@funkeydanks, although it may appear so at first observation, there is a method to my madness. Many of my students found it confusing to see me point to *my* left and then have to point in the "opposite" direction (*their* left) in response--resulting in students who didn't know their izquierda from their derecha. In response, I recorded the video as if I were a mirror image and those problems magically disappeared. Good observation, most people miss the trick. (Also, I prefer "fool".)

oh my goodness, thankyou sooooo much for having this up here! You have know idea how frusterated I was with my spanish teacher today becaue she wouldn't give the spanish words to learn today; I have the movements down but the words not so great:/ I love her to death but I was quite angry with her. So I came home and looked up this cute little rhyme and your lifesaving video popped up! :D thank you thank you thank youuuuu!

@ftskgabby Glad I could be of help! It's not easy learning another language--find whatever works for how you learn and use it whenever possible. It sounds like it helps you to see and hear the words at the same time. Try a series of podcasts by HBO called "El Perro y El Gato". They are for kids (funny) and teach simple vocabulary words. Also try notesinspanish (dot) com/ for conversation. They sell the scripts to read along with the speakers and it is current Spanish. Good Luck! And pass it on!
