Try life in another language

Learning a language is not all about being able to speak or write it fluently. Another big part is an in-depth knowledge of the culture of the target language country. Channel 4 have put together a great website, which gives you just this type of cultural information.

There are sections on:

sport

fashion

music and festivals

There is a German music video from the band 'Fotos' (see also their MySpace page).

Channel 4 also recently challenged three people to organise a band tour across France, Germany and Spain. Would you have coped trying to keep a band happy in a foreign country? Here is the first of the episodes in Germany.
