2 Things You Can Watch Today to Improve Your English and Spanish

In this post I upload the link to match between Sevilla and Barcelona in Spanishhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONxGtrgDXY0 - it is the official La Liga channel. If you are English speaker, the easiest language to learn next is Spanish. Watch football thriller using Spanish subtitles to follow commentary. It’ll give you more than you can imagine. Watch and have fun. To be familiar with other language you need to listen a lot. Even if you don't understand 90% of the coverage, you need to be familiar with the new environment. Try to watch the match with the Spanish subtitles. It is thrilling game of football, one of the best in last 10 years in Spanish Primera Division. You will have the fun anyway. Spanish sounds much different than English, however it is easy to learn. People speak fast however, on the other hand if you watch one of the A1 and A2 grammar tutorials and courses on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/user/spanishpod101from start to finish, you will be able to follow coverage of any football match easily. If you have the option to watch next match of football in Spanish, do it! 


Secondly, I’m sharing Democratic National Convention in English and in Spanish respectively

Convención Nacional Demócrata: Día 1

Watch them with subtitles. Try to follow the coverage.

Again, we have the political event, political campaign, valuable piece of information and show I would say. Do listen to Michelle Obama and her speech in English and then in Spanish. Try to repeat part of her speech in Spanish - that's learning process it'll help you to make progress. I'm aware some of you may strongly dislike politics, or news these days, however all news platforms and media provide great opportunity for learners. Policymakers speak a lot. If you don't like that however, don't do it, follow something else, you're interested in.  

We all follow news anyway and politics, try to do it in other language from time to time- you will gain knowledge, not only news you're looking for anyway.

You need to build vocabulary. Politics, economics, finance and political campaign give great opportunity to make it happen. Small talk is not enough nowadays, we need to be able to discuss on wide variety of topics. Just to remind you, language is conversation, discussion, not only small talk.

Following news could be much easier, if you have your favourite anchor, journalist, programme - I always watch programmes because anchors are passionate of what they're doing

Conclusion

By watching and listening you're keeping in touch with foreign language and learn.
