Yappr.com

Dear Students,

I have received an email from Wilber Chavez who works for yappr.com.
He says that yappr.com has short and entertaining English videos clips with many tools to make them easier to use as engaging content for English learning. Each video has subtitles in English, subtitles in Spanish, the ability to easily repeat each phrase, and even has a second recording with the audio pronounced slowly and clearly. These tools make content understandable to intermediate and even beginning students. Every day new videos are posted, including contemporary music videos, current events and fashion, cartoons, commercials and lots more.
It is a fantastic webpage and it’s worth visiting. yappr.com (http://www.yappr.com/)
