Learning spanish while having fun
Writer: Costanza Fabietti
Want to know something interesting? After watching a movie or series on repeat for a few days, we start to know some of the words and can repeat them. Entertainment is truly a universal language because it connects people. And sometimes, learning Spanish in a traditional way can be boring, so it’s not a bad idea to use songs, movies, and series to learn the language in a fun way.
Here are our top activities to learn Spanish while having fun:

- Watching Movies and TV Series in Spanish
Cinema is an excellent way to improve your listening comprehension and learn new expressions in context. Almodóvar is a famous Spanish director whose movies won several prizes. Series allow you to listen to the language continuously and get used to different accents and rhythms. Here are some popular options:
