"I use SCOLA at all levels of instruction from beginners to advanced. While beginners are only required to recognize individual sounds or words, advanced students are required to answer more complex listening comprehension questions. We use it in class as well as homework assignments. (SCOLA) has tremendously reduced my work load. When I need a video or audio clip, I know where to go!"

"I started watching SCOLA transmission of the RTVE morning news from Spain because the predecessor of Charter Communications used to carry it regularly along with several other channels from Spanish-speaking countries. It was and is very important to me to be able to supplement the meager dose of news from my home country provided by commercial or even Public Television. My practice is to record the 8-9 AM news from Spain daily and save them in my computer for at least 3 months. Then I can watch my recording for the relevant days and learn what otherwise would not be accessible to me. Keep up the good work!"

"SCOLA offers authentic language resources in all the languages we teach. Instructors love the seven-day MP4 video download feature online. Having access to original German television and the Tagesschau newscast is a true window into the German culture of today. With the copyright cleared for teaching and storing SCOLA videos, our instructors can now employ authentic videos for their classes and be 100% legal. Thank you for this great service."

"SCOLA is an excellent resource for those who are trying to keep abreast of world events. Especially for folks whose livelihood depends on world awareness, such as people in the military. Even as more and more people around the world speak English, it is important to remember they do not share all the same beliefs or values. It is with this - similar language, different culture - that SCOLA is very helpful."

"SCOLA is an invaluable tool for students who are learning a foreign language. It provides both auditory and visual resources that are very hard to find anywhere else on the web. I feel that SCOLA has helped me develop language skills in a fun and unique way."
