Bueno Entonces Reviews

I'm moving to buenos aires and BUENO, ENTONCES was recommended to me as a cool way to learn spanish. I really dig it so far. the concept is creative, it is fun to watch, and the content is challenging. I'm happy they don't dumb it down for you , but I can see why some people think it's a little fast. Truthfully, I had to watch the episode twice to feel I'd gotten everything. I love the ease of having it on my iphone and watching it at my convenience. It's hard for me to commit to a physical class (due more to laziness than time constrictions), so it is a great alternative way to learn spanish.

Bueno entonces. Spanish Classes Review

I gave a generally positive review of “Bueno Entonces” in Episode 23. I purchased another couple of episodes and my impression still stands: they are surprisingly well-done, professionally polished and entertaining…. the way these little episodes are set up really give you a feel for the way Spanish is structured. Additionally, I have to add that Jimena’s voice acting is superb. Seriously, she plays the “straight-man” role really well. Es decir, el personaje que hace de serio en una pareja de cómicos. I’d definitely recommend that you check these out—and if you’re on your way to Argentina, they are a *must.* It’s one of the very few resources out the that gives you a feel for the way people speak in Buenos Aires.

Fun, dynamic, and effective Spanish lessons.

Day 3 in Buenos Aires

I’ve had an AHA moment today. My teacher is very cute. His name is Martin and he’s 're-argentino'. That means REALLY Argentino in Argentino. He spent a year in Ireland teaching Spanish last year and he missed Buenos Aires a lot.. We talk a lot about Argentina and about the culture, about the crazy chaos of it all, the subversive attitude of the Argentines towards politics, finance, all that jazz. The Bulgarian likes to talk a lot about the Argentine girls, I don’t blame him. They mainly have very very long hair and are very pretty.


Martin says Bien, Entonces.. a lot. Or Muy Bien, entonces... I ask him why doesn’t he say Bueno, entonces (like the name of the course of course) and he explains that “Bueno,” often is something you say when you’ve had a enough of talking, or have had enough of talking about a particular subject. He explains that when somebody starts going, bueno bueno bueno on the phone, basically they are telling you that the conversation is over and they’ve had enough.

Fun, dynamic, and effective Spanish lessons

I’ve tried a whole slew of resources to maintain and improve my intermediate-level Spanish - magazines, private tutors, group classes, self-learning CDs, Spanish podcasts - but this is the first method I’ve tried that actually keeps me engaged and motivated. The characters Jimena and David are so charming, you are practically transported right to Buenos Aires with them. The visual component makes it about five times easier to learn and remember new words and grammar (versus most rich media language applications which are audio only). I’d strongly recommend this app to anyone looking to boost his/her beginning to intermediate level Spanish.

Getting there

Bus

Negotiating Paraguayan borders can be schizophrenic; on the bus, off the bus, on the bus… Ask the driver to stop at immigration (locals don’t always need to) and be sure your papers are in order. Note that some bus companies claim to travel further into Brazil than border towns, but actually change buses after crossing the border.

Boat

Boats cross into Asunción and Encarnación from Argentina, but immigration procedures are more complicated if entering by boat. With patience and stamina, unofficial river travel from Concepción to Isla Margarita on the Brazilian border is possible.

Air

Paraguay’s only international airport is in Asunción. Direct international flights from Asunción are limited to neighboring countries: Buenos Aires, Argentina; La Paz and Santa Cruz, Bolivia; São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Iquique and Santiago, Chile.
