Here are some of my favorite videos to use during my shopping unit. Of course, I love El Corte Inglés because it’s different and full of culture. I have my students do something simple each time they watch a clip so they don’t feel frustrated about not understanding every word. What video clips do you show during your shopping/clothes unit?

I love these videos too! Share the “simple” things you have your students do with them! I just wonder how to tie videos like these into the lesson sometimes and what students can do with them. Simple things like “what words did you hear/see?”…?
How many times do you hear….
What words do they use to describe…
What clothing items are mentioned?
How is what you see similar or different to an American commercial?
What’s the ad for? What’s the main idea?
What’s the slogan mean?
I try to have them use the TL for these… It gives us a chance to use/practice numbers, adjectives, and new cognates.
Great ideas! I also like the Mamá Lucha commercials for Aurrerá. They are also include cultural elements such as lucha libre. There is one for Mother’s Day, which would be timely.

Love these, can´t believe I didn’t think of searching for them myself! Thanks for sharing! I love the videos at EsMadrid’s (official Madrid tourism) YouTube channel:

They have some awesome clips of different places (pretty much any famous site you can think of) in Madrid that I used to create a virtual tour of Madrid for my students on our class Moodle page.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
