Draw a pig, learn English
Take a creative break - with The Language Pig and The Armadillo Art Experience.
Option 1: Leg einfach los - spring zum Video und mach mit. Das geht auch (fast) ohne Englisch.
Option 2: Lies den kurzen Text, und nutze das Video vielleicht auch für Dein Hörverstehen. Anregungen dazu gibts unten.
My brother-in-law is an artist. In a normal year, he would spend the summer doing painting workshops, drawing community murals, selling his work at fairs and exhibitions, entertaining people with live-cartoon-drawing - and all sorts of other activities that involve social interaction.

So far I have learned to draw a sloth, sheep and a T-Rex.
This week, Simon included a pig in his jolly zoo of creatures.
