One of the most effective ways we can learn and improve Spanish is by watching Movies, but the majority of us simply do not have the time. It’s very difficult to find the time to sit in one place and watch an entire Movie – Especially one that is almost 3 hours like the classic movie Scarface.

But you can always break it up and watch parts of movies (or anything else that seem like it’s too overwhelming) and understand some of the memorable scenes that sticks out to you.

When you do this, you’re not too overwhelmed and I think you end up learning a lot more.

This is why I am showing you a clip from the this movie I came across.

While watching, I noticed that it was around the length of a typical Gritty Spanish episode – Well episodes from Gritty Spanish Original and Parte II.

I am very aware that Scarface wasn’t originally in Spanish despite all the Latino swag in the flick but I am very familiar with the movie and that particular scene; the Spanish dubbing wasn’t too rough to understand, especially being that I am so familiar with it.

Spanish learning tip: When you’re very familiar with a movie and you’re able to find a dubbed version of that same movie in Spanish, it’s so much easier to understand.

Below, you can watch the original scene where Tony, the lead “Cuban” character visits his mom and his kid sister. You can also listen to a slower version of the same dialogue and at the very bottom of this post, you can also read the PDF transcript with contains the words spoken in the scene in Spanish and English side by side!

This transcript is formatted the exact same way as the ones included in our Gritty Spanish Audio Stories.

I love this particular clip because of the emotions displayed – you’ll hear an awful amount of those same emotions in Gritty Spanish.

It starts with a surprise, then goes to happiness, scolding + anger. You’ll pick up some vocabulary and hear many verbs used in various tenses – Not bad for a 6 1/2 clip, right?

Enjoy!
