      Hi Marta,
      I’ll be doing some other lesson with films with no dialogue which can be used in any language soon.
      Have you tried this lessons which could be adapted for your spanish classes?

   Hi Kieran,
   I can´t find words to say how much I enjoyed your secret video, indeed.
   Thanks for sharing it with all of us.
   You know what, I´ve always wanted to do great lessons like this one but I don´t know how to, first thing because I don´t know how to make a video which maybe isn´t the most difficult part, but……….well I don´t want to make this very long but before leaving I want to say a few words in Spanish.

   Qué bonito video!!. Precioso realmente. Me encantó y seguro que a los alumnos también. Y la lección, perfecta.

    Hi Kieran,
    Thank you for the film. My curiosity to know the secret remained till the end. Then the sudden realization that it’s the ‘secret’ between ‘you’ and ‘me’. Certainly students will enjoy it and moreover it may pave the way for introspection revealing some secrets.
    With regards,
    satheesh

       Hi Satheesh,
       Thanks a lot for your kind comments. You’re right, the way the film builds students’ curiosity is really nice.
       All the best,
