Carlos and Natalia,
Great show! Very entertaining! Natalia, you’ve got to go easy on Carlos… you might hurt his feelings!!! 
But seriously, I found this lesson insightful.
I was familiar with the word “dicha”, but not this usage as an interjection. For example, I had heard “tengo la dicha de quererte” (I have the good fortune of loving you) or “me siento dichoso” (I feel fortunate), so it was interesting for me to hear “¡qué dicha!” in this sense.
Keep up the good work and, indeed, welcome to the family!
Saludos,
Joseph
