If you\u2019re looking to converse with the locals, learning about the politics in Spain<\/strong> can be a great starting point.<\/p>\n

The most-watched broadcasts of all the Spanish TV programs are football matches! Spain has plenty of world-class football teams<\/a>. You\u2019ll never be short of football matches to watch. If you\u2019re watching a match between Spanish rival teams<\/strong>, such as Real Madrid vs. Barcelona<\/a>, odds are that everyone in the country is watching with you. Make sure you\u2019re wearing the right team colors if you\u2019re headed to a tapas bar in Madrid<\/a> or Barcelona<\/a> \u2013 you don\u2019t want to argue with football fans!

Educational & Entertaining Spanish TV Programs<\/h2>\n

Spanish TV<\/strong> has more to offer than sports and news programs, of course. Most regions of Spain also have a few of their own TV channels where they broadcast educational and informative programs about their area. If the Spanish province has its own language, such as Valencia, Catalunya, or Pais Vasco, it\u2019s likely there will be at least one channel completely in their local tongue. Watching regional Spanish channels is a great way to learn more about the area without ever leaving your couch!<\/p>\n

In the entertainment department, Spanish reality TV<\/strong> and soap operas are extremely popular. However, they have somewhat of a bad reputation; soap operas, reality shows and game shows are referred to as telebasura<\/em> or trash TV. Although they call it garbage, watching entertaining programs is great for improving your Spanish comprehension<\/a>. You can learn a lot of colloquial Spanish greetings<\/a> by watching people interact on reality shows! Telenovelas are a preference of many Spanish learners as well, as they\u2019re filled with off-the-wall drama and hilarious situations. Whichever one of the Spanish TV programs becomes your favorite, remember to watch with an attentive ear for extra Spanish training.<\/p>\n
