Bueno Entonces Reviews


I just started using this app, but already I'm totally loving it. I've tried a variety of other language apps and podcasts and I usually get very bored, very quickly. The format here (i.e. using the backstory of someone who is *actually* trying to learn the language too) is a very cool twist. I also love all the conversational words/tips. The symbols/color keys also rock. So far, big thumbs up! by FIPSbk

Currency Converter

Use this currency converter to calculate how much your currency is valued at in any other country of the world. In some countries of South America the currency fluctuates continually (based on the value of the U.S. dollar) and residents become accustomed to using a currency converter (or checking the newspaper) daily to view the exchange rate for a particular day. In other countries the currency is more stable.

Bueno Entonces Review. Take a look at it!


Prior to moving to Argentina, I spent several years working at an investment firm in Los Angeles. After the financial market collapse, I decided that it was time for me to try something different and accepted a consulting job in Buenos Aires. I set off for this new experience knowing only basic Spanish.

The first few weeks were very frustrating. This was the first time that I was living and working in a city where I did not speak the native language. I was not prepared for how difficult it was going to be to learn Spanish! My biggest hindrance in learning the language was finding the time. With a full work week and the time required to adjust to a new city, I just didn’t have the time to take classes.

I found out about “Bueno, entonces” through a friend who heard they were organizing a focus group to test the product. I joined so that I could try the program in exchange for writing a review.

I was very pleasantly surprised with how great the program was and how quickly my Spanish improved. While some of the beginning classes were below my skill level, I still found it helpful to have them reinforce basic grammar and conversational vocabulary. As the classes continued, I found myself getting pulled into the story line of David and his teacher Jimena, and also learning more and more Spanish.

Happy Spring!!!


September 21st is officially the first day of spring in the Southern Hemisphere. Spring certainly has arrived in Paraguay - some trees look like they exploded into bloom, flowers hanging from every branch and twig. Naturally the first day of spring is cause for celebration in Paraguay; today is "Día de la Juventud," (Day of Youth). "Jóvenes," or youths, celebrate by exchanging small gifts and having parties. It is also customary to recieve flowers from older family members.

El 21 de septiembre es oficialmente el primer día de la primavera en el Hemisferio Sur. En definitivo la primavera ha llegado al Paraguay - algunos árboles parecen haber explotado, flores brotando de todos sus ramos. Naturalmente el primer día de la primavera es motivo de celebración en Paraguay; hoy es el "Día de la Juventud." Los jóvenes celebran con fiestas e intercambiando regalitos. También se acostumbra recibir flores de miembros más viejos (o mejor para no ofender, "más maduros") de la familia.

In Asunción the Viceministerio de la Juventud is having a music festival all day in front of the Centro Cultural de la República El Cabildo (the pink building downtown - Avenida de la República between 14 de Mayo and Chile). The Municipality of Asunción has also organized the four day "Primavera de la Guitarra" (Spring of Guitars) festival featuring national and international guitar players.

Studying Abroad Questions and Answers

BETWEEN PANAMA AND PARAGUAY, WHICH IS BETTER FOR STUDY ABROAD?

I have a preference to go to Panama or Paraguay. Central America or South America? My idea is to sense spanish improved as well as to be surrounded by culture. Which nation would give me a most appropriate experience. My Spanish is utterly glorious though not proficient sufficient that is because we am starting abroad for 6 weeks. Which nation would we collect as well as why?

She won a trip to Argentina, to study Spanish


Oh, San Telmo...

Before I move on to telling you all about my time at the in-laws, I need to tell you about San Telmo how I love San Telmo and how I haven’t spent enough time there. Sundays in San Telmo are lovely.. they get a bit touristy but the street music and street theatre are just really charming. There’s a student orchestra that plays in the middle of the street in Defensa and I can listen to them forever.

San Telmo is very very tango, has gorgeous antiques and an antiques market on Sunday, but also a shop where I found my new favourite bag, made out of a recycled inner tube. It’s made beautifully and the strap is made out of a bicycle inner tube. Love this stuff, and goes well with my crazy bag collection.
