Watching films online always leaves you with a slight feeling of “What is it I’m doing with my life again?” But, you’ll be pleased to hear I may have discovered a way to banish that thought. Cuevana.com.
Cuevana.com is a Spanish online film site, which offers an extensive list of popular (and not so popular) films with Spanish subtitles. This means that it’s not only just okay that you’re still in your pyjamas at three in the afternoon watching some drivel you would never normally watch, but it actually counts as learning- WAHOO! It might sound dubious, but I really think watching English-language films with Spanish subtitles is a great way to learn, because you’re able to match up common colloquial English sayings with the Spanish equivalent. An example: English: “whatever”, Spanish: “como quieras”. I’m by no means saying that watching a film with English/American voices is better than spending a couple of hours with a group of Spanish-speaking chums, but equally it does have its uses. I always find it quite comforting as well, because it does make you realise that the Spanish language is actually relatively simple compared with English; there aren’t half as many words and ways of saying things.
So I think I’ve said my bit. To all those of you currently hiding under a blanket on the sofa watching Brad Pitt/Hugh Grant/Anne Hathaway do their thing, switch over to Cuevana.com and hold you head up high!
