Recommended Netflix Watches for Spanish Teachers are a fun way to combine relaxation and language learning. These shows offer rich culture, engaging stories, and great listening practice no classroom required! Last week I was sharing about some of my summer goals for my Spanish. I have really been enjoying listening to more Spanish music (thanks, Música Miércoles!), but I would like to start watching some shows or movies in Spanish for more practice.

I posted on Instagram and asked for your recommendations and got a bunch! Several of you reached out and let me know you’d love to see the list of recommendations, so here we go!

Other Recommended Netflix Watches for Spanish Teachers
A few people reached out with ideas that weren’t shows or movies to watch, but they had some great ideas and I wanted to share those too.It just goes to show that Spanish practice doesn’t have to stop at Netflix. There are so many creative ways to stay connected with the language beyond the screen! Whether it’s tuning into a podcast while you cook dinner, watching TED Talks en español, or stepping out to a local event, these Recommended Netflix Watches for Spanish Teachers are fun, flexible, and super effective. I love how these suggestions make language learning feel like a natural part of your everyday life!
- Ted Talks in Spanish – look them up on YouTube. The nice part is that you can mess with the speed on YouTube, so this might be helpful for students too!
- Podcasts in Spanish – Duolingo has a few, but there are more out there!
- Community events – find a church service, or maybe an area university has some events you can check out!

I love how we can share recommendations and build this list together, it seriously makes choosing what to watch next so much more fun! Everyone has that one show they’re obsessed with, so if there’s a hidden gem I’ve missed, don’t hold back. Your favorites might just become someone else’s new binge-worthy go-to. Let’s keep the ideas (and the Spanish) flowing. Are any of these shows you have seen? I admit a few are ones that I have started, but haven’t finished, and a few are ones I have yet to give a real chance to! Anything that you would add to the list?
