Well, learning spanish by wacthing television and take notes of every dialogue can be helpful but it depends on your memory more than your learning strategie. I suggest having conversations because it is more effective and dynamic.

Lo mejor es intentar hablar con alguien que hable español, te costara sin duda pero esa es la forma que podras lograrlo.

You must be careful with that. I don't know what is your Spanish level, but I recommend you watching News, Documentaries, interview programmes, etc, because the shows and series may be very difficult for a beginner. In Spain we use the irony all the time, and most foreign people wouldn't be able to understand many phrases and words. As well as we use slang and colloquial structures a lot what it means you may not understand anything. I pass you a link of Spanish public television, http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/tve/la2/

of course... it can help you... i do the same thing, i watch elgish programs and that help with the listenging parts and also whit the pronunciation!

Hello! It will be useful if you have the subtitles in spanish. Maybe if you know a lot of words in spanish you can improve your listening, but first you have to learn those words! I'm a native speaker (spanish) from Costa Rica and I'm learning english I guess we can help each other! My skype Esteban C, or maybe you could find me through my e-mail: [email protected]
