Those are all great choices. Remember that music is only an aid in learning any language. The best way to learn any language is to practice and expose yourself as much as possible! Lots of luck practicing your Spanish!

El Orfanato, Sin Nombre, Fresa y Chocolate, and many other movies are good to practice your comprehension. You can always turn on the subtitles if you get lost.

El Orfanato with english subtitles can be found here for free: http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/movies/2007/the_orphanage.html

Other music to listen to (which is great to practice dance to as well to really immerse in the culture) include the following, which all include translations or lyrics. Listening to music that tells a story or teaches a dance can be especially helpful and memorable.

Another great way to learn, practice and gain understanding of any language and culture is to listen to comedy! If you find it funny, then it means you can understand it. This helps you gain a better idea of how to use the language when speaking.

Your free site for The Orphanage wouldn't play unless I registered and then wanted a credit card information. I stopped trying. Things are not free if you have to reveal personal information. - Jubilado, Nov 24, 2013

You just need to hit the X-out button and continue. I use project free tv for television shows and movies all the time! The best site is vidbull or vidbux. - PeroEsQueNoEntiendo062, Nov 24, 2013
