¿Qué fecha es hoy?

Today in intro Spanish we learned about the days (día) of the week (semana), the months (meses) of the year (año) and how to write a date (fecha): number + de + month

Tuesday, December 2nd = martes, 2 de diciembre.

Next week we will reinforce what we learned today. Please, in preparation for class, watch the three videos below to practice how to better pronounce the days, the months, AND the seasons (las estaciones).

Also, please take a look at pages 16 and 87 in our book. Thanks and see you on Tuesday (Hasta el martes)!

Today in Intermediate Spanish we practiced our present tense conjugations.  We also started learning about the Inca. I was impressed to see that some of you had gone to the library and done research on the Maya and the Aztec. We also talked about Tintin :)

Please watch these two links in preparation for class: The Inca Empire 1 and The Inca Empire 2.

Also, if you could, after watching the English version, please watch the Spanish version of the Time Compass (Exploradores de la Historia) and see if you can recognized any words or expressions. (It will take you an extra 14 minutes, but you may find it interesting as an exercise, even if you only recognize a few words).
