I've been watching the videos that accompany the textbook "Kuaile Hanyu (快乐汉语)". There are 24 short clips, each 2-3 minutes long, with very simple language, a natural setting, and very rich cultural context. The videos portray the lives of 2 overseas students, young teenagers, and their friends and host families in Beijing.
For example, one video shows Annie, an exchange student, sitting down to breakfast with her hosts Xiaohong and her mother. They have laid out a huge breakfast with many choices. Annie tries the doujiang (豆浆）but doesn't like it. She also doesn't care for the hot milk her host mother brings her, and instead goes to the refrigerator to get cold milk. She eats her western breakfast (milk, bread and eggs) while Xiaohong and her mom have 豆浆 and 油条。
The videos are a great, visual way to show students how families live in China!
