So, I'm sitting here in a Chiringito in San Sebastian watching the sun go down over the water. Porcino lo saves, in case you don't know, a chingito is a bar little bit of air libra, close to the play. The sky is a bright, deep orange and has a very chilled vibe

as I sip a cup of vino blanco-seco. glass of dry white wine. One cup of wine, blanco, seco. You know, it's one of those evenings

where you really don't want to be anywhere else. A moment that really ought to be cherished. You know, where you wish time would stand still? Well, whilst I'm here, let me teach you something

that is very important and very foundational in Spanish. Days of the week. But I want to show you how to actually use them in conversation, not just recite them, but use them to make plans, book things, talk about your week, that kind of stuff. Let's go. Let's start. Monday in Spanish is Lunez. Lunez. Tuesday is Marches. Martes. Wednesday is. is Myrkoles.

Myrcoles. Thursday is Juebes. Juebes. Friday is Biernes. Biernes. Saturday. My favorite day of the week.

Sabbado. Savado. Savado comes from Sabbath. The day of rest. Sabbath, Sabbath. Sabado. It sounds similar.

so it's easy to remember. And Sunday is Domingo. Domingo. Think about when it's Domingo, you're in your domicile. Domingo, domicile. You're not at work, but in your domicile.

Domingo. So, say them all with me now. Lunez. Martes. Miercoles. Juebes. Biernes, Saturday,

Domingo. Again? Lunez. Mardes. Miercoles. Jueves. Diernes. Savado.

Domingo. Now, one thing worth knowing. In Spanish, the days of the week are not. They are not capitalised. They're just regular words. Small detail, but it's good to know. And if you want to get comfortable the days of the week in Spanish, try changing your phone's language to Spanish. That way, you'll see them every day without even trying.

I know, I'm starting to behave like a broken record, but let's say them together one more time. Lunes Mertes Mertes Miercoles Juebes Viernes Sado

Think Sabbath Domingo Think Domingo Domingo is when you're in your domicile Domingo Well Now, the really

useful thing In English When we want to say something is happening on a particular day We say on Monday, on Friday and so on. In Spanish, it's even simpler. You just use El. Elunez. See? El means the and, well, that's all you need. No extra word for on. Just el and the day. So on Monday would be el lunz. On Tuesday would be.

On Wednesday? El Miercoles. On Thursday? El Jueves, yes. On Friday? El Viernes. On Saturday? El Saturday.

On Sunday? El domingo. So, if I want to say, I'm going to the restaurant on Thursday, I say, I'm going to the restaurant El Juebes I'm going to the restaurant on Thursday I'm going to eat at the restaurant

El Juebes You already know Voi a from earlier in the season Voy Air means I'm going to go and El Juebes means on Thursday Put it together

and you've got a full sentence Now you remember the other night that I got a bit lost walking home? Well, I've made a reservation to go back to that same area on Friday. So I'd say, I'm going to go on Friday.

I'm going to go on Friday. How would you say I'm going to the beach on Wednesday? I'm going to the beach on Wednesday. I'm going to I'm going to la playa el miercoles

And I'm going to drink wine on Saturday I'll bever vino El Sado I A Beber Vino El Sado

I'll bever Vino el Sado Now, what if something happens every week not just once? For that, you use Los instead of El. Los Lunes means every Monday. Los Viernes means every Friday.

Just swap El for Los. And suddenly it's a regular thing. Los Lunes, every Monday. Los Fines de Semana. Every weekend. Oh, by the way. Fines de Semenes. Semana means weekends.

Fin de Semana is the weekend. Finis de Semana is weekends. Plural. El Fin de Semana, the weekend. So, Los Fines de Semana means at weekends. So I could say, Los Domingos, Bevo, Vino, here. Los Domingos, bevo, vino, Vino, Acchi.

On Sundays, I drink wine here. Or every Sunday, I drink wine here. Which, looking at this view, honestly sounds like a reasonable plan to me. However, before we go further, a quick word. If you want to actually see me in Spain, doing exactly what I do on the podcast, the gillingitos, the beaches, the old town,

but some real life in video, head over to the immersive Spanish YouTube channel. It's all there. real places, real conversations, real video. So, right, let's talk about how to make plans and book things. Because knowing the days is one thing, but being able to use them in real situations, that's where it gets good. To say I have a reservation, you would say, Tengu a reserve

Tengo a reserve Tengo meaning I have and reserve meaning reservation Tengu

a reserve So I could say Tengu a reserve El Sado I have a reservation on Saturday Tengo

a reserve El Savado Well, to ask someone if they have availability on a certain day, you'd say, Do you have a table on Thursday? Do you have a table on Thursday? Or more generally, do you have disponibility on Monday?

Do you have availability on Monday? Tiene Disponibilidad El Lunes Tienes Disponibilidae Lunez

These are exactly the kinds of phrases you need when you're booking a restaurant or a hotel or a tour anything really Now let me teach you two more

really handy words This week This week This week This week This week This summer This

Semana This week Next week is La Semana The Semana Que Vienne La Semana Que

Vien Which literally translates to The Week that comes La Semana That comes Next week So with that being

established, we could say I'm going to hear the myrcholes de la semena I'm going to go on Wednesday of next week. I'm going to go the myrcholes de la semen that vienna. If I wanted to say

this week I have a reservation on Thursday, I would say this week I have a reserve on a juebes. This week I have a reservation on Thursday. This week,

TENGO UNA Reserva El Juebes Right, let's test you on everything

so far What is Monday in Spanish? Lunez Lunez And how about

Friday? Viernes Viernes How do you say on Tuesday? El Martes And how do you say on Sundays, as in every Sunday?

Los Domingos. Los Domingos. How would you say I'm going to the beach on Wednesday? I'm going to the beach on Wednesday. I'm going to go to the play a Miercoles. How about? I have a reservation. on Saturday.

Tengo a reserve el sabado. Tengo one reserve el sabado. How would you

ask if they have a table on Thursday? Tienes a meza on Juebes? Tiene Mesa

El Jueves. And how would you say next week? Or in other words, the week that comes.

La Semana that comes. La Semana Que Vienne and how would you say this week

this week this week this Semana This Semana Buenissimo really good work here guys

And with that being said The sun has almost fully set now The sky's gone from orange to pink To a sort of Deep purple and the wine is nearly

finished. El Vino is almost finished. The wine is almost finished. Oh yeah, by the way, if you want to take your Spanish beyond just listening, as in, if you want to actually start speaking, having real conversations and situations exactly like this one, then
