Make the most of your downtime by adding a bit of Spanish reading practice into your TV-watching hours. By switching on Spanish subtitles, you can match the Spanish words with the spoken English. So whether you’re studying hard (pausing the TV to ensure you really grasp each sentence) or just letting the words wash over you, you’ll be boosting your knowledge by picking up the style of Spanish that’s used in everyday life. Bonus points if the spoken and written words are both in Spanish.

In practice: Here are five Spanish TV shows to get you started, and here are 10 more winning shows from Spain. Alternatively, if you have a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and a Netflix account, set your VPN to Mexico (or any other Spanish-speaking country) and bingo—Spanish subtitles will appear.

If this is the first you’re hearing of VPN services, let me give you a quick crash course. A VPN gives you online privacy and security, hiding your IP address and supplying you with a new one. It’s also a valuable tool for language learners who’d like to access online resources that have country restrictions. This isn’t always free, but with a safe and reliable VPN service like HideMyAss! VPN, you can really make the most of the internet and have peace of mind while browsing.

Spanish immersion is thought to be one of the most effective ways of enhancing your learning. But what if you can’t drop it all and move to Spain? Well, you just have to think of other ways of immersing yourself in the Spanish language. And if you’re like most people, the amount of time you spend online means that changing your computer settings to Spanish is a pretty good start. Change the language across all your devices to ensure no cheating. Do it for a week and see the difference.

In practice: Chrome’s Language Immersion add-on takes you one step further. It converts snippets of every website you visit into Spanish, forcing you to translate the words. There is assistance with online pronunciation and translation if needed.

Extra tip for learning Spanish: You can immerse yourself with social media too, using Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Pinterest—just click on the links to get our related tips.

Instead of just cooking a native Spanish or Latin America dish, why not cook an entire meal from peruvian recipes, with all of the ingredients and instructions written in Spanish? You might want the pizza delivery on speed-dial just in case there are a few false cognates in your dish, but it will be fun giving this different kind of latinoamerican cooking a try.

In practice: If you’re not sure where to start, CocinaPeru.com has some tasty looking choices, and there are plenty of pictures so you’ll know just what to aim for with your final dish.

In practice: Multilingual Books has dozens of free newspapers and magazines online, from Mexico’s El Economista, El Mundo (from Madrid), Elle and Mac World magazines. To keep up momentum, commit to reading one article, column or snippet a day.
