There is a large amount of Good Movies to Learn Spanish, and today we will practice Spanish creatively using two trailers from a great movie, World War Z.
We’ll look at the first trailer in English and then look at the translated version in Spanish in order to practice your listening and comprehension skills. Below the videos you will find a transcription of the trailers and the translation in Spanish.
It is important that you take the time to play, pause and rewind as much as needed in order to understand the entire version in Spanish without a problem. You may also play the trailer and scroll down to read the translated version in Spanish as needed.
