Telenovelas: What I'm Currently Thinking

I've been thinking a lot about what I should write in this first blog. I would like to start off by stating that I was a little nervous about taking this course because I do not know how to speak nor understand Spanish fluently nor do I watch Soap Operas.On occasion I use to watch Days of Our Lives with my mom when I was little up until the show got canceled and since then I have not really watched any sort of Soap Opera. After the first class session I became a little more excited and satisfied with my decision with taking this course because I'm learning about different cultures and I'm pretty sure once this course is over I will continue to watch whichever Telenovela I choose to write about and many others. I must admit that I have not started watching a Telenovela yet because I honestly do not know how to search for something to watch, but one thing I do know is that I would rather buy a DVD from Amazon instead of trying to find one to watch on television or the internet. From the class discussions I'm really interested in a Rosa-styled  Telenovelas because they seem like they will consist of acts that are so overly dramatic that I won't see them as logical, which I find very entertaining. So does anyone have any suggestions about what I should watch? I hope to pick a Telenovela by this weekend and start watching so I can be fully on track with the rest of the course.

  1. Have you checked "Corazón Salvaje?" it has subtitles. Make sure you get the version starring Eduardo Palomo and Edith González. It's a classic novela rosa.
