Well, today’s been emotional and educational. I learned more from your comments than I might have wanted to. I’ve been called a misogynist and sophomoric (twice) which at my age I think is awesome (although its awesomeness was diluted by the fact I had to google it).
Anyways, thanks to you lot this is what we’ve [...]
We’ve finally reached the end of week four, therefore, class 24 was the standard end-of-the-week review. Don’t be lulled to sleep though – Bueno, entonces…learn Spanish worked its usual magic by introducing many new concepts, even more than they generally do. In addition to reviewing por vs para and ser vs estar, we also learned [...]
The title – a reference to class 14′s discussion about double negatives and their acceptance and requirement in Spanish as opposed to English where they are reserved for characters in Deliverance.
This class continued our nice run of informative classes and gave me dí©jí vu about a recent experience of mine. Once a week, I take [...]
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.
Today’s class used David’s attempt to seal the deal with his hot neighbor as a platform for discussing the “telos (sex hotels)” of Buenos Aires [...]
Bueno, entonces… In today’s lesson, I continued to learn the remaining numbers from 11-100. Simple. I was also taught about trabajo and different types of empleados and their significa. The lesson also covered some more formal greetings and responses.
Example:
“Hola, que tal?”
“Bien, y usted?”
(Formal) “Bien, es un placer/gusto”
(Informal) “Bien, encantado!”
I think I’ve got this greeting thing [...]
Well, I was reviewing my last post and I realized that for the first time since I started Bueno, entonces… Learn Spanish and started blogging, that I didn’t say ONE nasty thing about David. I was starting to think that he had turned a corner and realized his attempt at a Mr. Suave act with [...]
I couldn’t wait to get back to the next class since I knew the subject matter would once again revolve around food. But I had forgotten that David was also going to get a little lesson in mate.
If you know anything about Argentina, you know that drinking mate is a very social event. For the [...]
Today is David’s cumpleaños! Wahoo! Jimena starts the class off by singing Feliz Cumpleaños to him, and he has a rather interesting response to it…
Anyway, today is also the Saturday repaso with Jimena. David tells Jimena that he is going on a trip to weekend—he had his palm read by a beautiful woman and she [...]
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.
David is pretty worried, because the boy is a nene (or baby) and David’s mother is paying for the pasajes y todo. Appropriately, we learn all about travel [...]
David comes to his Spanish classes in a significantly better mood. His father is coming back to reconquistar his mother. No way is he letting this Argentine tango nene steal his mujer!
Jimena is also planning to get back Martín, and David wants to win over Mariana once more. This is where the vocabulario de romance [...]

If you are one of the thousands of people who bought a boring software program or antique audiobook that is gathering dust in your closet, we hope you give Bueno, entonces... a try. We are positive it will be the last learn Spanish program you'll ever need.
