I haven't used this in my classroom YET, but I plan to. I give this site the
highest rating! It's wonderful to be able to share cultural characteristics
using short video clips in the classroom. I appreciate the variety of topics
and the attention to keeping clips brief but informative.
The clips have an authentic quality - incorporating language trends of the
different cultures. Various Spanish-speaking countries are represented in video
clips exposing students to various accents and gestures.
A very handy classroom tool; a good way to reach students who rely on visuals
for understanding and learning.

Technical Remarks:
Audio is scratchy. I don't know if that is the speaker system on my computer or
"technical difficulty". It comes through as though it was recorded at too high
a level.
