Ana de Armas joins a Spanish class in ‘SNL’ sketch
This week Saturday Night Live decided to take advantage of having three Spanish-speaking actors in the cast as host Ana de Armas, guest musician Karol G, and cast member Marcello Hernández join a Spanish class taught by Mikey Day.
The sketch is a relatable experience for any bilingual student who just needs a language credit to graduate. Armas and Hernández gleefully flex their Spanish chops in this sketch as Day slowly has a mental breakdown as the two take over his class.
“That was a little fast, that was a little fast por me,” Day says after asking the two for their names.
As the class continues, the two Spanish speakers correct Day on how elementary his knowledge of the language is.
“Yeah just so you know, no one in our country says ‘aci aci’,” Armas tells Day.
“No that’s like if somebody says ‘how are you?’ and then you say ‘that, that’,” Hernández says.

Contestants on Spain’s show prepared the menu with top chef Rakel Cernicharo for 120 staff at Valencia aquarium.
The episode was filmed in January and screened on Monday night.
One of the workers hit by vomiting and diarrhoea tweeted: “I had to go to the ER. I lost five kilos in three days.
“Thank you MasterChef for the worst gastronomic experience I have ever had in my life.”
Among items used for the banquet were oysters, clams, mussels and algae.
The Ministry of Health is investigating.
Show producer Shine Iberia said: “We are very sorry for the indisposition expressed by some of the diners.
“This is an absolutely exceptional case.”

Inside UK’s most beautiful seaside towns which look like they’re ABROAD… get ‘Caribbean’ sands & Spanish sun from home
A TRIP to a gorgeous sunny beach is something many of us crave – but there’s no need to hop on a plane.
The UK is home to a number of stunning seaside towns that will make you feel like you’re lapping up the sunshine in Spain or sipping a cocktail in the Caribbean.
Barafundle Bay in Pembrokeshire boasts a stunning stretch of golden sand[/caption]
St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall looks like a foreign destination[/caption]
Holkham Beach in Norfolk is lined with stunning beach huts[/caption]
Dotted around the country are beaches that could easily be mistaken for an exotic resort.
St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall looks like it has been ripped out of a travel guide on northern France.
The tidal island complete with a medieval castle sits in the middle of Mount’s Bay and is often cut off by the sea.
But it can be accessed by foot during low tide from the town of Marazion.
Meanwhile in Norfolk, Holkham Beach is a sprawling spot to relax by the sea.
It could easily be mistaken for South Africa with its picture-perfect stretches of golden sand and line of candy-coloured beach huts on stilts.
But Holkham Beach has a strong contender in the form of Barafundle Bay in Pembrokeshire.
The glistening Welsh bay had impressively clear blue waters and gleaming sand just calling to be laid on.
It has even often been named as one of the world’s best beaches.
Also in Cornwall is Summerleaze Beach – home to Bude Sea Pool, which is reminiscent on Sydney‘s Bondi Icebergs Pool.
The sea pool is partially manmade and is built into the rocks.
Its website boasts that it has “provided a haven for free and safe bathing and other water-based activities since the 1930s”.
And the Isle of Mull of the Inner Hebrides is home to beaches that are real hidden gems.
The Northern Lights can even be seen sparkling from the bays as the island has very little light polution.
Meanwhile the Valley of the Rocks, Devon, is one of the most breathtaking places to take in views of the sea.
Its spectacular scenery is centred around a dramatic section of coastline and is enough to make any jaw drop.
It comes after a UK pub received rave reviews – with some punters even comparing it to holiday hotspots in Spain.
The soaring cost of flights has got an increasing number of people considering staycations this year, rather than a trip abroad.
Fortunately there are plenty of locations in the UK where holidaymakers can get a similar experience, without the hassle of trip overseas.
One of those places is Whitstable in Kent, with a famous pub overlooking the sea.
The Old Neptune is described online as an “intimate Victorian inn with period decor” that offers “pub-grub, plus live music”.
The Neppy, as it’s known to locals, sits right on Whitstable beach, meaning people can order themselves a cold pint, while sitting looking out to sea.
Customers love the unique experience it offers, with one even comparing it to holiday hotspots further afield.
In a review on TripAdvisor, they wrote: “Table service on the beach patio, with a varied menu and a good selection of beers.
“Went there specifically to try the local gin. and stayed for lunch, the fish selection box. Ideal for a beach side lunch. was just like being on the Costas.”
Meanwhile, the most beautiful beaches in the UK have been revealed.
Kynance Cove, a small beach in Cornwall, took the top spot, beating Newquay’s popular Fistral Beach and Brighton Beach.
The study, conducted by luxuryhotel.com, analysed Instagram data and beach length to find ones with the highest “hashtags per metre”.
Kynance Cove, located in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall, came in at number one with nearly 55,000 hashtags, despite measuring just 200m long.
Brighton Beach, while it had more than 900,000 hashtags, is one of the longest on the list, measuring three miles.
And Cornwall’s Fistral beach also made the top three, which is popular with the annual Baordmasters festival.

Jackbox Games has released a free update that localizes the games in its Party Pack 9 bundle. That means that party games like Fibbage 4, Roomerang, and Quixort are now available in French, Italian, German, Latin American Spanish, and Castilian Spanish.
