Today we’re going to practice listening comprehension with a new set of videos.
Since it’s June 1st, we’re going to look at some videos about the festa junina, a traditional party that takes place in June, when children dress up in costumes and neighbors come together to eat, drink, and dance.
The first video discusses festa junina traditions in the Northeast, and the second two are a news special about festa junina customs.
Happy listening!
