Improve Your Spanish with Telenovelas!

While it's great that you can go ahead and get started teaching your child Spanish, you do need to think about ways to invest in your own Spanish-language development. When I decided to teach my daughter Spanish, I researched and eventually purchased Visual Link Spanish. Try out Visual Link's free lessons. You could learn a good deal just from those.

I'm posting following article because the author makes a claim that has always intrigued me--using telenovelas to learn/improve Spanish. Over the years I've spoken to many people who said they learned English from watching the soap operas. They always suggest that I try watching telenovelas to learn Spanish.

What do you think? Do you know anyone who learned Spanish from watching telenovelas?

I think I might want to try watching them again. Do you have any to recommendations?

Anyway, check out the article for more ways to improve your Spanish.
