This is actually cool. It is not an absurd way of learning Spanish. Learning such would have been harder for someone with no prior knowledge of Spanish language, and seeing that you know how to converse in it, it's perfectly fine. Every little bit helps and this sure helps. This is way better than the last hahaha as you managed to give more clues and even answer some.

Maddie got two right and you got one, even though I will give you two as well since you gave a perfect clue to one, you just didn't say it exactly as it should.

You guys did well and it will get better.
