Best Spanish Language Spotify Playlists

Here are a five of the best Spotify lists to find music in Spanish (that doesn't sound like it should be played in a chain Tex-Mex restaurant).


  1. Viva Latino - Updated weekly - hot current music
  2. Exitos Mexico - Mexican hits - not everything on this list is Spanish language (it currently includes Missy Elliot and CeeLo Green) but it does show what is currently trending on Mexican Top 40 stations.
  3. Spain Top 50 - Chart toppers from Spain.
  4. Musica Folklorico - Ok, so these are older, but they're still worth listening to. They'll give you a chance to listen to Spanish in a different accent, and tend to have a slower tempo, so they make for great listening practice.
  5. Calle 13 - I just really like Calle 13. 
What's your preference when you listen to Hispanic music?

Free Online Places to Learn Spanish

Busuu LiveMocha (I use to like LiveMocha more. It's recently been bought out by Rosetta Stone) Ask a librarian! Seriously, most libraries have a ton o

What's the difference in Qué and Quién? How to use what and where in Spanish

Image
Quick definitions: Qué: a direct translation of 'what'. Qué is used when referring to objects. Quién: is   used to ask the question 'who'. This is used when referring to people. Plurals Qué does not change regardless of the number of items being referred to. Quién specifically is used when asking a question and the expected response is a single person. If the expected response is more than one person, then ' quiénes ' is used.   Accent marks - when to use them? The accents are used when a question is being asked. If who is used to add information about a person, then que or quien are used without the accent mark. My mother who is German, works as a nurse. Mi madre que es alemana, trabaja como enfermera. Wait, why did you use que for who? Generally speaking, when adding information about a person, que is used. If there is a comma between a named person and who, a comma can be used. However, que tends to be used most often.
