Should I use Ser or Estar
One of the difficulties of using the Spanish verbs ser and estar correctly is choosing which one. When you encounter different types of being — unchanging essential being and being that changes depending on different conditions — trying to pigeonhole them as one or the other can be quite challenging.
When to use Ser
You use the verb Ser to describe the unchanging characteristics of a person, place, or thing, but what exactly does that mean? The following lists provide additional details to help you identify situations in which to use Ser:
• Origin and Nationality
• Ella es de España. (She is from Spain.)
• Ella es española. (She is Spanish.)
• The Four P’s: Personality, Physical Attributes, Profession, and Possession
• Él es divertido. (He is fun.)
• Susana es baja. (Susana is short.)
• Mi padre es un médico. (My father is a doctor.)
• El carro azul es mío. (The blue car is mine.)
• Date and Time
• Hoy es el seis de enero. (Today is January 6th [the 6th of January].)
• Son las diez. (It is 10 p.m.)
• Relationships
• Ellos son mis padres. (They are my parents.)
• Juan es mi mejor amigo. (Juan is my best friend.)
When to use estar
You use the verb estar to describe the changing characteristics of a person, place, or thing, but figuring out when that rule applies can be easier said than done. The following lists help you know when to use estar:
• Location
• Su casa está en la Avenida Príncipe. (Her house is on Príncipe Avenue.)
• El cine está cerca del centro. (The cinema is near the center of town.)
• Humour and Physical Condition
• El profesor está enojado. (The teacher is angry.)
• Mi madre está emocionada. (My mother is excited.)
• Los estudiantes están aburridos. (The students are bored.)
• La señorita Martínez está enferma. (Miss Martinez is sick.)
• Result of an Action
• Los niños están de pie. (The children are standing.)
• La audiencia está sentada. (The audience is seated.)

NUMBERS AND NUMEROLOGY
In the art of numerology, everything is broken down to basic, single-digit numbers. Numbers are the language of nature, and each number holds a specific meaning and significance. If you want to gain a basic understanding of numerology, start with this brief “cheat sheet” that gives you an overview of each number.
THE NUMBER ONE
One is associated with the Sun; energy; beginnings. People with a number one in an important part of their profile are usually one-of-a-kind. They're strong and individualistic. They make great leaders, they're dynamic visionaries with courage and ambition. On the down side, they can be lonely, demanding and sometimes selfish.
THE NUMBER TWO
Two is associated with the Moon; balance; duality; polarity. It's a passive number. It’s the number of pairs-- partners, twins, married couples or friends. People with significant tows are prone to being emotional, very intuitive and fluid. They may also have trouble with emotions, being easily overwhelmed by negative emotions, and are frequently introverts.
Numbers are the language of nature, and each number holds a specific meaning and significance.
THE NUMBER THREE
Three is the number of the planet Mars; dynamic; active. Three brings our attention to "triangles", body, mind and soul; past, present and future. People with a lot of threes are very expressive through artistic skills, writing or verbal communications. They love adventure and challenges. They’re outgoing, witty and charming, but they also have a tendency to be self-centered, egocentric and aggressive.
THE NUMBER FOUR
Four is ruled by Mercury; stable; grounded-- think of any structure with four corners. People with fours are generally strong and hold their own; steady, reliable, practical and logical. They can be stubborn, are prone to bickering and complaining when things are not as they like them.
THE NUMBER FIVE

People with fives in their profile are freethinkers; they hate monotony and stagnation; they love new endeavors, adventures and undertakings. They can be flamboyant and dramatic, but also fickle and unreliable.
THE NUMBER SIX
Six is the number associated with Venus; love; harmony; sincerity. It's energies are patient and calm, as it reveals our options. People with six in their profile are general peaceful; peace makers; non-judgmental; caring. They are prone to beign self-righteous and vain sometimes and tend to be clingy.
THE NUMBER SEVEN
Seven is associated with Saturn; mystery; magic; the esoteric and scholarly pursuits. With sevens, there are always deeper meanings or hidden information is trying to be revealed. People with sevens in their profiles are usually intellectuals, intense, spiritual and wise; they can also be critical, cold and impatient.
THE NUMBER EIGHT
Eight is associated with Uranus; wealth; business; material goods and success. It is largely concerned with cycles and usually points to patterns and repetitive occurrences. Eights are usually powerful, successful people. They're driven and very capable, but they can be power-hungry, workaholics or materialistic.
THE NUMBER NINE
Nine is associated with Neptune; achievement; influence; the highest vibrations that that radiate from within-- the personal attributes. it is the culmination of the other numbers and their traits, as nines are generally highly attuned, responsive, philosophical individuals in all areas. They can be prone to mood sings, feelings of isolation and self-pity when things aren't working out.

