Speaking Assignment: San Fermín

Do you remember when we talked about San Fermín? That is the fiesta that happens every July 7 in Pamplona, Spain, and involves people running through the streets of Pamplona just ahead of the bulls. There is a song that "counts down" to this event that you are going to memorize and record in this section. Click on the play icon in the audio player below to listen to the song. Read the words as you listen. You need to record yourself either saying or singing the part in bold.

Uno de enero Uno de enero, Dos de febrero, Tres de marzo, Cuatro de abril, Cinco de mayo, Seis de junio, Siete de julio, ¡San Fermín! La, la, la, la, la, la, la ¿Quién ha roto la pandereta? La, la, la, la, la, la, la El que la ha roto la pagará.

First of January First of January Second of February Third of March Fourth of April Fifth of May Sixth of June Seventh of July, San Fermín! La, la, la, la, la, la, la Who has broken the tambourine? La, la, la, la, la, la, la Whoever has broken it will have to pay for it.

Please remember that the way to say the first of any month is not as it is in this song.
