Answer 5

No me veo nunca las telenovelas en inglés, pero....desde hace 2 meses más o menos he estado viendo una telenovela en español que se llama 'Amar en Tiempos Revueltos', y ahora soy una adicta total. Me hace reir, llorar, me encanta la gente, y me pone feliz porque me ayuda a entender más de español hablada.

I never watch soap operas in English but... for the roughly the last 2 months I've been watching a Spanish soap opera called 'Love in difficult times', and now I'm a complete addict! It makes me laugh, cry, I love the people, and it makes me happy because it helps me to understand spoken Spanish better.

Shameless advertising for 'Amar'! They also have a group on Facebook so I read those comments too!

Edited for 'soy una adicta' - Ser because I think it's permanent.

Creo que en España hay mucha gente que también la ve. - melipiru, Jun 12, 2010
