7 Instagram Accounts To Follow If You’re Learning Spanish

• This article highlights seven Spanish-focused Instagram accounts across interests like language learning, cooking, comics, feminist/media content, bilingual pop culture, rap/social justice, and general culture, so learners can pick what matches their tastes.

• These accounts provide approachable Spanish through short posts, video subtitles, simple comics, and mixed-language content, making it easy to absorb vocabulary and context while scrolling.

• Following them helps break out of an English-only feed and integrate Spanish practice into everyday life without formal study sessions.

It's easy to get into a language bubble on social media. There's a pretty good chance everyone you follow mostly — if not entirely — posts in English. If you're interested in learning a new language, you'll want to smash right out of that bubble. And following Spanish Instagram accounts that appeal to both your learning and your other interests is a great way to incorporate Spanish into your everyday life. Here are a few very different options to get you started.

The Best Instagram Accounts For Spanish Learners

For The Devoted Language Learner

Not to toot our own horn, but our first recommendation is for Learn Spanish with Babbel, our Instagram account that covers simple grammar and vocabulary topics through both posts and videos. It's a great way to get a little Spanish lesson while you're scrolling through your feed.

For The Food Motivated

If you're a home chef, maybe you're already using Instagram to find your recipes. If not, it's a great way to explore various cuisines and get tips (particularly if you're someone who struggles getting results from cookbooks). You can combine your love of cooking with Spanish learning with @diegodoal. His content is great for learners because he subtitles most of his videos (in Spanish), plus he includes the ingredients for each recipe in the description of each Reel.

For The Comic Reader

There are lots of webcomic artists on Instagram, and they work in any number of languages. The account @72kilos is especially good because each comic usually only has one or two short phrases, and the comics themselves are very cute.

For The Feminist Reader

If you're already a reader of online publications like Bustle and The Cut, you can add some Spanish media to that list with @freeda_es. There's a mixture of generally self-empowering or funny memes, along with more serious work (they once created a half-hour documentary about being a woman in Kabul).

For The BuzzFeed Bilingual

BuzzFeed launched their English-Spanish Instagram @perolike back in 2016 along with a YouTube page and other verticals. It's designed specifically for English-speaking members of the Latinx community. It's got a mixture of languages, and a wide range of content (it's on BuzzFeed, so the demographics skew younger). The name itself is inspired by the Spanglish term pero like.

For The Rap and Social Justice Fan

René Pérez Joglar, who goes by @residente on Instagram, is a famous rapper in Latin America. In addition to posting about his music, Joglar also talks about social problems that are happening. He posts in both Spanish and English, which can help you out while you're learning the language.

For The Person Who Likes A Little Bit Of Everything

This is kind of a broad category, but @culturacolectiva is pretty hard to pin down. They post about art, LGBTQ life, popular television shows, wildlife and more. They have over 2 million followers, though, so you can be sure what they're posting is viral at the least.
