8 Spanish Youtubers Who Make Language Learning Fun
Watching Spanish youtubers is a super popular learning method for Spanish students.
Why? Because it’s fun to watch videos while learning a new skill. Providing entertaining language learning resources has become a competitive playing field with endless options to choose from.
As a language expert, I always aim to make the learning experience enjoyable. This is key because if you don’t enjoy the experience, it’s unlikely that you’ll want to continue with it.
YouTube is an excellent tool for learning Spanish. These Spanish youtubers speak in a way that’s easier to understand than audiobooks, movies, or series, so they’re ideal to watch when you’re getting started on your Spanish learning journey.
Finding Spanish youtubers that you love will help you improve your Spanish while binge-watching great content. YouTube is a quick and easy way to supplement your Spanish studies—and best of all, it won’t feel like you’re studying!

Language: Spoken Spanish
Subscribers: 182K
Yo Soy Jechu is another young Spanish YouTuber who loves to help others in their Spanish-speaking journey.
She is from Chile and her videos are packed with fun games, trivia questions, and fun practice for students of all ages. Videos made by young people for kid audiences are excellent because the content is easy to understand and learn from.
Sometimes her introductions are a bit long so if you want to just jump into the topic you can fast forward a bit and get right to it. She covers current topics that are important to children such as emojis, life online, and gymnastics.
