Ottakee Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I have been doing Duo Lingo for about 8 weeks now and completed Lesson 75 in Getting Started with Spanish today. I am just beginning to catch on a bit. I would love some simple videos in Spanish for a very beginning language learner. Something slow and gentle. Right now I don't care if it is a kids show or for adults. I am getting better at reading Spanish but my conversational listening skills are lagging.

nutella08 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I'm sure there's plenty of YouTube options but Salsa & Destinos are "curriculum" that start from the very beginning level completely in Spanish Salsa is great for the preschool audience with puppets http://www.gpb.org/salsa/term/episode Destinos is a relatively engaging telenovela for adults https://www.learner.org/series/destinos/watch/ HBO and Disney also broadcasts all their shows with a Spanish audio programming if you are able to switch it on your TV (cable/dish). When my kids were younger, I actually learned quite a bit by watching Dora la Exploradora with them in Spanish. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loesje22000 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 On youtube are 'learn spanish with subtitles' animations, and those have spanish subtitles in karaoke style so you can see what you hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottakee Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Destinos is a relatively engaging telenovela for adults https://www.learner.org/series/destinos/watch/ I have just started this series. It is very 80s and cheesy but it is engaging. I turned the closed captioning on and that is great for me to be able to see the written words as they speak. I am surprised I can follow quite a bit of it just using the Spanish I have learned with Duolingo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
