How Do You Say When In Spanish

MicahHey everyone, Micah here with Alex.

AlexHello. Hola, Hola.

MicahTruFluency Kids Spanish Immersion and we are here teaching a weekly Spanish phrase to parents because this how we fight for our kids’ bilingualism. We have to get involved as well and help as much as we can. Umm, so what question word are we gonna learn today, Alex?

Spanish Phrase – How to say “When” in Spanish: Cuándo

AlexVery short one. Cuándo.

MicahCuándo. Can you talk about…you just told me that your husband often pronounces this incorrectly because of the tongue position. Tell us about that.

AlexIt’s cuan-tho. He says cuan-to and cuanto means how much.

MicahOkay. Okay.

AlexIt’s cuan-tho. Cuan-tho.

MicahOkay. So to make the “d” in Spanish for our English speakers you really should touch the tongue to the bottom of the top teeth -tho -tho -tho. It’s almost like “th” except it’s a hard sound. It’s not air. So in English, you’d say -th -th -th but in Spanish, you say -tho -tho -tho cuan-tho. Don’t put your tongue inside cuz it’s gonna get mixed up with another word. If you say cuanto it kinda sounds like a “t” in Spanish and that means another word. So cuándo – when.
