Hey All,

I hope all is well... growing up I would watch soaps (spanish and english) with my mother. Now as an adult I'm a soap fanatic. Unfortunetly my work schdule conflicts with my soap time, so I Tivo all of them.
I recently started an internship at UMVD and I came across Amor Real, a spanish soap recently released on DVD.
I was surprised to find a soap on DVD, but what the hell, I took it home and I watched it. Let me tell you... it was great!
The drama, twisit and turns keep me on the edge of my couch the entire time.
I know some of you may be thinking, "spanish soap, never watched one and I can't understand it." Well now you can...it comes with english subtitles, an d why not try something a little different.
when you finsh watching Amor Real reply back and let me know what you thought, I would love to know.

Hi!

I started watching a spanish soap this afternoon with my mom. And I actually enjoyed it! I used to never like soaps and I don't speak a word of spanish!! But now I'm hooked on the spanish network!! It's fun to try and guess what the story is!!

they can be really crazy with all the plots and everything. as a matter of fact, when i was real young i watched our family friend who was from Mexico watch a spanish soap on tv and it was so good. I got all into it. From there it led me to watch All My Children. This was way back in the days though. Back to Greg and Jennie.

Hi and welcome!

I do know of Spanish soaps, via my high school Spanish teacher, or as she would call them novellas. She would have the class watch at least once a week as part of our learning Spanish and talk about it. They are very intense.
Thanks for the post about the soap being in subtitles I may check it out.
