- 0:36Speaker 1: That's how we say the weather in Spanish. To start,
- 0:39Speaker 1: let's listen to a short dialogue between my friendly Titia
- 0:42Speaker 1: and me. She is in Minnesota and I'm in Costa Rica.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Pay close attention to the words we used to describe
- 0:49Speaker 1: the weather in each place. Here we go, all Alicia.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Ola, Marco pain Minnesota.

- 1:10Speaker 1: como style tempo Minnesota.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Agaci, frio, yesta promegusta.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Okay, let's break it down. Did you catch the words
- 1:21Speaker 1: to describe the weather in Costa Rica a Minnesota. I'll
- 1:24Speaker 1: give you a few seconds to think of your answer.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Let's see about Costa Rica. I said acca, lore yesta, soliado,
- 1:39Speaker 1: it's hot and sunny, and in Minnesota.
- 1:42Speaker 2: A caci fri yesta it's cool and.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Cloudy too fast. Let's have a look at all of
- 1:49Speaker 1: this in more detail. To get started the question to
- 1:53Speaker 1: ask about the weather. The question I used was como
- 1:57Speaker 1: esta el tempo that means what's the weather like? Repeat
- 2:02Speaker 1: after me commostal tempo perfecto. Tempo is a tricky word
- 2:12Speaker 1: because it can also mean time, So how do we
- 2:15Speaker 1: know exactly what it means? Well the context. If you're
- 2:19Speaker 1: asking commost a tempo, your amigus will know you're asking
- 2:23Speaker 1: about the weather because that's how we phrase it in Spanish,
- 2:27Speaker 1: so no confusion there. Another option is kit tempo asset
- 2:33Speaker 1: Repeat after me kit t tempo asset perfecto. Now, let's
- 2:41Speaker 1: have a look at how you can answer to commostal
- 2:44Speaker 1: tempo and espanel. In the dialog, we use two main structures,
- 2:49Speaker 1: one with the verb asset and one with the verb is.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Start with a cert we con'jugate the verb as assey
- 2:59Speaker 1: in the third person singular assay, and then we ad
- 3:03Speaker 1: the noun of the weather condition. So as say calore
- 3:07Speaker 1: is hot, I say frio it's cold. Don't translate that
- 3:12Speaker 1: literally into English because that's like saying it makes heat
- 3:17Speaker 1: or it makes cold. I know it's sons strange, but
- 3:22Speaker 1: that's how we spressed in Spanish. I say calore, I
- 3:26Speaker 1: say frio. Repeat after me I say calore, I say frio. Good.
- 3:38Speaker 1: You can also use the verb a star to be.
- 3:42Speaker 1: A star is commonly used to describe current weather conditions,
- 3:46Speaker 1: and in this case, it's similar to the way you
- 3:48Speaker 1: phrase said in English. In the dialog, we said a
- 3:51Speaker 1: star soliado it's sunny, and a star new blado it's cloudy.
- 3:59Speaker 1: So after you include the adjective that describes the weather
- 4:03Speaker 1: conditions like soliado and new blado, repeat after me estar
- 4:10Speaker 1: soliado esta new blado.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Good.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Okay, now that you know the vocabulary, let's listen to
- 4:23Speaker 1: the dialogue one more time. Here we go all aldia Ola.
