Summery and delicious video task for all levels.

This task is based on the short film filmed by Alberto Rodríguez for the beer brand Estrella Damm this year.
The brand is famous for their Summer commercials.
They're full of food, beautiful places and a lot of fun, they're a pleasure to watch!

Intermediate and advanced students

If you have an advanced level or an intermediate level all of the exercises are suitable for you.
I recommend you select Spanish subtitles on the options if you're not an advanced student.
The questions suited for beginners are also suited for you, just answer as accurately as possible and try to use complex vocab to keep the challenge up.

Beginners

Most questions have the tag #beginner, actually many in the first section and all in the second section.
This means free pass if you're starting.
I recommend selecting the Spanish subtitles to help you out and pausing to read them when you need to.

The link for the video is the following:
__

CLICK here - "Las pequeñas cosas", de Estrella Damm

If that link doesn't work in your country try with any other, like this one with subtitles in Portuguese, as long as they speak in Spanish it'll work :)

• Read the questions.
• Watch the video once and start gathering information, you may take notes for example.
• Watch it at least once more, and as many times as necessary to complete or extend your answers.
