Music, Movies & More

 

Music

Spanish songs are fantastic for tuning your ear to an accent and really drilling the vocabulary home without much effort. You don’t always have to sing along–you can let it play in the background while you do other things–but singing does help.

Tip:

Start with slower songs and get an idea for what the lyrics mean.

• Héroe
• Vivir Sin Aire (slower)
• Fíjate Bien (medium)
• Alegría

Movies

Movies are great for dialogue. Whether you watch an old favorite over and over or sit down with the latest release, by switching the language track to Spanish you can pick up tons of useful phrases.

• Dr.Strange
• Megamind
• Napoleon Dynamite
• Night at the Museum 3
• Spiderman 2
• StarWars VII
• Surf’s Up
• The Hunger Games
• The Incredibles

Vocabulary PowerPoints and Videos

Digital flashcards are quite useful. Five minutes of drilling between studying other subjects is a great brain-break stimulant. The lists here are color coded to reinforce grammar points. If you’re looking for the videos to listen to, click here.
