ABOUT THE CONTEXT:
\n\u201cI believe that the videos helped me better understand the context of what we were learning.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cThe videos are more entertaining and feel like we are learning things in a broader context.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cMore information than just the textbook. Adds context.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cI like the additional context in Chinese conversation presented by the videos.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE REAL-LIFE SITUATION:
\n\u201cIt helps me see situations where people use the grammar.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cIt applies what we learned in a real-life setting where I can see what I learned being used outside the classroom.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cI like how the videos make it applicable to a real-life situation because sometimes the book dialogue may seem far-fetched, but seeing real people act something out makes it seem real!\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cIt makes Chinese feel more applicable by seeing Chinese people in China speak the language.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cI like that we can see how the words and grammar we learn can be used in real-world dialogue. The videos are also entertaining and fun to learn from.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cIn video class, I can learn about Chinese culture and see how people actually talk.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SPEED:
\n\u201cIt helps you understand faster Chinese.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cI like the fact of watching real Chinese people speaking at full speed.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cIt allows us to see how native Chinese speakers say the things we have learned.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cWith the <\/em>video<\/em>,<\/strong> we can hear what our text sounds like spoken by fluent Chinese speakers.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cIt is a nice change of pace and lets us visualize the lesson.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cI like listening to Chinese speakers at a normal pace, hearing dialogues without interruption.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cListening to the grammar\/sample sentences in real speaking speed was a good practice.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cThe videos are quite interesting, and it is good to see how Chinese should sound like at a fluent pace.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cThey speak faster which seems more realistic.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cI get to see how Chinese actually speak at their normal tone speed.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE CONTENT:
\n\u201cCompared with traditional drill class, the video class is funnier and more entertaining.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cI like the humor, acting and more variety of sentences.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cSeeing people other than the teachers speak is helpful for pronunciation. Also, the characters are hilarious.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>

\n\u201cIt is more entertaining.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cIt mixes things up. Makes you listen to a faster speech.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cSee real conversation and fun to watch.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cThere is some visual to go along with the context and another story that differs from that in the book. They are funny as well!\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cI think that videos are good to get more ways of saying the same things and they are really cute.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
\n\u201cThe videos are fun and have real dialogues.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
