1. Less realia, eliminating the need to bring many materials to class. The videos provide visual and auditory definitions of both concrete and abstract vocabulary.

2. Natural language (hearing, seeing, saying, writing, conversing).

3. Controlled grammar and vocabulary. Eases and expedites learning, proceeding from simple to sophisticated, and focusing on mastery.

4. Interesting and compelling video settings for learning. Students love to see new places and to "eavesdrop" on the characters in the serial segment.

5. Context-embedded ideas make abstract concepts visible and show vocabulary in different but related contexts.

6. Ready-to-use evaluations, follow-up exercises and pronunciation practice save time for the instructor. Pre- and post-tests are also available.

7. This is live-action video. There are no "talking heads," except in the pronunciation section.
