    First of all, you need to capitalize all of the months.

    In Spanish you don't capitalize months or days of the weeks.

    The first and second to last and last sentences sound funny to me.

    Para recordar ( to remember)

    Es hace calor? I should be "hace calor" only. Or mucho calor maybe

    You need to say it with a proper Spanish accent.

    a little too quick :grin:

    And i dont believe "nieve" is the verb for snowing, since nieve literally means snow, as in a noun. You may have to use "cae nieve". Nevar also means snowing, but it would have to be "neva" to make sense and im not sure that's a real word.

    the other one im not sure about is "an muerto".....I dont think "an" is a an spanish word, but i know those of us who grew up here tend to use it. It's like saying "no an venido" but we mean "no a venido nadie"....so, I think you have to say "que murieron"

    I just got done with a section on weather. What they said was 'nieve' means 'snowy,' so I think it's correct... but I wouldn't bet on myself, lol.
