La Palta Se Fue: A Review of Bueno, entonces…Spanish Lesson # 29

So…I haven’t taken a break. I think Bueno, entonces…episodes #28, #29, and #30 need to be watched one after the other. I mean, honestly, after the Jimena jealousy and rant about Martí­n, how could I stop?

Might Need The Black Light For This One: A Review of Bueno, entonces…Learn Spanish Lesson #20

Edgy, unrelenting, and borderline inappropriate at times: ways I would describe class 20, and ways many of my friends would describe my sense of humor. So it was a perfect match.

El Servicio Completo: A Review of Bueno, entonces…Class #23

David’s mother is a cougar!

Her tango partner, a much younger Argentine, has apparently “fallen in love” (with her money) and now the two are going away to Mendoza.
