Fifi (Fifi, Dave & Fev) visits El Patio!
El Patio had a very special visitor. Fifi Box (Fox FM, 6-9am weekdays) was brought blindfolded into one of our Wednesday morning classes for a ‪#BlackoutChallenge‬. When all was revealed, she slowly came to understand that she had to give a Spanish class! What ensued was a hilarious walk on the edge, with Fifi trying to muster up ANY WORD that she knew in Spanish - and making US feel good that we were catching on! Gracias Fifi, you're welcome back for a fiesta anytime!
