Mi Vida Loca

Question

Hey all you SpanishDicters! (I know it's not a real word. I made it up.) If anyone needs extra help with Spanish because you're going to a Spanish-Speaking country for school or vacation, go to google.com and look up "Mi Vida Loca." The title means, literally, My Crazy Life. It is a mystery show, and really addicting! It not only gives you entertainment, it also teaches you Spanish! Just like SpanishDict! We (my Spanish class and I) are watching it in class, and beg our teacher if we can watch it, and when she tells us that we can't, because we have to review for tomorrow's quest, everyone groans. I will give the actual URL in a moment. HAVE FUN!!!!

(By the way, it is on bbc.co.uk so the one you find that says that is the right one!)

I changed your title. Forum rules suggest we use meaningful titles. Welcome to the forum! - pesta, Apr 25, 2011

Answer 1

I agree - I recommend this highly to beginners.

I absolutely loved it. I got my wife hooked on it, and she's almost all the way through it. Great role-playing, interactive, exciting adventure story.

By the way, this feature and many others are listed on SpanishDict's Learning Resources page.

Answer 2

Fluffykitten77 says in another post:

My sister, fluffykitten777, posted a question (no, a statement!) about a show called "Mi Vida Loca." She didn't have time to tell you, but she is going to Spain! She left early this morning, and told me to tell all of you that if you have any questions about "Mi Vida Loca," you should ask me in an answer to this question! I know it sounds backwards, but whatever, you know?

Tienes un único noche! (correct me if I'm wrong on that Spanish!! Just saw the word of the day so I decided to utilize it!)

Answer 3

I have tried the 12 week course and found it quite interesting , but only as

another learning tool . I find that nothing beats the hard slog of studying

grammar and trying to memorise the verbs and their many conjugations , but we

all learn and study in different ways. And to be quite honest after about the

sixth episode I was sick and tired of "Merche " and her paranoia. It was a

welcome relief to get back to the relative sanity of SD .

Answer 4

mi vida loca is super-super helpful

bbc also offers this great game:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/games/destination/flash/western/index.shtml

(+ some other exercises like on this page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/spanish/grammar/)

has anyone ever played this game?

Answer 5

Thanks for sharing .

Answer 6

Welcome to the forum!

Perhaps you should edit your original post with your updates (like the link) instead of posting them as answers (to your own original post).

Also it would be good to make use of the comments feature.

Answer 7

Nope! A quest is in between a test and a quiz. My history teacher says that if you study it's a quiz, if you don't study, it's a test, so if you study a little, it's a quest!

Answer 8

Here is the URL!

Answer 9

we have to review for tomorrow's quest.

I presume that this is a typo ?

It's a colloquial combination of "test" and "quiz." You actually hear it a lot around here... - someone09, Apr 25, 2011
