Popular Culture in Spanish

Actualidades:  Learn Spanish through Pop Culture

This site is taken from Betsy's blog because I thought that it pertains to culture with a modern spin.  It incorporates current music, TV, art, and film into lessons designed for teaching Spanish.  Popular culture is as much about cultural competence as any other type of cultural aspect of a country because it also influences the way people see the world. I especially like the music and art sections of this site because there are cloze passages set to popular music in Spanish so that students can actively listen to fill in the blank, and there are many different Latin American artists represented so that students can get a taste of the variety of art that exists in the Spanish speaking world.  I think this site is a real find.
