6. [|Radio Lingua Network], an awesome site made for the learner but usable for the teacher as homework or accent demos. Great anywhere anytime learning. Made as a commercial site but the first ten lessons are free. **//Rating of 3//**

=Just for fun = If you have finished everything and there is one minute left then this youtube video is sure to entertain. Be advised though that there is a phrase "Cerveza es bueno" = beer is good (should be buena). You decide what your students can handle.
