Learn Spanish While Binge Watching Shows on Netflix

Endless benefits result from watching TV and movies in Spanish, such as hearing the rhythm and sounds of the way Spanish is spoken, picking up slang words, and having an opportunity to enjoy real Spanish since the script is made for native-speakers, not language-learners. 

Most of the movies and TV shows on this list have Spanish audio with English subtitles, and this is beneficial to learning Spanish! They combine audio in a new language with written words in your native language and will train your ear to the sound of Spanish while increasing your comprehension.

I began studying Spanish at age 11 and have been interested in language and culture ever since! While at university, I studied abroad in Spain and Costa Rica and got a B.A. in Environmental Economics with a minor in Spanish. After spending over a decade in corporate America, I now enjoy the simpler things in life. ¡Pura Vida!
