How to ask what the weather is in Spanish
To ask what the weather is in Spanish, you'll first need to know the types of weather. To help you learn, I've prepared the following Quizlet set.
If a phrase starts in hace, you can add "very" by inserting "bastante" after hace. For instance, "Hace bastante frio" means "It's very cold." When using it on fresco, it may be better to use "frio" instead.
You can also say "it rains a lot" by adding "mucho" after lloviendo. This also works for nevando, but you will have to change it to "nieva."
You can say it's partly or mostly cloudy by adding "mayormente" or "parcialmente" after está and before nublado.
Another thing you will need to learn is temperature. To learn how to say the temperature in Spanish, use the Quizlet set below.

Another thing you will need to learn is temperature. To learn how to say the temperature in Spanish, use the Quizlet set below.
After saying "La temperatura máxima es..." or "La temperatura mínima es..." add a number and then "grados." For "Ahorita estamos a # grados," substitute a number for #. Celsius is standard for temperature in Spanish.
Now that you know the types of weather and temperature, you can learn to ask what the weather is. To ask what the weather is, say "¿Qué tiempo hace?" One possible way you could answer is "Hace mayormente nublado." You could then continue "La temperatura es ochenta y nueve grados."
You also need to know the numbers. They are in the Quizlet set below.

¿Qué tiempo hace?-What is the weather like?
It’s (very) cold = Hace bastante frio.
It’s (very) hot = Hace bastante calor.

Cuando Es Tu Cumpleaos?: Learn Your Months and Dates In Spanish!
Many of us have sung that catchy tune ¡Feliz Cumpleaños! (Happy Birthday!) at one point or another, but how many of us actually know how to ask a teacher, friend, or family member their birthday in spanish? With this lesson, you can learn how!
First, let's talk about los meses, or the months. In Spanish speaking countries, many of the months sound the same as they do in english, actually. A major difference is that, when writing the months out, they are not capitalized as they are in english.
Let’s go over a few Spanish pronunciation rules:
- v’s sound like b’s
- e’s sound like a’s
- a’s sound like “ah”
- j’s soundlike h’s
- i’s sound like e’s
- d’s sound like “th”
See the quizlet flashcards below to practice these letter pronunciations!
Now, let's go through the months and their pronunciations:
Note: Whenever there’s an ‘r’ in any of the months (in spanish, only), slightly roll it. Not a whole lot, but just a little- a little latino pizazz. Check the youtube video at the end of the lesson if you can’t roll your r’s.
- The syllables that are in all caps are the ones that have emphasis on them, notice that!
DRILL YOURSELF! Cover the English translation with your hand and practice the spanish one. Say what month it is in english and check to see if you got it. Do it until you can get all 12 twice.
Next, let’s go through the numbers. For the purpose of this lesson, I’ll only go through days 1-31 and how to say them in spanish.
Hey! Did you notice how in 21, there are essentially two numbers there? You can see both veinte and uno, right? Well, the spanish word for ‘and’ is simply ‘y’. To make things simpler, the good ol language makers decided to put all three words together, turning the ‘y’ into an ‘i’ for convenience. Think of it this way: veinte+y+uno= veintiuno. Apply this to numbers 21-29. What would 22 be? How about 24? 27?
30. treinta (TRAIN-tah)
31. treintaiuno (TRAIN-tay-u-noh)
Alrighty! Now, you’ve got the months and the days. You’re ready right??
Wrong. You need the basic question! How do we actually say “When is your birthday?”
Simple! You know that ¡Feliz Cumpleaños! means “Happy Birthday”, right?
Cumpleaños = birthday. Check.
When = Cuando. Check.
Is = Es. Check.
Tu = You/Your. Check
Let’s put it together: Cuando (when) es (is) tu (your) cumpleaños (birthday)
¿Cuando es tu cumpleaños?
Now, you know how to ask your friends their birthday in Spanish!
But, how do you answer this question when asked?
Also very simple!
You know your months, you know your days. The Spanish word for ‘of’ is ‘de’- add the three together!
seis de noviembre.
You’re all set!

- junio = June - pronounced: WHO-nee-oh
- julio = July - pronounced: WHO-lee-oh
- agosto = August - pronounced: ah-GHOST-oh (¡Cuidado! Careful! Don’t say ah-gust-oh, say ah-ghost-oh)

Common Courtesy Phrases
Phrases like “Please” and “Thank you” have been taught to us since we were small children. They are commonly used in everyday life and project a sense of respect and courtesy among people. Irregardless of what some might think, common courtesy is what will get you further in life, while also leaving a good impression!
“Thank you”. We've heard and have said it ourselves. Now how do we say it in the Spanish language? There are many ways, but a short, and common way to say it is “Gracias.”. For example, if someone holds the door for you, you'd reply with “Gracias.”. “Gracias” is only one of the many ways to express gratitude in the Spanish language.
Ever accidentally bumped into someone or tried getting their attention? These situations usually start with someone saying “Excuse me”. In English, there aren't many ways in which you can say it. This is where the complex language of Spanish comes in! There are multiple ways in which “excuse me” can be said in Spanish. And each of them have different feelings/meanings behind them.
We've all wanted something so bad, that we've practically begged before. Or, because it is polite to your partner, you say “Please” when asking for something or someone. In spanish, “please” is said as “Por favor”. This term is always needed when wanting something. And prevents you from sounding rude.

The internet service provider is Verizon. This connects the phone wire which connects to the modem.This is connected to the router. The router sends signals to all of the electronic devices such as computers, printers, game systems,and televisions.
I always thought that it was really interesting how the router can send out signals to the electronic devices. I learned how the firewalls work and what they can block the searches from beng delivered and how all of this can take place in a matter of seconds, yet we still complain about how long it takes for a search to go through.
I would tell them about how the how the router communicates with all the devices and about how everything communicates with something else, kind of like a domino affect.
