This is what you can never do!!! You'll be running a risk if you aren't careful when looking up words in a dictionary! Be careful when doing so; otherwise, you'll be misinterpreted or misunderstood. Literal translations from Spanish are dangerous!... Watch this as an example... by the way, have you got any idea about how to say those things he teaches in real English?

Lambert, the Sheepish Lion (INTERMEDIATE)
Approaching Xmas time... Although this is not a video about Xmas, I thought you may like it. I can give you some words which you have to look up in the dictionary (if needed) and which may help you when reconstructing the story.
These are the words: pick up, ewe, like best, lambs, drop him in the jungle, laugh, tease, tail, bleat, proud, fast asleep, awful sound, awful sight, petrified, gruesome sight, snapped inside of him.
By the way, can you understand the word 'sheepish' that you find in the heading? -ish is a suffix that we can use in English to mean 'something is similar to', so you've got words like sheepish to say Lambert was like a sheep. Likewise, you've got other words such as 'bluish', ''brownish', 'fortyish', etc
That's all folks! Have fun with Lambert!

The Littlest Santa Claus (INTERMEDIATE AND ABOVE)
Santa Claus is coming to town... we are all making our lists to give him..., but what would happen if we found a santa Claus like this one? ;) Watch it and try to understand at least the questions that Sarah's dad asks her.
