Each conversation highlights the shared experience of two native or near-native French speakers and provides both an oral history of that experience and a trove of cultural references.
Students will practice basic clothing vocabulary along with colors and prices. Students will also work on the dialogue "Dans un magasin de vêtements."
The students will discover the vocabulary by clicking on images. Each word has associated sound to facilitate the pronunciation of learners in French.

¡Listos! is a series of units for Heritage Spanish learners in grades 6-12. Three lessons aligned to the K12 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) form four thematic clusters. Relevant scenarios related to personal life, college tasks, career readiness and civic participation frame each lesson and increase student engagement by making learning authentic and relevant to real issues that students face. Each lesson identifies an intermediate or advanced proficiency target that supports language acquisition in the interpersonal, interpretive and presentational modes. The project also provides teachers with a replicable approach to lesson design for adapting or creating their own materials.
This is a video that you can show level 1 students to learn the numbers 0-20. Each number is introduced one at a time, in order and shown in a real world context to show students where they may find those numbers if they were in Spain.
Students can be given a handout with the numbers (as words in a random order) and students need to write in the numeric value next to the word as they hear it in the video.
After watching the video and reviewing the numbers, students can create basic math problems with responses that are no greater in value than 20. They can write them out in words, swap papers and answer one anothers.
Students can also verbally practice the numbers by quizzing their classmates on their math problems aloud.
As a follow up, students can work in small groups to create their own video with images of where they find the numbers 0-20 in their every day world, following the structure of the original video.

In Brazil, the term língua da gente (literally ‘language of the people’) refers to the way that people actually talk in everyday speech. And that, in essence, is the object behind this series. We hope to provide practical lessons that demonstrate how people really speak, and we do this by presenting brief, slice-of-life dialogs, which focus on some daily situation, scenario, or task that we encounter every day.
Each audio podcast, generally between 8-12 minutes, includes the presentation of a brief dialog, a line-by-line English translation, and more in-depth analysis of the pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and cultural content in the lesson. Discussion blogs also accompany each lesson, providing community interaction for comments and questions. In broad terms, the lessons are subdivided into three levels of difficulty: Beginning, Elementary, and Intermediate. Additionally we have a cultural show that covers current events and related social issues.
