As a longtime Spanish learner I have tried many different methods of  learning. I’ve gone to classes, tried many software programs, audio lessons, read books and workbooks, conversed with native speakers… you name it and I’ve tried it.

One thing I have  discovered is that oftentimes, as learners, we’re often using only one of our senses and not truly being forced to understand what we’re learning. We’ll repeat or rewrite and go on with our lives. With audio, we’re left to wonder how things are written, and with written exercises we’re often wondering how you might pronounce the words.

The great thing about Bueno, Entonces… is that we’re given the opportunity to incorporate more than one learning style. We can read, speak, AND write as we learn (yes, don’t forget the pause button!) As all good teachers know, the more senses you can incorporate into a lesson the better you’ll learn. The “Magic White Board” (Pizarra Mí¡gica) displays the words as the action takes place. Beginning students will learn from the lessons and more advanced students will find a lot of value in listening to the conversations that occur between “lessons”. Jimena and David have great chemistry and make the lessons fun.

There is high replay value because unlike most conversations you’re bound to have with a native speaker, this one has pause and rewind buttons! I’d recommend letting the words and lessons flow over you a few times before you worry too much about understanding every word and grammatical nuance. Use these as another element in your learning toolbox and you’ll find high value in the variety of learning opportunities and you’re likely to have fun, too!

Hey Everyone! We are Miniature Studios and we have created, Bueno, entonces… The best animated Spanish Language learning program in the history of the World.

So just to give you a little background about the program Bueno, entonces… started out as a learn Spanish iPhone, iPod touch application  and it was such a success that we decided to put the program on DVD as well as make it available for Instant Download AND now any iPod with a video function. We are really excited to now be able to offer the program to a wider audience.

You should also check us out on Facebook AND Twitter! Last month we gave away a FREE TRIP TO ARGENTINA to one of our Facebook Fans, Vibeke Brethouwer from New Zealand! She’s going to be coming down here to visit us for a month and we are all really excited to meet her! Starting next week (Monday April 4th) we will be doing weekly prize giveaways (iPods, iTunes certificates, DVDs…), and the winners will be picked from our fan base.

We are using Twitter to keep track of all kinds of cool stuff we find on the internet. We know that you can’t learn Spanish by using only one method so we decided to help supplement our videos with Music, Games, Slang Dictionaries and way more. We will put some of that stuff on this blog as well but to keep really up to date, follow us there!

We have a lot more to say but for now that’s all. Until next time, check out a video clip from our program!
