In this episode, we learn about the strong bond between Maria and her pet dog, Oscar. It takes only simple, but very important vocabulary to say, “I love you!”

Maria and Oscar have fun in the park, and we learn more of the most common words in the English language.

Maria is going out for lunch, but first she must choose which clothes to wear. She’d better hurry, or she will be late!

Maria’s mother waits all morning in the café. She will certainly have some questions for Maria, if and when she arrives!

Maria arrives at the café covered in mud, but her mother is unsympathetic about her bad luck. As it turns out, she has a surprise in store for Maria!

Maria’s mother has a surprise... she’s found a nice young man that she’d like Maria to meet! Maria really doesn’t know what to do.

As lunch arrives, Maria feels trapped... how can she tell her mother that she’s already in love with another man, and that Clark does not interest her at all!

Maria makes a daring escape from the restaurant. She has a date with Spencer and doesn’t want to be late. Her mother and Clark are left behind, looking displeased.

Look out for more essential vocab words in this video, as Maria hides from her mother and Clark, and her friend Molly comes to the rescue.

When Maria arrives home, her dog Oscar is waiting for her, and Spencer has brought her a gift! Maria decides it’s time to introduce Spencer to Oscar.

Oscar the dog has been very bad, but Maria and Spencer have no time to hang around... they’re off to the movies. It’s just too bad that Clark sees them as they walk to the theater!

Maria and Spencer are seen by her mother and Clark as they go on a date. Desperate to be left alone, Maria decides they must write a note to her mother, and Spencer agrees.

Maria’s mother and Clark read the note that Spencer wrote, which states that he loves Maria. Will Maria and Spencer at last be able to enjoy a movie date on their own?

Spencer asks Maria where she would like to take Oscar, her dog... but when they set off in his car, clouds of smoke start coming from the engine!

With the car repaired, Maria and Spencer go to pick up Oscar, who has been waiting patiently for them all day... but the hungry and over-enthusiastic dog immediately finds himself in trouble.
