B2 – East & West: Cultural Differences

This is a video-based conversational ESL lesson about cultural differences between East and West. We’ll watch three short videos by comedian Jimmy O. Yang about Asian culture and discuss them. There’s also a cool part where we’ll talk about a book of illustrations showing differences between Asia and the West. It’s a fun lesson which sparks a lot of lively discussion!
