Classrooms, uniforms, lunches, subjects and the length of the school day compared across countries - and simple questions to answer along with the video.
Comparison is the fastest route into speaking, because every student already has an answer. The video moves through the parts of school life that differ most between countries - what a classroom looks like, whether there is a uniform, what lunch is, which subjects are compulsory, how long the day runs - and pauses on each to ask.
The questions are pitched at A1-A2, so the answers stay within reach of beginners and young teens, and the format means the video paces the lesson instead of the teacher having to. Five and a half minutes, and it sits alongside the videos on schools in Britain and schools in the USA.
