause I can never make them proportionate on the body... that and I've been drawing mainly male anatomy for most of my artistic life and really can't draw females much...

Anyway, this is what I've got!

¡Hola! Let's Learn Our El Alfabeto!

Posted by Alexis Dean in SP1-005 on
Knowing the Spanish alphabet is just as important as knowing the English Alphabet. It has many uses and many reasons. I am going to teach you how to be able to spell out words in both English and Spanish and so that you can easily interpret what is being said through spelling. Use the chart below to see how the Alphabet is written in Spanish. 
spanish_alphabet_410x200
In the video below, we are demonstrating how when you are meeting someone who is very fluent in Spanish and you want to learn the Alphabet, you guys can study together and learn the Alphabet the right way.
