Destinos: an engaging novella that teaches Spanish

When I first started learning Spanish, my Spanish instructor ended the class by showing us a video series called Destinos:  An Introduction to Spanish.  It is an intriguing story that is in 52 episodes.   Each episode integrates Spanish vocabulary and skills based on the story.  I found myself getting up in the morning before work just to watch the next episode.  The mystery and discoveries along the way motivated me to learn as the storyline crosses 3 countries and many families.  If interested, check out the first of 52 episodes online at http://learner.org/series/destinos/watch/ep1/
