It’s been a while in the works, and technical difficulties have nealry crippled our efforts. This is hard to do when it’s just kids working on it!

Their first attempt is a Spanish gameshow!

It’s worth noting that our hostesses (and no, I never could get a guy to do this!) are hunting for clues to have a party!

Here’s the episode.

It’s odd, I wonder if any gentlemen will step up to make an episode this year. Why is it that the girls are braver?

Anyway, guys, we need an episode from you!

Due to some unfortunate class changes (they finished my course and moved on to new and different things) and our inability to work around the confines of the school schedule, I’ve been frantically searching for new hosts. I’ve found two (well, they found me, actually) and they’ve stepped up to the plate. They’ll begin shooting Tuesday and hopefully we’ll see a new episode by the end of the week!

Thanks for standing by us…

I thought it would be great if you learned the word for ocean. Ocean is océano in Spanish, please notice that there is an accent mark over the E.

In case you would like to be more specific, Atlantic is Átlantico, Pacific is Pacífico, Indian is Indio, and Arctic is Artico.

Thanks for learning with us!

Your Friend,

Kirby

I thought you might need this one because you always have them with you. It’s always great to be able to say what you have with you. In English, we say backpack, in Spanish we say mochila.

Since the holidays are near, I think that it would be useful to learn the word for Christmas. Also, if you were to wish someone a Merry Christmas you say, “Feliz Navidad!“. Happy Holidays!

Your friend,

Kirby
