How would you ask "how are you?" or "how's the weather?"

I'm trying to learn a little so when I take Spanish next year it won't be too complicated.

By the way, my email address is rso87@hotmail.com if it's easier that way.

Hope to hear from you again=)

Spanish isn't too complicated to learn.Unlike English it is inflected,that means that each verb employs a different ending depending on who is doing the action.Also nouns are either masculine or feminine and have a different ending depending on which they are.I hope these phrases are of use to you and if you check out the site in my previous post you should find it helpful.
Adios y hasta luego(Goodbye,till later).

Is Spanish more similar to French or Tagalog (Filipino). How can you tell if it's feminine or masculine?

Oh, and the website's great!
