Hi students,

This is our class blog. During the semester, I will place video addresses for listening comprehension exercises here. These listening comprehension exercises will be answered in the blog. As you can see, I have included useful sites on the right hand column. I will add new sites as we need them.

I hope we have an enjoyable semester. Feel free to suggest sites to include in our blog.
