Hey friends. Before we start the show, we want to give a quick shout out to a few members of our Patreon family.

That's right! We want to send out a big Ola to our amigos Wilder and Rigley, and their Padres, Patrick and Adrian.

We're so happy to hear that you all are having fun learning Spanish with us.

And we want to say thank you for being such wonderful listeners of our show and for singing all of our songs with us.

We also want to send a big Ola to our amigo Michael and his papa, Drew, and Mama Danielle. Michael, we're looking forward to getting a question from you so we can answer in one of our episodes.

It can be anything you want to know.

It could be your favorite animal or your favorite activity or maybe even the title of your

favorite book. The choices are endless. And last but not least, we've got a special announcement.

We didn't realize it until we had already released our last episode, but we had a question from one

of our Patreon listeners.

And believe it or not, their question was very similar to the theme of this month's lesson.

Starting today, we're going to make a special announcement when someone sends in a question that's similar to the theme of the month.

When it happens, you'll hear this sound.

Okay. of the month. When it happens, you'll hear this sound. So let's play it for real this time. Evan, sound the alarm! We've got a special announcement, everybody.

Our amigo Ren has a question that is super close to the theme from this month.

Ren, what is your question?

Hi, my name is Ren, and I was wondering how do you say animal in Spanish?

And what are your favorite animals in Spanish?

Aw, thanks so much for the question, Ren!

And way to go on guessing what this month's theme was going to be!

As we learned briefly in our last episode, the word for animal in Spanish is animal.

Can you repeat it after me?
