About Me

A mild-mannered homeschool mom who is faster than a speeding flash card, more powerful than a mega-workbook, and able to leap tall unabridged bilingual dictionaries in a single bound! Look! Up in cyberspace! It's a flamenco skirt! It's an irregular verb chart! No, it's just me, and it's time to learn Spanish.

¡Feliz 2008!

Posted in grammar and language helps



Are you one of those people who is so organized that you can manage to get through Christmas, AND have a calendar prepared for the new year?  If so, ¡felicidades! (congratulations!)  I am pretty organized myself... but not THAT organized.  I have THOUGHT about getting a calendar, does that come close?

A calendar is actually yet another opportunity to slip a little Spanish into your life.  On a site like this, you can get a calendar for most any interest, and most of them are available in Spanish.  A real die hard would want this Spanish phrase-a-day calendar!   Just typing in the word "Spanish" brought 27 results... wow, it will be tough to narrow them down!  Yay... here is a site I found with free printable calendars in Spanish!

Ok, so when you get your calendar, what next?  Let's practice some phrases  that you can use when saying the month or day of the week:
  • Hoy es lunes (or other weekday)- Today is Monday
  • Estamos en enero (or other month) - It is January
  • Hoy es el 23 de mayo del 2008 - Today is May 23rd, 2008
  • Mañana es martes (or other day) - Tomorrow is Tuesday
  • Mi cumpleaños es el 13 de octubre - My birthday is October 13th.
  • La fecha es jueves, el 26 de junio - the date is Thursday, the 26th of June.
  • ¡Tengo un calandario en español! - I have a calendar in Spanish!
Did you notice that months and days of the week are not capitalized?  The number of the day is written before the month, such as: el 15 de enero/January 15.

See a days of the week vocab list here.

Ok, now to decide which calendar to get.....

Jan. 1, 2008 - calendars...

Posted by Anonymous


hey, awesome site! really love your display of info...

here's a suggestion for a calendar employing cutting edge technology that's more useful and functional than even any software you would buy..

go to Google, set up a gmail account ( that you don't even have to use the email portion), and customize a personlized ' iGoogle' page. turn on the calendar, and you have a fantastic tool that you can share to other iGoogle usersif you want.. we use it for our biz and it's flawless, and more than one person can see and modify it simultaneously ( if you have your family using it, for example)....

! feliz navidad y feliz anio nuevo !
