Destinos

¡Hola todos! Wondering if anyone out there still uses Destinos...I watched in high school and am now a teacher. I liked it and thought it was very helpful at the time but is it dated? Or are there any other comparable series out there that are more current? Gracias :)

They liked Extra but it's not really past 2nd year. Extra takes place in Spain.

There's a college level series, &q...See More

My students have enjoyed it, and I used it about 3 semesters as intro/review for level 2 or at the end of level 1.

They find the story line interesting, and they like the opportunity to listen to the Spanish. I believe it is a positive experience that helps my students to grow in their understanding of Spanish.
