<v Speaker 1>talk in espanel. Are you ready for this, mamma el TmPo.

7
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.119
<v Speaker 1>That's how we say the weather in Spanish. To start,

8
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>let's listen to a short dialogue between my friendly Titia

9
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.119
<v Speaker 1>and me. She is in Minnesota and I'm in Costa Rica.

10
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Pay close attention to the words we used to describe

11
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:57.119
<v Speaker 1>the weather in each place. Here we go, all Alicia.

12
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Ola, Marco pain Minnesota.

13
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota, Henielle just doing Costa Rica de vacaciones aga acca, lore, yesta, soliado,

14
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>como style tempo Minnesota.

15
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.959
<v Speaker 2>Agaci, frio, yesta promegusta.

16
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's break it down. Did you catch the words

17
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>to describe the weather in Costa Rica a Minnesota. I'll

18
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 1>give you a few seconds to think of your answer.

19
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's see about Costa Rica. I said acca, lore yesta, soliado,

20
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 1>it's hot and sunny, and in Minnesota.

21
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 2>A caci fri yesta it's cool and.

22
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Cloudy too fast. Let's have a look at all of

23
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 1>this in more detail. To get started the question to

24
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 1>ask about the weather. The question I used was como

25
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>esta el tempo that means what's the weather like? Repeat

26
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>after me commostal tempo perfecto. Tempo is a tricky word

27
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>because it can also mean time, So how do we

28
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what it means? Well the context. If you're

29
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>asking commost a tempo, your amigus will know you're asking

30
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>about the weather because that's how we phrase it in Spanish,

31
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>so no confusion there. Another option is kit tempo asset

32
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Repeat after me kit t tempo asset perfecto. Now, let's

33
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 1>have a look at how you can answer to commostal

34
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 1>tempo and espanel. In the dialog, we use two main structures,

35
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 1>one with the verb asset and one with the verb is.

36
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Start with a cert we con'jugate the verb as assey

37
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>in the third person singular assay, and then we ad

38
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 1>the noun of the weather condition. So as say calore

39
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:12.599
<v Speaker 1>is hot, I say frio it's cold. Don't translate that

40
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:17.280
<v Speaker 1>literally into English because that's like saying it makes heat

41
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>or it makes cold. I know it's sons strange, but

42
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>that's how we spressed in Spanish. I say calore, I

43
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:37.840
<v Speaker 1>say frio. Repeat after me I say calore, I say frio. Good.

44
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.439
<v Speaker 1>You can also use the verb a star to be.

45
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 1>A star is commonly used to describe current weather conditions,

46
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>and in this case, it's similar to the way you

47
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 1>phrase said in English. In the dialog, we said a

48
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:58.560
<v Speaker 1>star soliado it's sunny, and a star new blado it's cloudy.

49
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.919
<v Speaker 1>So after you include the adjective that describes the weather

50
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 1>conditions like soliado and new blado, repeat after me estar

51
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 1>soliado esta new blado.

52
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Good.

53
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 1>Okay, now that you know the vocabulary, let's listen to

54
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 1>the dialogue one more time. Here we go all aldia Ola.
