In this video, Fermin explains the most common mistakes people make when caring for their plumerias and teaches us how to best take care of this beautiful plant.

In the first part of this lesson, Fermín explains to us what the different parts of a car's exterior are called in Spanish.

After learning vocabulary related to the different parts of a car's exterior, it's time to learn about the parts of the interior. Let's learn the words for their names and functions in Spanish!

In the final part of this lesson, Fermín talks to us about such driving-related topics as traffic regulations, signs, and the types of roads there are in Spain.

Are you familiar with the Spanish expression that can be literally translated as "to be with two candles"? Find out the meaning of this and more frequently used Spanish idiomatic expressions that Fermín has compiled for your learning pleasure.

Fermín teaches us more colorful idiomatic phrases in Spanish to recognize and put into practice.

Can you guess the English equivalents of common Spanish idiomatic phrases that literally mean things like "to come from pearls," "from the milk" and "even in the soup"? Let's find out from our friend Fermín, who will both explain them and use them in context.

In Hello Chamo, a song by Venezuelan singer Félix Carlos, he takes us on a tour of the streets of New York as he encounters some of his fellow Venezuelans— some of them well-known— who also live in the city. The rhythm of the song is the traditional Calypso from the El Callao municipality, a festive beat that contrasts his sad narration about immigration.

Felipe Calderón is running for president of Mexico as the candidate of PAN, Partido Acción Nacional. “The National Action Party” is also the party of Mexico’s current president, Vicente Fox. Felipe’s campaign slogan? Para que Vivamos Mejor, “So we can live better.” We know there must a word play parody of this phrase, but we haven’t found it yet!

Does Felipe Calderón love his children? We are quite sure that he does. If this promotional video for the possible heir to fellow PANista Vicente Foxe seems to you to have a “North of the border” slickness, it may not be simply coincidental.

Harvard-educated Felipe Calderón, who the New York Times calls “a dapper man who speaks with all the fire of an economist,” is perceived as the safe, business-friendly presidential candidate. This video carefully cultivates a persona antithetical to the rougher-hewn López Obrador.

Federico Kauffman Doig began his career at the Museo Rafael Larco Herrera as a security guard. Today he is president of that institution and one of the world’s most respected archeologists, as well as a delightful and engaging speaker! This program originally appeared on Televisión Nacional del Perú as part of the esteemed artistic series, Presencia Cultural.

Federico was something of a wanderer in his early days, and describes himself as having been a “pre-hippy.” His father, intent that his son be something other than a vagabundo, probed Federico for any hint of passion, any calling. “It’s called archeology!” he yelled upon hearing that the young man enjoyed exploring ancient ruins.

If you are not yet a fan of Señor Doig, you don’t have a pulse! His jungle expeditions have led to the discovery of everything from the anatomically-blessed Pinchudos statues to the giant upright mummies found in a site known as Carajía. We’re ready for an expedition!

Federico Kauffman Doig has received the highest title the Peruvian government gives in honor of cultural achievment, Amauta. Sweden and Austria have also bestowed him with awards and titles. So is he ready to join the ranks of jubilados? No way! He still explores cliffs 4000 meters high and has far too many unfinished essays to even consider it for un momentito.
