Watching films can help you gain competence in a language, improve your vocabulary and learn new expressions. So, in this episode of your Spanish Journey, I'll talk about the benefits of learning with films and Sebastián (our guest today) will recommend some Spanish films you can't miss! Are you ready?

Your Spanish Journey

Watching films to learn Spanish

There are only six vowels in stressed position: [а], [о], [у], [э], [и], [ы]. 

The Russian hard consonants correspond to the English consonants.
However, the Russian consonant /п / resembles the English /р / but it is never aspirated. The consonant [t ] is also never aspirated.

Don’t forget that in the articulation of the Russian /т /, /д /, /н / the tip of the tongue is pressed against the teeth ridge but against the back of the upper incisors!
