This week Saturday Night Live decided to take advantage of having three Spanish-speaking actors in the cast as host Ana de Armas, guest musician Karol G, and cast member Marcello Hernández join a Spanish class taught by Mikey Day.
The sketch is a relatable experience for any bilingual student who just needs a language credit to graduate. Armas and Hernández gleefully flex their Spanish chops in this sketch as Day slowly has a mental breakdown as the two take over his class.

“That was a little fast, that was a little fast por me,” Day says after asking the two for their names.
As the class continues, the two Spanish speakers correct Day on how elementary his knowledge of the language is.
“Yeah just so you know, no one in our country says ‘aci aci’,” Armas tells Day.
“No that’s like if somebody says ‘how are you?’ and then you say ‘that, that’,” Hernández says.
