The Latin soaps they show on our Spanish language stations are great fun. The clothes and scenes are steamy, and the characters yell at each other a lot. Hard to say much about the plot lines when I don't speak Spanish. They do seem to be the good crack though. (that's what my friends tell me)
Back in Az, one of my coworkers would put some Spanish soap on at the group home. I have a distinct memory of watching a scene where a teenage girl came down the stairs, had an argument with her mother, and stomped off angrily. I said, "Let me guess, she wants to date some boy her mother doesn't like." Coworker laughed and said, "Oh yes."
That's why they are so awesome! You don't have to speak the language to know who the sluts are and you get most every scene just by expression, music, and hand movements.
By the way, watching last week's
Psych
last night in the middle of this discussion was a hoot. Do check it out if you get a chance.

Plus, if you watch often enough and long enough, eventually you will pick up the language. At least that's what I've been told by another Hispanic coworker whose anglo hubby learned Spanish that way.
