You have been studying Spanish for some time and are comfortable carrying on conversations on a large variety of topics. You are always looking for additional, fun ways to practice and as you love watching Netflix series in Spanish, come and join us once a week to discuss a specific series!

Learning Spanish with Spanish-language TV series is a great way to retain vocabulary and grammar, get used to various accents and forms of speech, as well as learn about the cultures and lifestyles of various Spanish-speaking countries.
Watching a series and discussing it weekly helps you learn and retain authentic Spanish without having to physically travel and spend considerable amounts of time in various parts of the Spanish speaking world!

Each week, you will be assigned an episode to watch at home and asked to prepare to discuss it in class. The series we have chosen will be available on Netflix which has the advantage of having Spanish-language subtitles (among others) to assist you when in doubt. We will recommend techniques to help you improve your Spanish, grow your vocabulary, and perfect your accent as you prepare your “homework”.

This session’s series will be El tiempo que te doy:

El tiempo que te doy es una miniserie de Netflix sobre Lina, quien intenta olvidar a su primer amor, Nico, tras una ruptura de nueve años. Para lograrlo, se propone pensar un minuto menos en él cada día, mientras se muda, busca un nuevo trabajo y experimenta cosas nuevas, mezclando su presente con recuerdos de la relación. La serie narra el proceso de duelo a través de capítulos cortos, en los que la proporción de tiempo dedicada a los recuerdos disminuye gradualmente en cada episodio.

El tiempo que te doy es una historia fácil. Fácil de ver por sus 10 capítulos de 11 minutos, un novedoso formato por el que Netflix apuesta ahora que nuestra atención audiovisual parece más laxa. Fácil de entrar porque aborda el amor y el desamor proyectado en lugares comunes, a veces escalofriantes, que todos hemos transitado de una manera u otra. Lo complicado es articular una historia en la que el tiempo también es protagonista, junto a Nadia de Santiago y Álvaro Cervantes, y capear la dificultad de manera resuelta y con aplauso de crítica y público, no siempre en consonancia.
