Spanish Erizo ("Spanish Hedgehog") is my Spanish language learning brand. It all started with my YouTube channel designed to supplement my instruction in the elementary classroom. Many classrooms and students worldwide have come to enjoy my silly music videos, instructional clips, and episodes of "Pirro and Friends." Spanish Erizo has branched from videos to books too! Señor Hodge's Casa de Mascotas and Spanish GT Student Activity Guide are great for elementary classrooms. Spanish Erizo's official mascot, and my classroom sidekick, is Pirro, a small feisty hedgehog who helps students learn Spanish....when he feels like it.
