\u00a1Hola, mi gente!<\/em><\/p>\n

As you may already know I live in Brazil, in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo, in a town called Bebedouro (Drinking Fountain). It is usually warm here but these days it has been very, very hot. So I decided to pick up where my Spanish friend Laura left off with her video lesson<\/strong><\/a> and talk a little bit more about the weather in Spanish.<\/p>\n

Check out this conversation:<\/p>\n

Paula<\/strong>: \u00bfHas escuchado el pron\u00f3stico del tiempo para el fin de semana?
\nNuria<\/strong>: S\u00ed. El hombre del tiempo dijo que el s\u00e1bado habr\u00e1 sol, pero puede llover un poco el domingo.
\nPaula<\/strong>: Odio el tiempo lluvioso. La lluvia me deprime.
\nNuria<\/strong>: Te entiendo. O sea, t\u00fa prefieres el verano, \u00bfverdad?
\nPaula<\/strong>: Sin duda. Para m\u00ed es la mejor estaci\u00f3n. Me encantan las actividades al aire libre.
\nNuria<\/strong>: \u00bfY qu\u00e9 planes tienes para el fin de semana?
\nPaula<\/strong>: Pensaba irme a la playa.<\/p>\n

Now let’s take a look at some importante points in this conversation.<\/p>\n

\u00bfHas escuchado…?<\/strong> – Have you heard…? This expression should be used when you actually hear something. When you want to know if someone has heard about something, a fact, gossip, etc., use the expression \u00bfTe has enterado de que…?<\/em><\/p>\n

el pron\u00f3stico del tiempo<\/strong> – the weather forecast
\nel hombre del tiempo<\/strong> – the weather man<\/p>\n

habr\u00e1<\/strong> – there will be. If you want to say “there would be”, use habr\u00eda.<\/p>\n

puede<\/strong> – this verb form can be used to say “it may” or “it might”, stating possibility<\/p>\n

Odiar<\/strong> – when you hate something say, “Odio algo”, when you hate someone you add the preposition “a”, “Odio a alguien”.<\/p>\n

Te entiendo.<\/strong> – I understand you, I know how you feel.<\/p>\n

Para m\u00ed…<\/strong> – To me, in my opini\u00f3n<\/p>\n

actividades al aire libre<\/strong> – outdoor activities<\/p>\n

Pensaba irme a la playa.<\/strong> – In English we say “to think about doing something”, in Spanish we don’t need the preposition and the verb comes in the infinitive. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

Pienso viajar a Per\u00fa el a\u00f1o que viene. [I’m thinking about traveling to Peru next year.]<\/em>
\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 piensas hacer ahora? [What are you thinking about doing now?]<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00bfY ustedes? \u00bfQu\u00e9 tipo de tiempo les gusta m\u00e1s?<\/em><\/p>\n
