Episode 7: April Fool's Day Special!

Happy April Fool's! To highlight the day, not only am I posting this video a day late (lame joke, right? Ah well), but in this episode we talk about tongue twisters (trabalenguas), puns (calambures), and jokes (chistes)! Join me for some light-hearted fun to celebrate the first of April. :)
