I found telenovelas excellent resources for learning Spanish. Very many movies - including popular ones like Tambien La lluvia - do the standard thing where they convert the spoken dialogue to something shorter and easier to read. You can see this if you regularly use closed captions in English movies as well. For some reason, I found the telenovelas to be far more accurate in word-for-word transcription.
If you’re looking to improve your Spanish, I’d really recommend using established services rather than trying to find reliable third party sources. You’re just throwing another wrench into the works at that point.
Thank you for the advice. Telenevolas are great to learn indeed. I used to watch Totalmente Demais, a Brazilian show dubbed in Spanish and it was very easy to understand. In essence only 4 things happened : love, hate, jealousy and work shenanigan related to one of the previous.
But for now, I'm only looking for subtitles. I've got the videos but no sub and I don't know were to look for them.
