Spanish Proficiency Exercises is a compilation of brief video clips of native speakers of Spanish from various locations throughout Latin America and Spain. The exercises provide students of Spanish with the necessary tools to be able to talk about the same topics in Spanish. There is a simplified video clip which is scripted. The other clips are not scripted. What the native speakers say is what they really said. Some may talk fast, others talk slow, etc.
