@JEngelMattern try more INDIRECT sunlight—lots more—and orchid food once a week. It looks very healthy otherwise. 👏

@Jessicawhippl17 According to Berlitz, in South America you would simply say "son las dieciocho" —as far as I know, they don't say oh for zero either, so "dieciocho cero ocho"=18:08; also "dieciocho con ocho" alternately "y ocho"

What has the biggest impact on children's life chances? It's not test scores or socio-economic background. It's READING FOR PLEASURE! So never stop sharing books with kids, and helping them to read. It will change their lives. #literacy
