short videos, "Japan Video Topics" channel

In the newsletter from the Consulate General for Michigan & Ohio this link to the "Japan Video Topics" was given, https://www.youtube.com/c/JVTen/videos

The Youtube channel has a few dozen short videos (less than 5 minutes). Students can browse & teachers can playback in class with no audio (English narrator) for getting students to observe and think of questions. Later the full playback, including narrator in English, can be shown.

Since so much of language learning comes from context, both visual and verbal, this collection of short topics is an appealing way to get learners in the habit of paying attention to culturally important details, both verbal and non-verbal, too.
