-I really felt the question (in English) then the answer in Spanish was a very god format. - The idea of asking the video be compared to real life is really helpful for people who think that Spanish might not come in handy. -The pronunciation is a very good thing to have. It'd a plus -Nice lay out in general. -The color contrast is attracting. - Love the first paragraph. Just one mistake in the paragraph before the video. (Easy fix)
