- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Spanish with Fexingo? Luna: Yeah, I'm ready! What are we learning today? Lucas: Today we're talking about the weather. Four simple phrases you can use every day. Let's start with the most common one: when the sun is shining, we say 'hace sol'. Luna: Hace sol. So 'hace' like 'makes' and 'sol' for sun? Lucas: Exactly. 'Hace sol' means it's sunny. Let me say it slowly: ha-ce sol. And now normal: hace sol. Luna: Hace sol. Lucas: Perfect. Now, what about when it's cold? We say 'hace frío'. Hace frío. Luna: Hace frío. So it's 'makes cold' but means it's cold. Lucas: Right. Hace frío. Let's practice both. If it's sunny, you say...? Luna: Hace sol. Lucas: And if it's cold? Luna: Hace frío. Lucas: Great. Now for rain. When it rains, we say 'llueve'. Llueve. Luna: Llueve. That sounds like 'yoo-eh-veh'? Lucas: Close! Llueve, with a soft 'y' sound. Llueve. Luna: Llueve. Lucas: Yes! And for snow, 'nieva'. Nieva. Luna: Nieva. That's pretty. Nieva. Lucas: Good. So let's imagine a quick scene. It's a sunny morning. Luna, what do you say? Luna: Hace sol. Lucas: Then later it starts raining. What do you say? Luna: Llueve. Lucas: And at night it gets cold. Luna: Hace frío. Lucas: And if you're lucky, it snows. Luna: Nieva. Lucas: Perfect! Now let's do a little story. Imagine you're planning a trip to the mountains. You check the weather. What do you hope? Luna: Hmm... I hope it snows, so nieva. Lucas: Right. But if it rains, you say llueve. And if it's sunny, hace sol. If it's cold, hace frío. Let's say all four in order. Luna: Hace sol, hace frío, llueve, nieva. Lucas: Beautiful. Now, let's try a quick quiz. I'll say a situation, you say the phrase. It's raining. Luna: Llueve. Lucas: It's cold outside. Luna: Hace frío. Lucas: The sun is shining. Luna: Hace sol. Lucas: Snow is falling. Luna: Nieva. Lucas: You got it! Now, remember these. Over the next few days, whenever you look outside, try to say the weather in Spanish. If it's sunny, say 'hace sol'. If it rains, say 'llueve'. Luna: I will. This was fun. I love that we can talk about the weather now. Lucas: Me too. And you can always go back and listen again. Practice makes perfect. Luna: Yeah. Until next time, thanks Fexingo! Lucas: See you next episode. Practice your weather words, and we'll be back with more. Luna: Hasta luego! Lucas: Hasta luego!
