    Señor Jordan:

    Es la primer vez que escucho que existe el “día de los espíritus”. ¿Quiere Ud. decir el día de los muertos? ¿?

    Es una traducción posible para el ‘Halloween’. ‘El día de los muertos’ es una tradición bastante diferente. Una tiene que ver con los dulces y disfrazarse mientras que otra se trata de recordar a los familiares y seres queridos fallecidos.

    Hola Senor Jordan,

    I really enjoy your lessons. I recently took a break from the classes I’m taking at a local adult language school. Anyway, upon returning to the I realized how much I forgot. Thanks for the extra help I need it! And my birthday is also on Dec. 14th! Very cool!

    Hola,
    I don’t understand one thing. Why the question about Independence day starts from “Cual” when other questions starts from “Cuando”?

    Hope for quick answer, cause I’m confused :)

    regards

    Good question.

    ¿Cuál? — means what or which…
    I think I often use it in with the word ‘fecha’¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy?‘ meaning ‘what is the date [of] today?
    Cuando would be a strange word to use there.. ‘when is the date today?…..

    On the rest of them… I usually ask ‘when?’ and I don’t have the word ‘fecha‘…

    I think that on that question you could ask ‘¿cuándo es el día de la independencia?‘ and it would make sense…

    You would be asking ‘when is independence day?’

    With cuál, you’re asking which of all the days in the year is independence day.

    Either one makes sense.

    Hope that clarifies!
