Film Lab
The Spanish you hear, not just the Spanish you read. Original-version cinema to train your ear, your vocabulary and your culture.
Cinema is the most pleasurable way to get a language into your ear. In the Lab we work with scenes from Spanish-language film: you hear how people really speak, with their rhythm, accent and humour.
The real thing

Written, filmed and edited by Clinic students. Opens on YouTube.
Train your ear
Watching cinema in the original gets you used to real Spanish: fast, idiomatic, with different accents. It’s the best gym for listening comprehension.
Scenes with vocabulary
Each scene comes with its vocabulary and cultural notes. You understand not just what they say, but why they say it that way.
Culture in images
Spanish cinema tells you the country: its history, its humour, its conflicts. You learn the language and you learn its speakers.
