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!
