This is very good, Luke. Spanish is the (new) Latin of our times. So widespread, so many accents, and many cultures embracing it. It's very important in the United States. This is a practical romance language to learn and understand.

Back in high school Spanish class, the new Destinos episode was always the highlight of our week. Everyone was so engrossed in the story, it didn't even feel like we were intentionally learning Spanish in the moment- we just wanted to find out what happened next!

"Un melon, dos naranjas". We watched these in high school and people I know still reference and quote it 25 years later, so it definitely sticks with you.

The best way to learn a language is using every resource available and engaging in it as much as you can. You gotta adopt the language and make it part of your life. Use all of your senses and learn it in context. I recommend "Destinos" to all of my students. Raquel es un personaje tan entrañable.

I took Spanish through high school, and I very much remember Destinos

[juniusrabbinius]

Man, I have so many language learning projects and now you’ve added another. I’m gonna have to quit my day job soon.

[Cyclonus]

Mis profesores en la universidad utilizaron con frecuencia Destinos, en nuestros cursos. Por lo menos en nuestros primeros dos años. Era una buena manera para empezar consumir contento español, y para entrenar nuestras orejas. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[HasufelyArod]

I'm Mexican and I approve of this.

[ojovideo]

I’ve used the series to teach Spanish. Most of my students have liked it.

[PaleoalexPicturesLtd]

Thanks to this video I have discovered Destinos, which is really excellent ! Now I understand better that "one does not learn languages by actively learning but by understanding" ! I am so into the show that I almost forget this is a foreign language I am listening to !

[myspanishdiary]

7:28 you narrated it so well! I’m watching Destinos rn and I’m loving it

[mep]

So nice to hear you speaking Spanish. I hope everyone has a wonderful learning journey with Spanish or the language you're currently learning. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷👋

[maurizioraselli]

Utilissimo questo tuo video! Ho appena finito di guardarmi tutta la serie! Grazie Mille!

[whywouldyoudothat]

I have to watch this series for spanish class and I'm going to be honest,
I don't think I can handle 33 more episodes of this.

[lightbearer]

Wholeheartedly agreed, Luke. I started studying Spanish in 1994. I've always been good with languages, so I picked it up fast. Outside of school during the summer, though, I found Destinos airing daily on PBS, which allowed me to get ahead and develop some knowledge of complex grammar and vocabulary long before those concepts were actually introduced in my classes.

I now have a degree in Spanish and speak it fluently. My husband doesn't speak much but has long wanted me to teach him. Guess how I plan to do so? ;) I've bought the textbook and listening comprehension CD's and we'll go through everything as fast or as slow as we want. I've told him that within two or three years, he should be more than proficient enough to travel with me to Spain, which is one of our top destination goals. We've even talked about staying at the Príncipe de Vergara Hotel in Madrid (where Raquel stays during her time there).

De un Lucas a otro, ¡gracias por todo lo que haces! Me encanta tu canal. Mejores deseos desde Dallas, Texas. :)

[Manuel-bjug]

As a native Spanish speaker I agree. I really like how they portray each accent and culture

[lkapoc-cmeoypoy]

Language Transfer Spanish is the best Spanish course I’ve found.

[georgios_]

Ah, Spanish, my love. I feel like I've always been able to understand it, whole movies in Spanish in fact, but I've never been able to speak it myself. I've learnt French and Latin and taken a one year course in Spanish. I hope I can return to it soon

[Juliodax]

Me sorprendió ver esta serie "Destinos", nunca había visto o escuchado de ella. Me llamó mucho la atención que participaron un elenco de actores conocidos de aquella época de la década de 1990. Por ejemplo, el argentino Arturo Puig, que aparece en las primeras escenas de este vídeo de Polymathy.

this is where in 2019 I started my spanish through input experiment. I wached each episode about 3-5 times. I watches some with subtitses (in spanish to catch cognates). Sometimes without. This series is excelent. Absultly the best!
