Ex: El sol es caliente. La nieve es fría.

How did it go?
This one is taking longer to stick for some reason.

Was anything tricky or difficult?
I have a hard time remembering candle (vela), smoke (humo) and flame (llama), for some reason. And remember when to use caliente vs. calor. Going to take some practice to do this.

What would make it better next time?
I think practicing it in different contexts, maybe do more of the speaking, as that tends to make me think more.
