If you’re over the ads on YouTube, the drama on Instagram and the haters on Twitter, maybe it’s time to add TikToks in Spanish to your social media language-learning toolkit. If you’re not familiar with TikTok, it’s a mobile video sharing platform and social network. The content is short, engaging and often funny, and makes for a perfect bite-sized (a minute or less) way to supplement your Spanish lessons.
We’ve compiled eight Spanish TikTok accounts for learners with varied interests, but this list is by no means exhaustive; there are tons of TikToks in Spanish to explore. And if you really want to challenge yourself, you can start making your own Spanish videos.
TikToks In Spanish To Help You Learn The Language
For Cooking Stans
Love mindlessly scrolling through cooking videos on TikTok? @dresvi covers a wide range of Latin American recipes while giving you the instructions in Spanish. So, you can keep scrolling through relaxing cooking videos but this time with a side of language learning!
For Meme Lovers
@spanishmeme compiles silly memes and writes Spanish captions on them. Try to figure out what the captions mean using the vocabulary you already know and context clues from the video. Hopefully, they’ll amuse you enough that you remember some of the words you pick up.
For The Babbel Devotees
We would be remiss if we didn’t mention Babbel’s own TikTok account for learning Spanish. The videos are made specifically for English speakers learning Spanish, so you can learn about grammar, vocabulary and some of the deeper intricacies of the Spanish language as it’s spoken all around the world.
For Teacher’s Pets
Get some help learning Spanish from @spanishteacher, who has two Master’s degrees in Spanish education. Her videos are informative and creative, teaching concepts like how to pronounce certain letters and providing tips to support your studies. Her videos are in Spanish, but she speaks slowly and uses pretty basic vocabulary.
For The Musically Inclined
If you’re the type of person who likes to sing along to Spotify playlists, you’ll want to follow this account. Music can be a great way to help you learn a language, and @spanish.xedits posts short clips of songs in Spanish with the lyrics written out on screen (plus some fun emojis, which may act as clues for words you don’t know), so you can easily belt your heart out.
For Fans Of Vlogs
Even though @_anagildersleeve doesn’t speak only Spanish in her videos, she makes sure to always add a lesson either about the Spanish language or Spanish culture. Ana is a Spaniard living in the United States and keeps her Spanish roots alive in her home and on social media. In traditional influencer fashion, she shares well-rounded, vlog-style videos. If you enjoy immersive travel vlogs, some relatable Spanish-American memes and family-oriented content, hop on over to her account and do some scrolling!
