Spanish content creators to follow on Instagram

Use Spanish Instagram videos to practice understanding Spanish and learn new vocabulary
Watching video content on social media is a great way to practice listening to native Spanish speakers in a low-effort, entertaining way. It’s also a great way to pick up natural conversational expressions.
Make sure you listen to videos made for native speakers*, not lesson videos for Spanish learners (teaching videos are useful in a different way, but they won’t get you comfortable understanding native speakers when they’re talking naturally).
If you watch and interact with enough Spanish language content, the algorithm will naturally start showing you more and more of it. This happened to me. Now I don’t even need to go looking for interesting Spanish content, the algorithm just brings me what I like.
Here are some of the Spanish content creators I like
Mexico*
Spain*
I'll add more as I find them.
Use Spoken to listen to clips of native Spanish speakers and write what you hear
If you're not yet able to understand everything native Spanish speakers say, the app Spoken has activities that can train your ear to how native speakers talk. It'll help you get used to how words sound at 'native' speed.
Download Spoken and choose a listening task.

I send a “Spanish video of the week” to my mailing list. I take a funny or interesting video and make it a learning opportunity by adding some help with new vocabulary.
