Watching Movie and TV shows is a prefect way to learn foreign languages through increased immersion. Netflix has many Spanish movies and TV shows with Spanish subtitle. Most of them are Netflix originals and you can watch them in most countries.

If you are still in the early stages, it is recommended that you watch the program with subtitles in your native language so you get used to the storyline. After that, you should re-watch it again, but now with Spanish subtitles. Finally, watch without any subtitles.

Most importantly, find something that resonates with you and stick with it. The best programs are the ones you can watch over and over again without getting bored!
