Thank you very much. :) I don't use this site very often, so I'm not very familiar with all the things on here, and how to use them! Ha ha. :) - 00ec83d7, Dec 14, 2011

There are a lot of resources here, it is worth investigating them. :-) - Stadt, Dec 14, 2011

Answer 2

Nobody does miles, it is actually quite archaic that we even use it in America.

Kilómetros por hora or km/h, if you want the real stuff!

Thank you for your answer, SaltSlasher. :) Actually, I can agree with that. Which is more common: ¿millas por hora o kilómetros por hora? I appreciate your help. :) - 00ec83d7, Dec 15, 2011

Answer 3

I think it`s not a silly question , is normal when you are leaning another language ,actually I had the same problem about how say km/h,m/s,etc in English obviously. - m/s is read as metros POR segundo. -km/h is read as kilómetros POR hora. You can also use POR in other cases like: I take English classes ten hours per week.Tomo clases de inglés diez horas POR semana

Thanks. :) - 00ec83d7, Apr 6, 2012
