Welcome to our Destinos conversation space! Please contribute. Let us know what you think about: 1)This new Destinos site, 2) Using a telenovela as a learning resource, 3) Challenges we face in learning Spanish, or 4) Content corrections, additions, or other improvement suggestions.
There is only one set of audio files for both the textbook and workbook/study guides. Each audio file is used for both. The textbook contains the “script” and reading that goes with the audio file. The Workbook (Manual de actividades) contains the actual blanks to be filled in while listening to the audio file.
The audio is specifically designed to “talk” you through both the textbook and workbook activities. For example, a narrator will say, “Lección uno. Comprensión. Ejercicio A…” and then provide the audio content used to respond to the workbook questions & activities.

The Q&A content needed attention. Originally (a long time ago) I included two different sets of questions from various sources. But the questions were redundant, some answers were wrong, and the number of questions was overwhelming. With a little AI help I went through every episode and combined the Q&A sets, grouped the questions, and checked the answers. It took three long, tedious days to complete. I hope you like the results.

Please send suggestions and ideas. I will continue to update the site based on feedback.
Thank you for putting this together! I found your resources on the old site invaluable, and I’m so glad you’re keeping them up.
Right now, the website is not mobile-friendly. If that’s something you would like help with, I am a software engineer and could help.
Should be good to go on your mobile. I just didn’t take time before initial launch to check the mobile views. Thanks.
Hola! I am just beginning my journey to learning Spanish. I was excited about this website. I appreciate the time and effort that you have put into making this possible. Thank you for continuing to create and share these resources. This will become apart of my family night activities. I look forward to seeing the growth of this website and wishing you continued success.
Feedback: I am having some difficulty viewing the videos in the theater, but I am able to hear the audio. I think that the website is easy to navigate and I can easily locate the materials for each episode.
Tom, ¡gracias por esta maravilloso sitio web! Está muy bien diseñado, es muy fácil de navegar, resulta entretenido y, por supuesto, es muy valioso. Estoy disfrutando muchísimo de mi recorrido por él. Espero darle más comentarios en el futuro.
Gracias, Paula. Ojalá su viaje a España es perfecto para usted y su familia. Nos vemos pronto. Tom
Thomas, this is amazing. I haven’t even begun to explore everything. It’s so well organized. I love having the videos and documents all in one place. I also like the vocabulary and the rest of the tools of course. Looking forward to sharing it in my classes.
Thanks, my friend. I have a little work to do on the Q&As. Some things are off. But I will have things fixed within days. Tom
As one of Mark’s students, I can attest to the gratitude we all feel for what Tom has created here. Beautifully done, thank you for preserving this treasure.
Thomas, this is a wonderful resource! Thank you so much. I started with Destinos about 6 months ago but was trying to get the workbook and the textbook from different sites and watching on the Annenburg site. It got to fiddly. I am excited about restarting this journey and having the ease of everything in one place. Thank you again!
Thank you so much for putting this together. Nice to have it all in one place
Hello Tom,
Thanks so much for putting this together! I’m excited to start watching Destinos. However, right now I only have my Android phone and can’t get the theater to display visually.
Any updates or suggestions?
Thank you so much,
Cynthia
What a wonderful collection, thank you for all the hard work Tom. I’ve just spotted that for Episode 12, the link to the workbook file seems to be broken (it links to dropbox which says the file has been deleted). Hope it’s an easy fix for you, thank you!
Thanks for the heads up. Some of the Q&A files have errors, so I likely broke the link when I fixed the errors for that episode.
Will fix right now.
Thanks.
Tom
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!!!
This site is beautiful!!
So user friendly.
I am tears.
The best set up for Destinos EVER.
Helen, thanks so much. Your kind words make all the work seem worth it. It has been a labor of love.
Muchas gracias.
Tom
Hi, I’ve just started to learn Spanish and these resources are really beneficial so far. Thank you for putting these back together and making them accessible again. It really means a lot to a beginner like me. ¡Muchas gracias por todo!
