View in browser 

Hola Amigos,

Get ready to laugh with a hilarious DJ joke, discover life with new Spanish words like 'silla', 'serie', 'calendario', 'a menudo', 'nevar' and many more in this edition of our newsletter.

silla

'Silla' is the Spanish noun for chair. Chairs are pieces of furniture designed to accommodate one person, typically having four legs and a back.

Here's how to use it:

  • Ella tiene una silla nueva.
  • La silla es para mi abuela.
  • Deja la silla aquí.

serie

The Spanish word 'serie' is used in similar contexts as 'series' in English. It can refer to a number of things or events of the same class coming one after another in spatial or temporal succession, such as a TV series (una serie de televisión) or a series of events (una serie de eventos). However, it's important to gauge the context as certain English phrases may not translate directly.

Here's how to use it:

  • Fui a la libería a comprar la nueva serie de libros de Harry Potter.
  • Nosotros preferimos ver una serie en lugar de una película.
  • Tengo que leer una serie de artículos para mi clase de historia.

calendario

In Spanish, 'calendario' is used in much the same way as 'calendar' in English. It's a system of determining the beginning, length, and sequence of years and their subdivisions, such as weeks and months. It's used in everyday language and contexts, from scheduling appointments to planning events.

Here's how to use it:

  • Deberías revisar el calendario antes de planear nuestro viaje.
  • Mi calendario está lleno de citas para esta semana.
  • Según el calendario, hoy es día feriado.

a menudo

This one denotes frequented actions. It devoted the high rate of occurrence but it doesn't specify or must be regular like 'siempre'.

Here's how to use it:

  • A menudo vamos al cine los fines de semana.
  • A menudo tengo hambre antes de la cena.
  • Ellos a menudo llegan tarde al trabajo.

nevar

The Spanish word 'nevar' translates to 'to snow' in English. This is a verb that depicts the natural process in which the atmospheric water vapour freezes into ice crystals and falls to the ground. 'Nevar' is most commonly used to describe the weather and is used in various contexts, just like in English, to symbolize the falling of snow.

Here's how to use it:

  • Siempre comienza a nevar en esta época del año.
  • El pronóstico del tiempo dice que va a nevar.
  • No he visto nevar en mi ciudad natal.
