Videos to improve comprehension.

This site is great to work on listening comprehension as well as studying regional dialects, it's free! The videos are raw and unedited which means there are grammatical errors such as "cuando tengo" rather cuando tenga" there's even caption with translation which includes an array of topics, I studied these videos for a year and till today, there useful for situational conversation I literally memorized a lot of them, you can even download the videos to your itunes or ipod. This website was a major part in my comprehension development and dialect recognition. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Let me know what you think of the videos. Link is below.

These are great Serestar!!! The site is somewhat similar to LoMas TV, without the monthly charge.

I think it would probably be helpful to change your title to "Videos to improve comprehension" or something similar. This way more people would probably be interested in your post. If you would like me to change it for you, let me know.
