Driving lessons are something most of us will face at some point in our lives. Want to attend Elmo's class? Listening comprehension is the challenge here with their fast-paced accents, but you'll also see how the future tense is used to express doubt and learn a structure to say you're too much of a certain way to do something. (But we're never too old to watch Sesame Street, especially when it's to learn Spanish!)
