Telling time in Espanol (spanish)


In order to tell time you definitaly need to know numbers from 1-60 in spanish. Telling time is not hard but you also need to know how to speak Spanish. By that I mean you need to know how to say half and quarter to and say how much to. For example….





Once you have mastered the numbers you are not yet done.

Also like “es las tres" which means it is three o'clock. Or es las uno or es las ......etc.

the days of the week




When you do days of the week you need to know how to say days of the week.  In order know how to say the days of the week you need to know the difference in between the capitals and lower case letters and also accents. Accents are the words with little lines on top of the letter and they are pronounces as shown in the graph below. Accents in the word may get you in trouble by saying it wrong and the teacher or Spanish person by them misinterpreting it. Also it may mean something else in Spanish. There will be a video that explains Dime asking shay that walks up what day is the test and dime gets scared because that day is the test so he starts scrambleing.
