Las telenovelas son muy dramáticas. Telenovelas are a great way to learn Spanish, but might be best for older learners or something to watch with your family. (Things get pretty dramatic, with betrayals, romance, evil twins, mistaken identities, dead people coming back to life, and so on and so forth.)- Did you know the U.S. show Ugly Betty is an adaptation of a Spanish language show? Read more and about how to watch the Spanish version(s) here.
