Mi vida loca Posted by Adir on Sep 8, 2008 in Spanish Culture, Spanish Grammar, Spanish Vocabulary
I’m a helpless internet addict and as a teacher I’m always looking for alternatives to supplement my classes. While surfing the web, I came across this course, by BBC Online, called Mi Vida Loca. It’s a mystery series and it has tons of audio, video and explanations both in English and in Spanish. There are 22 episodes (it takes about 15 minutes to complete each one) and it’s a lot of fun! There are grammar, vocabulary and listening exercises. Check it out at http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish/mividaloca.
Hope you like it!

I love our pages and insight into Spanish. I have been speaking Spanish for decades but love to continue to refresh my knowledge since I live in an English speaking world.
Rodney:
Mi Vida Loca is a good course. It’s actually very interactive giving you various options to vary the course/outcome of the series. I love it.
It’s really great for beginners. This post reminds me I need to finish it.
Becky Girmann:
I have created worksheets to go along with each Mi Vida Loca episode for use in my classes. Contact me if you would like copies!
Jbelgrave:
@Becky Girmann I would love a copy of the worksheets that you made for Mi Vida Loca.
Peter Rodgers:
Becky,
I’m just teaching Spanish to Y9 at the end of the KS3 French course to give them a new start. I’m using Mi vida loca and would really appreciate your worksheets because I’m not really a Spanish teacher.
All the best

Hola,
Quiero bajar los capítulos de Mi vida loca, pero vivo fuera de Gran Bretaña y no puedo. ¿Me podéis ayudar a bajarlos y enviármelos?
Gracias y saludos,

Adir:
@Javier de la Puerta Javier, creo que las empresas ponen limitaciones para bajar o ver los capítulos en algunos países, como YouTube. Lo siento.
Gary Carlos:
