Morning, Ronnie Anne.
Thanks for the emergency early
morning vlog session.
[yawn]
Morning, Linc.
Always time to help a friend out.
Why don’t you tell everybody
what your big emergency is?
Great! So, I’m in the library
before school because
I’ve got a huge Spanish test
today on los animales. Animals!
I was studying last night,
but you know how hard it is
to concentrate at my house.
So, I asked Ronnie Anne if
she could help me study.
And because she’s the best friend
ever, she said yes.
Of course dude, happy to help.
Actually, I asked my Tío Carlos,
since he’s an expert on teaching
pretty much anything.
What you put in your body the
night before a big test is crucial.
Studies show that cutting out meat...
- Dairy...
Not the cheese!
and starches, can radically
improve your test scores.
[grunts]
For sure. I can use all the
help I can get.
Yeah, and he helped me
make these flashcards.
Oh, awesome!
And he said that whether you are
studying skateboarding or Spanish,
the key is to practice,
practice, practice.
So, let’s do it. How do say
frog in Spanish?
Uh...
Here’s a hint. Which of your
sisters has a pet frog?
Lana!
And what rhymes with Lana?
Oh, I remember. Frog is rana.
That’ll be an easy one to remember now.
Because Lana loves ranas.
Hops, sticky snack.
Bullseye!
I’ll take eleven more burgers please.
And I have another coupon.
Ugh, why is it so sticky?
Nice. How about this guy?
Oh, that’s Sergio. He’s a bird.
I know this one starts with a P.
Can you help me out?
Bird is pájaro.
And I’ve got a way for you to remember it.
That bird sure knows how to throw a party.
[music playing]
Sergio!
We’re busted. Scatter!
Ha-ha! A pájaro. Pa-jar-ty.
Pájaro means bird.
No way I’m forgetting that.
Alright, let’s moo-ove it
on over to the farm.
How do you say cow?
Cow, cow. Yeah, I’m gonna
need help with this one too.
The answer is vaca. Like
Dairyland Amoosement Park
is the perfect place to go on a vaca-tion.
Okay, the awesome radness
continues with item number two.
Ride the newest ride at
Dairyland, Fly Me to the Moo!
Ha-ha, nice, cow is vaca.
I’m not gonna forget that.
Not a chance.
Next one is…
A horse, hmm.
Mija!
Abuela’s calling. That must be
breakfast. I gotta go.
- Wait! When’s your test?
- It’s right after recess.
Okay, I’ll text you and we’ll
find a time to continue our vlog.
Amazing! Thanks, Ronnie Anne.
In the meantime, I’ll try and
remember how to say horse in Spanish.
Hey Lincoln! You ready to…
Caballo!
Nice, you got it right. Caballo is horse.
Yes!
Excuse me, please stop, pull over!
Oh, you wanna race? Let’s ride.
What? No, get back here!
Come on boy, let’s get ‘em.
[scream]
Whoa, horsey!
Ready to get back to the flashcards.
Actually, Sid had a great idea.
She thought we could play a
game with the flashcards
inspired by the amazing animal
sounds she makes.
Oh, yoo hoo! Kooka kooka kah!
Ah!
That sounds awesome! How do we play?
Okay, I’m gonna read the Spanish
side of the flashcard
and you have to tell me the sound
that the animal makes.
Um, yeah! Alright that sounds like fun!
Okay, first one, pato.
Pato, I feel like I know this one.
Can you give me a hint?
Okay, didn’t you tell me Walt
has this kind of animal as a girlfriend?
[music playing]
Oh yeah! Pato means duck.
And what sound does a pato make?
Right! Quack, quack, quack!
[laughing]
Awesome! I can’t believe
I got you to do that on our vlog.
I wanna make a sound next.
Go for it, Ronnie Anne!
Okay, what kind of animal
makes this sound?
[roaring]
Whoa! That roar almost knocked me over!
Well, what is it?
Hmm. Well that could be a lot of animals.
Name one.
Well it could be a bear.
They tend to roar like that.
[screaming]
Clyde, quick! Play dead!
Well, how do you say bear in Spanish?
Oh, I know this one. It’s a short word.
Oso?
That is how you say bear in Spanish.
But, osos are the only animals that roar.
Un leòn?
Not a lion.
Un tigre?
Nope.
Then I give up. What other animal roars?
El dragón of course.
What? Ha ha! I wish dragons
were on this test.
What about komodo dragons?
I can’t look!
Go fetch!
Yeah, komodo dragons are
definitely not on my vocab list.
Maybe it could be extra credit.
You’re gonna ace this test, dude!
Thanks, Ronnie Anne!
Let’s finish this vlog after school today.
I need to know how you did!
Sounds good.
Hey Lincoln.
Hey, Ronnie Anne. What a day!
Well, how do you think
you did on the test?
I think I did awesome!
Yay! Congrats, Linc!
Your study skills helped me out a bunch.
You’re an A+ study buddy!
Awe! Thanks so much dude!
Now it’s time for me to give
you a little Spanish quiz.
Oh, really? Bring it on.
Okay, in Spanish. What is your
favorite animal?
Err, that’s a tough one.
Perros are my favorite animal.
They’re all super cute and each
one has it’s own personality.
[dogs barking]
- Ah! Wait!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
But my favorite kind of dog, is a hotdog.
Morning Bruno, I’ll have the
Great Lakes City special.
One dog dragged through the garden.
You want a hotdog with the
works, at 9 a.m.?
Yup!
Ha-ha! Good one, Ronnie Anne!
What about you? What’s your
favorite animal, in Spanish?
Hmm, I’ve got a lot of pets and any
one of them could be my favorite animal.
[humming]
You ate the whole thing?
Ah! Finally someone who appreciates my
liverwurst shrimp and hot mayo casserole!
Ah! Usually eating it’s a one way
ticket to the sink or toilet. Huh?
[bowel sounds]
But if there’s one animal I can always
rely on, it’s conejos. Rabbits!
Yeah, you do love that Bun-Bun of yours.
Careful! You’re giving Bun-Bun an ouchie!
[laughing]
It was so good learning
Spanish with you today.
You too! Learning Spanish with
you and your family was so much fun!
Let’s do it again soon!
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot.
You know the podcast you
do with your family, Listen Out Loud?
I love it so much!
I was inspired to make my own podcast.
No way! That’s awesome! What’s it called?
It’s called the Casagrandes
Familia Sounds.
♪ The city’s alive
With sounds from all around ♪
♪ The Casagrandes Familia Sounds ♪
We talk about everything
from the business of dog washing
to mysterious hallway messes.
We even sing a little.
So cool! I can’t wait to give it a listen!
In fact, I’m gonna do that right now.
Thanks again for helping me study today!
See you next week, Lincoln!
