¡Hola! Today we're learning the days of the week — los días de la semana. This is essential for making plans, talking about schedules, and understanding dates. I've put them all on the whiteboard. A fun fact: in Spanish, the week starts on Monday, not Sunday!

The Seven Days of the Week in Spanish

Spanish	English	Origin	Example
lunes	Monday	Luna (Moon)	El lunes tengo clase.
martes	Tuesday	Marte (Mars)	El martes trabajo.
miércoles	Wednesday	Mercurio (Mercury)	El miércoles voy al gym.
jueves	Thursday	Júpiter (Jupiter)	El jueves hay reunión.
viernes	Friday	Venus	El viernes salimos.
sábado	Saturday	Sabbath (Hebrew)	El sábado descanso.
domingo	Sunday	Dominus (Lord)	El domingo voy a la iglesia.

Key Rules for Days in Spanish

Three important things to know: (1) Days of the week are not capitalized in Spanish — write lunes, not Lunes. (2) The week officially starts on Monday in Spanish-speaking countries. (3) All days except sábado and domingo are masculine and use el or los. To say "on Monday" use el lunes. To say "every Monday" use los lunes.

Using Days in Sentences

Spanish	English
Hoy es lunes.	Today is Monday.
Mañana es martes.	Tomorrow is Tuesday.
El lunes tengo una cita.	On Monday I have an appointment.
Los viernes salgo con amigos.	On Fridays I go out with friends.
¿Qué día es hoy?	What day is today?
El fin de semana descanso.	I rest on the weekend.

Helpful Time Words

Pair the days with these time expressions: hoy (today), mañana (tomorrow), ayer (yesterday), esta semana (this week), la semana que viene (next week), la semana pasada (last week), el fin de semana (the weekend). These combine naturally with day names: el lunes pasado (last Monday), el próximo viernes (next Friday).
