How to watch movies and shows en español

We’re always insisting that students watch TV in Spanish as often as they can, as it’s a great way to improve your pronunciation and listening skills and widen your vocabulary. But, sometimes, people have a hard time finding shows in Spanish on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon, as their filters are not very instinctive. Here’s how to do it:

Netflix

Netflix doesn’t let you filter by language, but it has some “hidden” categories that include all the movies and TV shows in Spanish that they have. You just have to type “Spanish” in the search field, and their algorithm will automatically suggest the following categories:

Spanish-Language Movies
Spanish-Language TV Shows

Here’s a screenshot:

Hulu

Hulu does have a language filter (sort of). It’s a category called Latino (whatever that means). They have dozens of movies, series, and random shows you can binge watch, including some interesting reality television.

Here’s a screenshot:

Amazon Prime

Amazon doesn’t really offer any “latino” or “Spanish language” filter, but you can see all their stuff in Spanish by typing “español” in the Prime Video search box.
