Tutorials, vlogs, music videos, movie trailers, people playing video games. Name literally anything, and there’s probably a related video on YouTube. About 500 hours of content are uploaded to YouTube every minute, and one billion hours are viewed each day! Why not use some of this free video content to help you learn a language? Watching videos created by Spanish-speaking YouTubers is a great way to reinforce the Spanish you’re learning and add a fun twist to your studies.
We’ve compiled a list of nine Spanish-speaking YouTubers whose videos all differ in style and content. Some alternate between English and Spanish, and others speak entirely in Spanish at varying degrees of difficulty. There should be at least one creator on this list whose material fits your current skillset and language-learning goals. Much like binging TV shows in other languages, watching YouTube videos in Spanish can take your skills to the next level.
