Museum of Knowledge team members are often asked; will watching films help students improve their Spanish? Language comprehension is tested to its fullest through the development of excellent reading and listening skills. In the case of watching films in Spanish, a language learner will have the opportunity to explore language dialogue and topical subject areas. A well-written script will enable a Spanish language learner to absorb phrases and syntax techniques that will ensure subtle mistakes will not be made in the long term.
The benefits of watching films to help students improve their Spanish include the fact that learning Spanish can be segmented. A comedy, romance or thriller will have specific paces, tones and vocabulary and Spanish language learners will be able to select films in Spanish according to genre with the expectation that their vocabulary will widen the more Spanish films they watch and the most genres they visit.
In addition, the richness of the Spanish language across the various Spanish-speaking parts of the world will further facilitate the development of listening skills. The majority of the Spanish-speaking world enjoy unique accents, whether this be Spanish speakers in Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga or in South and Central America, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina. The more Spanish films a student watches across boundaries the more their Spanish language skills as well as cultural understanding will reach enviable levels of perfection.
