So I found myself over Thanksgiving relaxing and drawing on my Ipad, only to realize that I could make sub-par drawings and narrate them in Spanish, after some tweaking on the computer. And Voila! I have my very own Comprehensible Input videos that will slowly get more complicated each video to help learners acquire the language versus working on the grammar out-rightly.
The best part, they'll be short and each will cover a structure as we tell a story. I'll then recycle that structure in future videos.
Each story will be about 10 episodes long and then we'll move on to a different story. The structures will get increasingly more difficult as we go and eventually I would imagine some pretty intense storylines.
Here's the first video & second video starting from scratch! I think I'll do a version in English as well.
Let me know what you think! I'm excited and I think it turned out kind of neat!
