First Impressions.
So far, I am loving this Freshmen Seminar. Telenovelas are truly an interesting topic, more interesting than I first assumed it would be. Learning about the different types of telenovelas has made me more intrigued by them. I remember watching a telenovela in my high school spanish class and had no idea that there were so many more out there to watch. I hope to find a very good telenovela to watch for the duration of this class. Learning the different types and categories of telenovelas has helped me to start thinking about the type that will interest me the most. I like to laugh, so choosing a Columbian telenovela might be my best bet. However, "Juana la Virgen" seemed very interesting as well, so I might just go with that one. I'll just have to see what else is out there and take advantage of my many choices.

ReplyDeleteI started watching clips of Juana, la Virgen on youtube. Some user has posted clips it looks like from every episode so you get the general idea of the story line. Even though it's only bits and pieces of the novela, and I can only understand some of the words, I'm already hooked!! I'm only on video 36 of 126, but I already care about Juana and Mauricio and can't wait to find out what happens! Here's the beginning of the sequence if you're interested in watching:

The only problem is I can't find anywhere to buy the telenovela. Have you had any luck with that?
