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.

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!

Chinese Divisions(provinces, special administrative regions, municipalities, and autonomous regions) Edition
It would be great if you had a Chinese Provinces edition, similar to the U.S. States and Canadian Provinces editions you already offer especially since China is a large and diverse part of today's world.
