These days I was thinking about my teen years, in the 90’s, when I had to ask my friends in the US to send video tapes of the newest Beverly Hills 90210 that hadn’t been aired in Brazil yet.

Now Internet is here to help us all out with our learning in so many ways and one of my favorites is Youtube.

I was looking for Penélope Cruz’s acceptance speech at the Oscars and found a series of interviews from a Spanish program called El Reservado.

El Reservado brings actors, directors, writers, musicians and personalities from Spanish life in general in very interesting interviews. Its host is Luis Alegre, a professor at the University of Zaragoza and also a writer, journalist and movie director.

Here are two videos from El Reservado, with actors Penélope Cruz and Eduardo Noriega, my favorite Spanish actors. The interviews last around half an hour and their speech speed is not too fast, so intermediate and advanced students of Spanish will benefit a lot from them.

Aprovéchenlas. Nos vemos prontito.
