It is for Spanish. The grammar is shit, but I don't care. Whenever our class does scripted stuff that we have written, it always has terrible grammar (hurray for not learning second languages in primary education!). I really don't care though because I had a hell of a fun time doing this with my friends, and it actually turned out a lot nicer than I thought it would.

My Spanish teacher has a weird sense of humor, so she'll probably give us an A, or something. She said we'd get extra credit for "animating" it. The funny part is, whenever we watch videos in Spanish, no one knows what the hell is going on anyway, so hopefully the class will like it based on the pictures when we present it.

What the fuck do you think?

Looking at it now, objectively, it is pretty fucking stupid. But I'm happy with it. It was fun to make.

You sound like Pedro.

That wasn't me. Another person in my group. He didn't do anything but read it, which was fine by me. I hate hearing my own voice. And towards the end we started being stupid. Like he starts getting into it, and then he goes completely monotone.

puta madre, somebody could have reviewed the script before actually recording the soundtrack. a little cleanup goes a long way.

however, the pedagogy-minded teacher will probably love this because it appeals to multiple "learning styles" & crap. though it's hardly understandable.

so you didn't learn spanish at home???

Alex's Trip 12.06.2007 11:51 PM

Nope. Not at all. It sucks too. It would have been great to learn a second language when I was younger.

It went over great though. Our teacher loved it.

ha ha. whatever works.

The people in class liked it too.

Foreign language classes in high school are a joke, seriously. I can read Spanish fairly well, and I can write things pretty simply, but anything beyond that? Probably not. And I'm one of the few A students in the class. It is ridiculously sad. And I'm jealous of other countries' school systems that require proficiency in a second language in primary education.

I gotta say I only understood about 5 words from all that. But, I enjoyed it

yeah. if you go to mexico & speak like that, you'll get strangled within 20' though.

Ah, I quit Spanish because I failed everything. I sort of regret not taking German.
Anywho, awesome video.
