What does that mean? Talks with the class about the sticker and the video.
Why is this specific pocast suitable?
I think it is a comprehensible topic, the vocabulary is not too hard. The article has not too many difficult words in it, the speaker of this segment is not very fast is and he is articulate. The topic is interresting. Looking at the people their gestures and the things shown in the video you can already understand a lot.
