WHAT IS Bueno, entonces... exactly?


Bueno, entonces... is the best selling language-learning program for the iPhone, now available on DVD and instant download! Featured by Apple as New & Noteworthy, tens of thousands are already learning Spanish with Bueno, entonces…

Taking the most effective elements from traditional audio books and software programs, Bueno, entonces... has revamped language-learning by incorporating those features into a 1-on-1 Spanish lesson format, where you sit in on private classes with fresh audio/visual teaching tools, a huge improvement over programs currently available on the market.

Bueno, entonces... takes you inside 30 private Spanish lessons with Jimena, a gorgeous Spanish instructor, and David, her jackass student from London as he learns Spanish in beautiful Buenos Aires. Like learn-Spanish reality TV, but without the guilt of getting addicted, because in just 5 weeks you'll be speaking Spanish conversationally.

Ecuador’s schools are poor even by South America’s generally low standards. Although almost all of its children enroll in primary education, fewer than two-thirds make it to secondary school. By 2015 Mr Correa, a former economics professor re-elected for a second term in April, wants state schools to match the quality of elite private ones like the LycĂ©e La Condamine in Quito, which his own children attend.
