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 Animal:
Animal (2025) sigue la vida de Antón, un veterinario rural gallego que atraviesa dificultades económicas y acepta trabajar en una tienda de lujo para mascotas dirigida por su sobrina Uxía. El cambio de entorno transforma por completo su rutina: pasa de cuidar animales de granja a atender perros y gatos con tratamientos exclusivos, rodeado de un ambiente sofisticado y exigente.
El argumento refleja el choque entre dos realidades muy distintas. De un lado, la tradición y la vida rural gallega; del otro, la modernidad y el “glamour” del mundo urbano. Esa tensión da lugar a situaciones cómicas, pero también a reflexiones sobre las diferencias sociales y la adaptación a nuevos estilos de vida.
Una comedia con toques de humor negro y drama íntimo, creada por Víctor García León, ideal por su formato de capítulos cortos (25-30 minutos).
