The challenge of teaching spanish through a sitcom

When I started to make LingusTV, I wasn’t very sure about which format I should choose to teach Spanish. A talk show? A news program? A comedy?

Toni and Joan convinced me to use the sitcom as the main content and we created ‘5 y acción’. I think it was a great idea. But for us it was a challenge to combine a convincingly acting while controlling the pronunciation speed and vocalization of the characters.

This is the reason why the first episodes are all advanced level. In the following episodes we shooted we worked hard in these aspects. You’ll see the diference in the next weeks…. ;-)

¿Y las chicas? Solo veo hombres en el foto. ¿Donde está la perspetiva feminina? Puedes ver que yo estoy una angloparlante.
Bueno: tienes una idea buena. Andalé.
