| Try
television! Find
out if you get Univisión, Telemundo or Galavisión
television stations. The children's programming and the
commercials
are very helpful. You may recognize a lot of the commercials and
be able to figure out what the Spanish means based on the English
version.
These stations also run dubbed or subtitled American movies. I
have
watched many Clint Eastwood movies which have been subtitled in
Spanish.
HBO now offers HBO Latino, airing movies and HBO programs in Spanish. Top English-language and current movies like Gladiator, Titanic, El Matrix and Chicken Run are dubbed into Spanish. Even if you don't subscribe to HBO Latino, you often can receive a movie in Spanish by identifying which language you want in your cable or VCR set-up. My favorite television channel is Telemundo which airs bilingual programming. My favorite show is Los Beltrán at 8pm on Sundays! Many shows have a mixed cast of English and Spanish speakers of varying levels of English and Spanish, so you can generally follow the show even with limited Spanish. On the weekends (especially Sunday nights), Telemundo airs bilingual editions of many of its shows. They have subtitles in English or Spanish depending upon the language in which the show is presented. |
