YouTube or not YouTube???

Today, we listened to some songs such as Coldplay’sViva la Vida” and Amy McDonald’s This is the life” and we also watched two videos from YouTube: “Medieval Helpdesk” and “ Katherine tate language translator”. I have to say that my e-learning profitted from the lesson of today.It is very important to use the tools of the Internet, in order to improve and fortify our PLE. If we download some music or videos, we can derive benefits from that. I think that some immediate positive effects will be firstly, an improvement in understanding the foreign language we are learning, then a richer personal vocabulary and finally, a better pronunciation.
Moreover, YouTube could be useful to discover how others’ culture are, how we are seen abroad, and how people from other cultures consider us. Stereotypes and prejudices are the first barriers we have to bring down when we get in touch with other folks. This is the secret of a civilized cohabitation.
