Don´t misunderstand me but this week we´ll be talking about misunderstandings!!

Do you know The Monty Phyton?


They were a British comedy group that created the influential Monty Python's Flying Circus, a British television comedy sketch show that first aired on the BBC on 5 October 1969. They have been incredibly popular since then. Hope you enjoy this video on misunderstandings (Spanish subtitles).
