The best YouTube channels for learning English in Spanish

One of the biggest channels teaching English to Spanish speakers (about 4 million subscribers, thousands of videos), still publishing several times a week in 2026: survival phrases, common questions, level tests from A1 to C1. Everything is explained in Spanish, so it is for Spanish speakers. Strong on useful phrases you can say tomorrow, weaker on systematic grammar; pair it with a structured course.

Francisco Ochoa, a Colombian teacher, has built a step-by-step English course in Spanish since 2008, with around 4 million subscribers; the numbered lessons on verb tenses, phrasal verbs and basic grammar are a free beginner curriculum many Spanish speakers have started with. New uploads are rare now, but the back catalogue is the point. Explained in Spanish throughout.

Nearly 3,000 videos and still posting most days in 2026, including free multi-class series such as a survival-English course for travellers. Explanations are in Spanish and clear about the differences that trip Spanish speakers up (adjectives vs adverbs, words with no direct equivalent). Large and unstructured, so pick a series and follow it rather than browsing.

An American teacher who explains in Spanish the pairs and false friends that keep tripping up Spanish speakers who already speak some English (actually is not actualmente, bring vs take). New videos several times a week in 2026. Best once you have the basics; it fixes errors rather than teaching from zero. The channel also promotes a paid course, which you do not need.

A Spain-based channel (about 1.4 million subscribers, 2,600+ videos, still weekly in 2026) whose particular strength is pronunciation and understanding fast natural English, explained in Spanish with exercises. Useful for the sounds Spanish lacks. It funnels towards a paid course; the free videos stand on their own.

A Mexican polyglot channel (about 4.3 million subscribers) whose English listening-practice videos are labelled by level, A1–A2 up to B1–B2, some built around films such as Harry Potter. The framing and explanations are in Spanish. It also covers French and Italian and uploads irregularly, so use the listening playlists rather than the newest videos.
