This semester I'm teaching Elementary Spanish II. Basically, the second half of the Elementary Spanish textbook. After going over the syllabus and going through all of the preliminaries yesterday, I played this youtube clip for my students before they left and said, "I hope you guys learned more your first semester of Spanish than this poor guy." If you've ever taken any Spanish, you will completely relate, because this is actually the kind of stuff you learn to say first starting out. It's HILARIOUS. And his awful prounciation makes it even funnier. My favorite line is when he sings, "No remembro how to say eleven." Enjoy!

I've taken two semesters of spanish ... i'm not sure i'd do much better.
semester 3 of spanish is all that stands between me and graduation.
That's hilarious and right on the money! I actually started speaking Spanish to my students today and I was doing the same thing, just saying random stuff I had learned from my high school years! Of course, my 7th graders were impressed!
Love it! As a Colombian, who speaks Spanish yet still suffered through public school Spanish class, I really enjoyed that!
This is absolutely atrocious, but makes me laugh every time that I see it. Part of the reason why is that one of the guys in my AP class, whom we have no idea how he has mad it to year 5, watched this and said, "Huh? I didn't get any of that."
I just love people who pay attention.
