Nuevo Destinos is now available free online

Question

For those of you who liked the original Destinos series you can now watch the sequel Nuevo Destinos for free on the PBS web site. http://www.learner.org/resources/series151.html?pop=yes&pid=1671#

It's basically a combination of some new material plus the original material. I've just started watching it so I can't tell you too much yet but Raquel has lost the 80's outfits with the big shoulder pads and has a slick new haircut!

Thanks! - 002262dd, Apr 19, 2013

Answer 1

When you click on the VoD link it will pop up the player in a popup window so if you are having problems viewing it then your browser is probably blocking popups. I had this problem in Chrome and I finally saw that in the right hand corner of the address bar (right next to the star you use for bookmarking) there was a little icon that's not usually there (I think it was red) and when I clicked on it I got the message about the popup being blocked.

Findy, I don't know if there is a transcript for Nuevo Destinos. There is one for the original Destinos that you can buy on the PBS web site for $45.95. Here's the link - http://www.learner.org/catalog/series75.html. I bought a copy of this but have found that I don't use it much.

Bill Van Patten, who designed Destinos, came out with a new movie a couple of years ago called Sol Y Viento which is similar to Destinos but a lot more modern. It's filmed in Chile and is about a family who owns a vineyard and an American company that's trying to buy their vineyard so they can build a dam in the area. It's got love, drama and a female lead that I challenge you not to fall in love with if you're a guy! It's got english and spanish subtitles. You can buy it at Amazon here - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0073202576?ie=UTF8&keywords=sol y viento&qid=1366245546&ref_=sr_1_4&sr=8-4.

Thanks, Mark! :) - Findy, Apr 18, 2013

Is there any way you could share the original video script , Didn't you find it useful - mark8508, Sep 11, 2017

Answer 2

Yay! I watched the first episode twice already and enjoyed it. I understood probably about 2/3 of the story, so at least got the gist of what's going on. Now I'm wondering if there is a transcript of the episodes so I can look up words I don't know yet, since I'm curious about what happened at the one (surprised expressions) part near the end.

Thank you very much, Mark, for the heads-up on this helpful resource.

To answer my own question... I found the quizzes for the episodes. Great practice. I'm really excited about the videos, etc. (But you can't tell, can you?) **bounces** - Findy, Apr 18, 2013

Do you have the link for that one on the quizzes? - katydew, Apr 19, 2013

Answer 3

I was able to access it. Look for the "VoD" symbol to the right of the episode titles.

Thanks for letting us know about this resource!

I did do that and it just opens up to the same page - a list of the episodes with VoD symbols on the right (over and over). :( I'll keep trying. Maybe I need to change some settings? - Findy, Apr 17, 2013

Okay, I did a search and just put Nuevo Destinos PBS for free, and now the VoD symbols work with that. Must have just been that link? - Findy, Apr 17, 2013

Thanks. That is a helpful hint. - katydew, Apr 19, 2013

Answer 4

Thanks for all the sharing everyone. This was a good find Mark.

Answer 5

These are amazing!!! I started watching them with the cc and it is helpful!! And better than Extra

Answer 6

Here's the link for the Annenberg Foundation website, where you can watch (old) episodes and take the quizzes that go with each section. Destinos I took the first quiz and it was helpful for picking out individual words from the dialog.

It seems a bit older, but I suppose you could watch the PBS version (updated), and then go here to take the quizzes.

Wow, thanks Findy, for that great find and the easy link. - katydew, Apr 19, 2013

Answer 7

Thank you SO MUCH for this- I loved Destinos and really enjoyed watching it- I am so glad this is now online!

Answer 8

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Answer 9

I looked at it, but all I can see for choices is to download it for $110 or buy the DVD's for $125. Maybe there's a different link?

Answer 10

What browser are you using? I have been unable to get it to work. (using Chrome)
