  • I'm curious about something. I don't mean to split hairs, but is the word for "Thursday" in Spanish pronounced

    "WEH-vess" (as in "then"), or "WAY-vays" (as in "day"), or somewhere in between the two???

  • That's actually a very perceptive question to be asking... I understand exactly what you mean... it is supposed to be something closer to the "ay" in day than the other sound... but without the diphtongization you hear in English (ay-ee). But the sound you'll hear for "e" will vary slightly depending on the dialect and sounds immediately before or after... See also my video on vowel sounds

  • what word would you start with to say like.. "on monday"?

  • "El" El lunes tengo clase de arte.

  • I have just started learning Spanish: your videos are a wonderful aid and encouragement.  ¡Muchas gracias!

  • de nada! glad you're enjoying them!

  • Muchcos gracias profesor Jason. Yo muy comprehendo

  • quality vid, helped me out

  • you wouldn't say 'hoy es el tres de enero' when talking about today's date.

    you'd say 'hoy es tres de enero'.

    You'd use 'el' to refer to a specific date that is NOT today.

  • Professor Jason , these lessons are awesome ! This is my first time learning spanish. My major objective to learn this language is so I can read and interpret the LDS book in spanish and be able to communicate with my spanish friends in their language. You do make it easier then I thought it would be. Thanx for your valuable time.and effort you put into these lessons.

  • this has been such a great help

    

  • Hoy es el quince de junio :) in fact it is today 15th june

  • Depends on where you grow up learning Spanish. Using "el" before the day of the week is officially correct. And teaching is NOT the job of a dictionary.

  • @gatozappa

    Depends on where you grew up learning Spanish...it is officially correct to use "el" before the day of the week.
