We Did It! Or Maybe Not…

This is dedicated to Dora, the Explorer and her “¡Lo hicimos!” We did it!

One of the huge projects that has deleted my blogging time is an iPhone application. I have no idea how it will be received, but we are putting everything we have into it. For the quiz part, a voice voices when the answer is right or wrong. I thought someone might find this interesting so I decided to post it here.

While there are many, many ways to say, "You did it!," here are a few that are used in our upcoming iPhone app:
