🎬 Netflix Streaming

• Netflix offers so many series and movies in Spanish!  Turn on your English subtitles and lose yourself in some great entertainment in the target language!!  Click here!

When you watch a series, you learn and practice the language in a more fun way compared to attending classes or using textbooks. You will especially practice your listening skills and pronunciation and learn new vocabulary, expressions, slang, and culture. Indeed, watching a series is a powerful learning experience!!!!!!!!

If you are a beginner, I would recommend turning the subtitles on, it will help you to understand better and work on your reading skills. However, once you get to a certain level of Spanish, don’t use subtitles. Push yourself and try to understand the plot and scenes through the context, images and the few words or sentences you can comprehend.

Keep in mind that some of the recommendations may contain content not appropriate for some audiences---VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED!  The link I have included to see the "current" list of most popular series/movies, is certainly subject to change as time goes on!
