Our characters are trying to demonstrate that they, too, are true
Fans del español

What will they have to do? What will their tasks be? The clue is in a message
recorded by Andy and Tess, two former
Fans del español
. This is what Andy
and Tess say in the message:
Personajes famosos
Las tareas
Andy: Hola, amigos, ¡bienvenidos a Fans del español! Ya saben quién soy,
¿verdad? Sí, soy Andy, y estoy aquí con Tess para guiarlos por el emocionante
mundo del español.
Tess: Hola. Yo soy Tess y estoy encantada de participar en esta nueva
aventura del español. ¡Ustedes van a aprender y a divertirse mucho! Estas
son las tareas que deben realizar. ¡Tomen nota!
Andy: Seguro que les interesa mucho el tema de las personas y la familia,
¿no es cierto? Pues van a investigar sobre él.
Tess: Y van a completar unas tareas, claro.
Andy: Primero, van a familiarizarse con unos personajes muy particulares
de la cultura hispana… ¡para escribir una tira cómica!
Tess: Después, van a investigar sobre familias y cuadros famosos.
Y van a elaborar una audioguía para la página web de su escuela.
Andy: Y, por último, van a entrar en el fascinante mundo de las leyendas
tradicionales…
Tess: Y deben inventar una leyenda.
Andy: Les deseamos mucha suerte y esperamos que lo pasen muy bien.
¡Hasta pronto!
