Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Spanish with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 41, can you believe it? Lucas: I know, we're having a great time. Last time we talked about vegetables. Remember 'zanahoria'? Luna: Oh, 'la zanahoria'! That's carrot. I still crave them sometimes. Lucas: Good recall. Today, let's talk about the weather. It's something we all experience, right? Luna: Totally. And I always want to describe it in Spanish. Like, 'it's sunny' or 'it's cold'. Lucas: Exactly. We'll start with a simple question: '¿Qué tiempo hace?' That means 'What's the weather like?'. Luna: ¿Qué tiempo hace? Lucas: Perfect. Now for answers. If it's sunny, say: 'Hace sol.' Literally 'It makes sun.' But it means 'It's sunny.' Luna: Hace sol. Lucas: Great. For cold weather: 'Hace frío.' That's 'It's cold.' Luna: Hace frío. Lucas: And for rain: 'Está lloviendo.' That means 'It's raining.' Luna: Está lloviendo. Lucas: You're a natural. Let's practice a mini conversation. I'll ask '¿Qué tiempo hace?' and you answer with one of those. Luna: Okay. Ask me. Lucas: ¿Qué tiempo hace? Luna: Hace sol. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's switch. You ask me. Luna: ¿Qué tiempo hace? Lucas: Hace frío. Luna: Oh, so you're cold. I like that one. Hace frío. Lucas: And one more: imagine it's raining. Está lloviendo. Luna: Está lloviendo. I can picture that. Lucas: Let's do a quick scene. You're looking out the window. I ask you what the weather is like. You say it's raining. Luna: Okay. So you ask and I answer. Lucas: ¿Qué tiempo hace? Luna: Está lloviendo. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's bring in 'hace sol' and 'hace frío' into a conversation. Imagine we're planning a day out. Luna: Oh, I love planning. So if it's sunny, we can go to the park. Lucas: Right. So you could say: 'Hace sol. Vamos al parque.' But let's just focus on the weather part. Luna: Sure. Hace sol. Let's go to the park. Lucas: And if it's cold, maybe we stay home. 'Hace frío. Estoy en casa.' Luna: Hace frío. Estoy en casa. That reminds me of 'Estoy en casa' from before. Lucas: Yes! So you're connecting phrases. That's great. Luna: I want to try all three again. Can we do a quick drill? Lucas: Of course. I'll say the English, you say the Spanish. 'It's sunny.' Luna: Hace sol. Lucas: 'It's cold.' Luna: Hace frío. Lucas: 'It's raining.' Luna: Está lloviendo. Lucas: Excellent! Now the question: 'What's the weather like?' Luna: ¿Qué tiempo hace? Lucas: Nailed it. Let's do a quick review. Repeat after me: Hace sol. Luna: Hace sol. Lucas: Hace frío. Luna: Hace frío. Lucas: Está lloviendo. Luna: Está lloviendo. Lucas: ¿Qué tiempo hace? Luna: ¿Qué tiempo hace? Lucas: Beautiful. Now you can talk about the weather in Spanish. Use these phrases when you look outside or check the forecast. Luna: I will. Thanks Lucas. That was a fun episode. Lucas: You're welcome. Keep practicing with Fexingo. See you next time! Luna: Adiós!