The Seasons / Las Estaciones
In the spring, seeds take root and vegetation begins to grow. The weather is warmer, and often wetter. Animals wake or return from warmer climates, often with newborns. Melting snow from the previous season, along with increased rainfall, can cause flooding along waterways.
In the summer, temperatures may increase to their hottest of the year. If they spike too high, heat waves or droughts may cause trouble for people, animals, and plants. Rainfall may increase in some areas. Others may receive less water, and forest fires may become more frequent.
In the autumn, or fall, temperatures cool again. Plants may begin to grow dormant. Animals might prepare themselves for the upcoming cold weather, storing food or traveling to warmer regions. Various cultures have celebrated bountiful harvests with annual festivals.
Winter often brings a chill. Some areas may experience snow or ice, while others see only cold rain. Animals find ways to warm themselves, and may have changed their appearance to adapt.
En la primavera, las semillas echan raíces y la vegetación comienza a crecer. El clima es más cálido y más húmedo. Animales despiertan o regresan de climas más calientes, a menudo con los recién nacidos. Derretimiento de nieve de la temporada anterior, junto con el aumento de las lluvias y las inundaciones.

En el verano, las temperaturas pueden aumentar y son las más calurosas del año. Si son muy altas, pueden causar sequías. La lluvia puede aumentar en algunas zonas. Otras zonas reciben menos agua, y los incendios forestales pueden ser más frecuentes.

En el otoño, las temperaturas se enfrían de nuevo. Puede empezar a cultivar plantas inactivas. Animales pueden prepararse para el próximo tiempo frío, almacenamiento de alimentos o viajar a las regiones más cálidas. Diversas culturas tienen cosechas abundantes y celebran con festivales anuales.

A menudo, el invierno trae un escalofrío. Algunas áreas pueden experimentar la nieve o el hielo, mientras que otros ven sólo la lluvia fría. Animales encuentran maneras para calentarse, y pueden haber cambiado su apariencia porque tienen que adaptarse

The months of the year

JANUARY
Named for the Roman god Janus, protector of gates and doorways. Janus is depicted with two faces, one looking into the past, the other into the future.
FEBRUARY
From the Latin word februa, "to cleanse." The Roman Februalia was a month of purification and atonement.
MARCH
Named for the Roman god of war, Mars. This was the time of year to resume military campaigns that had been interrupted by winter.
APRIL
From the Latin word aperio, "to open (bud)," because plants begin to grow in this month.
MAY
Named for the Roman goddess Maia, who oversaw the growth of plants. Also from the Latin word maiores, "elders," who were celebrated during this month.
JUNE
Named for the Roman goddess Juno, patroness of marriage and the well-being of women. Also from the Latin word juvenis, "young people."
JULY
Named to honor Roman dictator Julius Caesar (100 B.C.– 44 B.C.). In 46 B.C., Julius Caesar made one of his greatest contributions to history: With the help of Sosigenes, he developed the Julian calendar, the precursor to the Gregorian calendar we use today.
AUGUST
Named to honor the first Roman emperor (and grandnephew of Julius Caesar), Augustus Caesar (63 B.C.– A.D. 14).
SEPTEMBER
From the Latin word septem, "seven," because this had been the seventh month of the early Roman calendar.
OCTOBER
From the Latin word octo, "eight," because this had been the eighth month of the early Roman calendar.
NOVEMBER
From the Latin word novem, "nine," because this had been the ninth month of the early Roman calendar.
DECEMBER
From the Latin word decem, "ten," because this had been the tenth month of the early Roman calendar.
Los meses del año
ENERO Y FEBRERO
Enero proviene del latín ianuarius y toma su nombre del dios Jano, que era un dios que tenía dos caras mirando hacia ambos lados de su perfil. Jano era el dios de las puertas, los comienzos y los finales.

Febrero fue llamado así en honor a las Februa, una fiesta de purificación que los sabinos celebraban anualmente.
MARZO Y ABRIL
El nombre de Marzo deriva del latín Martivs, que era el primer mes del calendario romano. Martivs a su vez deriva de Mars el nombre en latín de Marte, dios romano de la guerra.

El origen del nombre abril no está muy claro. Se ha relacionado con el verbo aperire (abrir) asociándolo a que en este mes la primavera abre la tierra, las flores, etc, pero no hay fundamento etimológico que lo sustente.
MAYO Y JUNIO
A Mayo, los antiguos romanos le llamaban maius y su nombre parece provenir de la diosa romana Maia, que es la diosa de la fertilidad, la castidad y la salud y, cuyo festival, se celebraba en este mes.

Hay diferentes teorías de dónde proviene el nombre de Junio. Algunos dicen que proviene de Junio Bruto, fundador de la República romana. Otros creen que era llamado así por estar dedicado a la juventud y muchos piensan que tomó su nombre de la diosa Juno, diosa del matrimonio y reina de los dioses.
JULIO Y AGOSTO
El nombre del mes de Julio proviene Iuilius Caesar, es decir, Julio César ya que nació en este mes.

