It also introduces the cultures, accents, and dialects of Mexico, Spain, Argentina, and Puerto Rico.
  • Spanish Grammar in Context (University of Texas Spanish in Texas Project). Detailed grammar explanations of the Spanish language. Unlike traditional reference grammars, each topic is explained using authentic video examples. Practice quizzes are available on an open Canvas course site.

A compilation of brief video clips (with site index) in which native speakers of Spanish from various locations throughout Latin America and Spain demonstrate language tasks.  The exercises give students the tools to be able to talk about the same topics in Spanish.
