YouTube is an amazing platform for improving your Spanish. Whether you’re an absolute beginner, somewhere in the middle, or nearly fluent, there are a number of useful Youtube channels worth checking out.
And although they may not be as convenient as podcasts and apps , or provide as good of structure as courses , these YouTubers can definitely make studying Spanish more fun.
We organized this huge list into four categories, though there can be a bit of overlap for some of the channels. These categories are…
As Spanish becomes more widely spoken in the U.S., many parents are trying to raise their children to be bilingual from a young age. If you’re learning Spanish as a family and want to share some lessons with your kids, these videos are great for beginners of all ages. Many of them have cartoons and songs to help you learn new vocabulary.
Spanish Playground is a great resource for learning Spanish as a family. Many of the episodes are intended for kids and cover topics such as the names of colors in Spanish and brushing your teeth. But there are more advanced episodes too, including a scripted series called “Buena Gente,” which follows a couple living in Mexico that’s more suited to elementary and high school students.
Some of the music that appears in Spanish Playground is from the Rockalingua series. This channel uses songs to teach basic Spanish words and phrases. It will be too simple for adult learners, but it’s great for parents and Spanish teachers looking for a YouTube channel that’s entertaining and suitable for kids.
Semillitas TV is aimed at native speakers, so it may be too advanced for some kids, but is a good option for families who are learning by immersion. It features characters your kids already know, such as Bob the Builder and Dr. Seuss characters.
Leoncito Alado is another musical YouTube channel that takes familiar lullabies and reworks them in Spanish. Some are direct translations, such as “Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star,” and most of them have cartoons to go along with them. Watch this channel before bedtime and soon your kids will be singing their favorite songs in a new language.
This YouTube channel is great for intermediate students of all ages. While it’s intended for native Spanish speakers, both kids and adults will enjoy the fun cartoons that answer philosophical questions, including “Who invented the calendar?” and “What’s the world’s biggest number.” These 5-6 minute videos mostly feature Mexican Spanish.
These YouTube channels are intended for beginners, but may also be suitable for some intermediate learners. You can start here before you’ve ever opened a textbook, or you can use them to supplement podcasts or an online course . If the introductory episodes are too easy, skip along until you find one that’s at the right level for you.
Butterfly Spanish is a great starting point for learning basic phrases, as well as practicing Spanish numbers and the alphabet. Ana, the host, teaches most of her lessons in front of a whiteboard, so you can follow along with the words and visualize the phrases as she speaks them. Since she’s trained in linguistics, she knows Spanish grammar inside and out and will show you the differences between Latin American and European dialects.
Ana’s channel is especially useful if you plan to travel to a Spanish-speaking country. Many of her episodes focus on specific phrases you’ll need to know to go to the bank, order coffee, or have everyday conversations in Spanish. You’ll even learn how to talk about love and relationships in case you happen to meet someone special overseas.
Señor Jordan is a bit of a comedian, so if you want to learn Spanish from a fun and silly instructor, then this YouTube channel is for you. Some of his videos feature songs to help you memorize grammar, while others feature stories and dialogue. Either way, his videos are short, entertaining, and suitable for a variety of learning levels.
Señor Jordan isn’t a native speaker, though, so keep that in mind if you prefer to focus on lessons from a particular part of the Spanish-speaking world.
Culture Alley offers lessons in several different languages, including Spanish. Their videos are straight-to-the-point, so they don’t have as much flair as some of the other channels, and there’s no on-screen instructor. But if you prefer your lessons without distractions, then working through their videos in order is a good place to start.
This channel is another series by a non-native speaker that hopes to prevent you from making the same mistakes its host, Jordan, made. He claims to have gotten an “F” in his high school Spanish class and only fell in love with the language after studying abroad and traveling in Latin America. His lessons are practical and attempt to teach Spanish the way he would have liked it to be taught.
If you want a host who’s really enthusiastic about the language, then this channel may be for you. The fact that he’s a native English speaker means he knows how you think about language, and he can help you wrap your head around things that speakers of romance languages may take for granted – like how to tell a word’s gender. Jordan’s website also includes a “Travel Spanish Crash Course” and a podcast, so you can easily access more material if you like his teaching style.
Looking for old-school language learning videos? Then this channel by Video Ele may be for you. These straightforward video lessons are the kind you’d find in a high school Spanish class, covering levels A1, A2, B1, and B2. There are videos that take place at the market, at home, at the fair, and other places where you can learn new words. There are subtitles on the videos, along with transcripts and additional materials on the Video Ele website. The host, Augustin Ireula, speaks clearly and is easy to follow.
SpanishPod101 is a resource with thousands of audio and video lessons. Although you have to subscribe (starting at $8 per month) to get access to all of the content on the website, there are dozens of videos available for free on the YouTube channel. Topics range from “Creative Ways to Introduce Yourself in Spanish” to “What is Mexican Humor?” so learners of all levels can find something useful here.
Most of the videos are short, ranging from just a few minutes to around 30, but there’s also a 24/7 channel you can tune into any time you like for a range of topics covered by several different hosts. The videos typically have subtitles in both English and Spanish, and there are even some quizzes and interactive portions.
This is a great channel for beginners, but don’t get overwhelmed by all the videos! Start with a playlist that interests you, such as “Learn Basic Mexican Spanish.” You can also read our full review of SpanishPod101.
The Spanish Blog is hosted by native Spanish speaker Laura and it’s like having your own personal Skype instructor. The videos are very simple, and typically feature words on a screen or Laura talking straight into the camera.
