Learning Spanish with Telenovelas
There is no doubt about it that one of the easiest and most entertaining ways to learn a language is from watching television.
Telenovelas or Culebrones (long snakes) are like soap operas but instead of running on an ongoing basis, they are shown for a definite amount of time, say a year, so that they have a beginning, middle and an end to the storyline. Each episode is known as a “Capítulo”.
By listening to native speakers using everyday language spoken on the streets you will pick up not only a good accent but also useful expressions that you may not find in a dictionary or grammar book.
In this blog post we will give tips on how to learn from a Telenovela and also tell you about the most popular ones to watch. Continue reading

Why Learning Spanish is Hard and How to Make it Easier
Learning a new language can be frustrating, especially when you start from scratch; but if you are determined enough to do the hard work, it is totally worth it.

Acquiring new language skills means getting out of your comfort zone. If you are willing to do that, 20% of the work is already accomplished. Determination, perseverance, and openness are key elements in this equation. Now that we’ve cleared things up, let’s get down to business, Damas y Caballeros!
