Does anyone speak Spanish?

[Deleted]

I'm trying to learn because we'll need it when we move. I'm making DD a little calendar with the day of the week and weather information in both languages and was hoping maybe someone could help me with a few words!

Hoping to learn the Spanish word for -

Sunny
Rainy
Windy
Snowy
Cloudy

DH has been using Google Translate for his homework... and I don't know how many times it's been wrong... or used a term that I had never learned. I just wanted to make sure I was getting the commonly used/correct term.

Thanks for verifying @adulruna! DH is learning Spanish but it's job specific stuff so he isn't learning the days of the week/weather - small talk type stuff! DD will go to a Spanish school when we get there so I figured introducing a few words now can't hurt.

@ismellbooks, I wish I had taken it more seriously in high school! Hoping to be as near to fluent as possible when we leave Colombia. It'll make life easier if we go back to S.America later on.

When are you going? Children pick up languages so easily it is great!

She'll be almost 3.5 before we get there. Hopefully she can start school right away.

@aest My husband is Puerto Rican- he speaks Spanish. And we just moved back to Indiana from living in South Florida for two years. I picked up a lot more down there. Everrrryyone speaks Spanish in SoFl.

It will help you a lot just being in the Spanish speaking environment. You will hear different phrases a lot and once you look them up you'll start to remember them.

Plus, bogota's accent is GORGEOUS. It's my favorite Spanish accent. It's very enunciated and clear to understand

That's what I've heard too! I'm thrilled to be going there, it'll be nice to be so much closer to home than last time we were abroad.

@adulruna wordreference is amazing! So helpful.

Here is DD's calendar!
