How can I remember the spainsh word for when? I have good tricks for all the other question words, exept when.

Question

I think the word for when is cuando, I'm not sure, but is there any good memory tricks? Don't say flash cards, I already tried, they don't work well for me.

Answer 1

Remember the lyrics below, from a very catchy tune (originally Italian, but sounds exactly the same in Spanish):

"Tell me cuando, cuando, cuando"

Answer 2

C-when-do.

Tai-kwon-do. (WHEN you need to kick tushy)

Silly works well for me

Answer 3

No tricks...just practice using some sentences that describe the various things you do when/cuando something happens. For example:

Cuando estoy cansado, voy a dormir. When I am tired, I go to sleep. Cuando estoy feliz, sonrío. When I am happy, I smile. Cuando estoy triste, voy al centro comercial. When I am sad, I go to the mall. Cuando estudio español, me siento bien. When I study Spanish, I feel good.