A Agosto se le puso este nombre en honor al emperador romano Augusto Octavio. En el antiguo calendario romano, el mes de Agosto se llamaba Sextilis pero Octavio Ausgusto decidió darle su nombre imitando a Julio César.
SEPTIEMBRE Y OCTUBRE
El nombre de septiembre viene de la misma raíz latina de séptimo y se debe a que era el séptimo mes en el calendario romano.

Octubre tiene este nombre porque era el octavo mes del calendario romano.
NOVIEMBRE Y DICIEMBRE
El nombre de noviembre deriva de novem (nueve en latín) por haber sido el noveno mes del calendario romano. Mantuvo su nombre incluso cuando al año se le agregaron los meses de enero y febrero.

El nombre del mes de diciembre deriva de haber sido el décimo mes del calendario romano

Aprende Inglés - Lección 1 - Learn Spanish - Lesson 1 - Días de la Semana - Days of The Week 22/06/2014

http://youtu.be/AkZ7a-AsSY8
The Days of the week
The names of most of the days of the week are linked to Roman mythology. The Romans saw a connection between their gods and the changing face of the nighttime sky, so it became natural to use their gods' names for the planets — the ones they were able to track in the sky were Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Those five planets plus the moon and sun made seven major astronomical bodies, so when the seven-day week was imported from Mesopotamia early in the fourth century it was natural to use those astronomical names for the days of the week.
Eventually, the first day of the week was named after the sun, followed by the moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. The names of the week were adopted with little change throughout most of the Roman Empire and even beyond. In only a few cases were changes made.
In Spanish, the five weekdays all retained their planetary names. Those are the five days whose names end in -es, a shortening of the Latin word for "day," dies. Thus lunes comes from the word for moon (luna), and the planetary connection is also apparent with martes (Mars, Tuesday), miércoles (Mercury, Wednesday) and viernes (Venus, Friday).
The connection with Jupiter is not quite so apparent with jueves, the word for Thursday, until you remember that "Jovian" is the adjective form of Jupiter in English, coming from a Latin root.
In Spanish, that leaves the words for Saturday and Sunday that weren't adopted using the Roman naming pattern. Domingo, the word for Sunday, comes from a Latin word meaning "Lord's day." And sábado, the word for Saturday, comes from the Hebrew word Sabbath, meaning a day of rest (in Jewish and Christian tradition, God rested on the seventh day of creation).
In English, the pattern is similar, but with a key difference. The connections between Sunday and the sun, between Monday and the moon, and between Saturn and Saturday should be obvious. The difference with the other days is that English is a Germanic language, and the names of equivalent Germanic gods were substituted for the Roman gods.
Mars, for example, was the god of war, while the Germanic god of war was Tiu, whose name became part of Tuesday. Wednesday is a modification of Woden's Day; Woden was a god who was swift like Mercury. You may have heard of the Norse god Thor; a variation of that name was the basis for naming Thursday. Finally, F***g, after whom Friday was named, was like Venus a goddess of love.
Los Días de la Semana

La palabra semana viene de septimana (7 días). Los nombres de los días de lunes a viernes provienen de cinco objetos celestiales que los antiguos romanos veían moverse en el cielo. Los romanos vieron una conexión entre sus dioses y el cielo de la noche que iba cambiando, según los días, así que empezaron a utilizar de manera natural los nombres de sus dioses para los planetas. En cambio, los nombres de sábado y domingo tienen otra procedencia. A continuación, te explicamos el origen de los nombres de los días de la semana.
LUNES
El nombre "lunes" proviene del latín Dies lunae o día de la luna. Es el primer día de la semana en el calendario gregoriano y primero de la semana laboral.
MARTES
El nombre de "martes" proviene del latín Martis dies o día de Marte. El martes es el segundo día de la semana dependiendo del país y de la cultura.
MIÉRCOLES
El nombre de este día proviene del latín Mercurii dies o lo que es lo mismo, día de Mercurio. El miércoles es el tercer día de la semana en las nuevas culturas pero en la cultura cristiana original era el cuarto.
JUEVES
Jueves proviene del latín Jovis dies, es decir, día de Júpiter. Es el cuarto día de la semana.
VIERNES
Viernes proviene del latín Veneris dies que significa día de Venus. Es el quinto día de la semana.
SÁBADO
Sábado viene de la palabra de origen hebreo que se refiere al Sabbat, el día de descanso.
DOMINGO
El nombre de domingo proviene del latín Dies Dominicus que significa Día del Señor. No es ninguna coincidencia que el domingo tenga una relación con el sol y con Jesús. El emperador romano Constantino adoraba a Mitra (dios del Sol), pero un día tuvo un sueño en el que vio una cruz dentro de un sol con la inscripción "vence con esto". Fue así que se declaró cristiano y dedicó el domingo como "el día del señor". También prohibió hacer trabajos manuales ese día
