- About Me:
- Laura García and Álvaro Mediavilla founded Bablingua after working for three years as Visiting International Faculty (VIF) teachers in North Carolina.
We decided to start Bablingua because it was very difficult for us to find good learning materials during our stay in USA. Most of the Spanish videos and readings that we tried to use in our classrooms where too hard for our students, or they lacked interest or realism.
We found ourselves saying over and over again things such as “How I’d like to show my students how we celebrate New Years’ Eve!” or “If only I had a video of La Rambla, so the students could see what a Spanish street looks like!” But it was impossible. All the videos that we ordered where always about the same topics, and we don’t think that they were a good resource to explain what our country looks like.
When we showed pictures to our students that we had taken in Spain, we were surprised by the things that called their attention: cars, hair styles, fashion… It was a shame that we didn’t have good videos to show all these details.
We decided then to start Bablingua once we were back to Spain. Our goal is to provide great videos that really show our country, and that can be interesting and understandable for a foreign student.

VOCABULARY ACTIVITY I
We've recorded a vocabulary game that we use very often in our classes. We're sure most of you are familiar with it already, but we wanted to start with something easy, short and fun. There are different names for this game: category-game, the letter game, stop or, in Spanish, alto, basta, etc.
We're also working on our website (www.bablingua.com). We're very excited about it, and we hope it'll be ready in the next days. It'll include many videos, activities and a forum to discuss all kind of id… Continue

- Hola Alvaro y Laura,
Muchas gracias, ya visité vuestro profil y es muy interesante de verdad, yo tambien tenia dificultades en adaptar videos y sonidos adecuados para mis estudiantes de Ingles y Español, ya que mis estudiantes son arabes, pero ya lo sabeis, enseñar idiomas necesita ser un actor, no de Hollywood, sino Hollyword...lol
Os deseo mucho exito.
