I would like the ability to set the default language to other languages and then get a dedicated url for using Culture Grams in this language. We would use this for our Seal of Biliterarcy and foreign language students.

Introductory Country Videos
Many of my students are new English Language Readers & Listeners. I am not certain that my students understand the Kids' edition. It would be nice to have a short (<5 minute) video introducing the country as well as some pertinent & popular information. This could be done for the country as a whole as well as by individual sections.
Thank you.

Include more interviews of students of students from the United States.
Hi CultureGrams,
My students were studying the interviews of students from around the world. They were creating a poll to compare interviewees favorite sports and subjects in school and their own classroom polls. They were so disappointed when there was not one interview of a student from the United States!

There would then be a exotic animals, insects, birds, warm blood, cold blood, and endangered animals buttons.
