What shows or movies to watch to learn Spanish?

[Anonymous]

Boyfriend isn't Hispanic and wants to learn. I'm Hispanic but not sure what to recommend that a guy who likes slapstick comedy or action movies would like to see in spanish?

So far have pan's labyrinth and like water for chocolate. Any other good ones with subs?

Can't you get most movies dubbed in Spanish pretty easily? I think the streaming services usually offer this. Check out your settings.

If you could find Sesame Street - simple vocab and repeating the new words many times.

He’s not going to learn Spanish this way. The dueling Spanish podcast has some good episodes (the season on the Argentine bank heist is great) and will help him more.

But if you really want movies and shows…
casa de papel
Neighbors
The great seduction

I watched an entire series in SPanish (Heist) and learned zero spanish. You need to study the language.

What's his mother tongue? What other languages has he learned?
Start with cartoons subbed into Spanish. Slow them down if needed and add cc.

If he really wants to learn then I would look for Destinos online— it’s a telenovela-like show designed to be used to teach spanish (has a textbook and a workbook that goes with that you may be able to find in the library or from a used book site).

Destinos is what we all used for Spanish class in the States in the 90’s.

Exactly. There’s some family drama but it’s not Elite or anything.

Look on Youtube. Also there are entire tv channels that only air shows in Spanish.

To the doubters: I learned English from watching soap operas.

I'm sure you did. Spanish is probably the easiest language for an English speaker to learn, plus you probably have some innate talent for it.

I was just about to recommend this. I watched these for my college class and they were just right. They weren’t talking too fast or using a lot of slang.

Basically everything on Disney and Netflix is available dubbed in Spanish. I recommend peppa pig. The pace makes it easier to follow in Spanish.
