Understandable listening material

Just wanted to share this vid of a weather report on Mexican television. I find her speaking very easy to understand. It's not too fast, but also not unnaturally slow. Hope it will help improve your listening skills.

Edit: To those won't can't open the link, try this one. It's from the same series but it doesn't have the age restriction.

Your English is amazing! Just one note: very "easy" to understand is the way we would say it. :) - Nicole-B, Feb 11, 2012
Thanks for the feedback and compliment. I've got a lot of experience with speaking in English, but mostly with fellow non-natives so we ended up copying each other's bad habits. - S1r_Wakka, Feb 11, 2012

I would just caution that if this video is inappropriate, it is best to remove it according to the forum rules.

Nothing inappropriate... other than she is scantily clad. wink

Her outfit is quite normal for Dutch (summer) standards. It's the vulgar comments TO the vid that make it less suitable to the young ones. - S1r_Wakka, Feb 11, 2012
OH! I didn't even look at the comments. - Tosh, Feb 11, 2012

Thanks for sharing. I will check it out a little later. I have personally found that Mexicans speak in such a way that it is easier for me to understand than Spanish spoken in other countries. smile

Update:

I did just click on the link and saw this message:

This content may contain material flagged by YouTube's user community that may be inappropriate for some users.

For some reason, I have forgotten the password to my youtube account and I'm waiting for an email to change it. I would just caution that if this video is inappropriate, it is best to remove it according to the forum rules. I don't know if this is the case since I haven't been able to log into my account, but I just thought I would mention this. smile
