Eigobar is designed to help you listen to and understand a foreign language, The video clips are on average 30 seconds long. The difficulty level is based on the amount of text, the accent of the speakers, the words used, the amount of slang, the speed of their talking.
The video clips use everyday english used in english speaking countries around the world. The video clips are chosen because they are easy to remember.
