RhodaDEttore Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I used Youtube to learn just about everything else, and I never considered using them for language. Are there any good teachers on there? do you subscribe to any links you find most useful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabina12 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 There are some tutorial YouTube videos about languages or translations. Some are even made funny to catch attention and others are comprehensive enough to teach the basics. I do not subscribe to any channels but I think you can browse and see if those videos will be useful enough for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trellum Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I honestly don't like using YouTube to learn languages, specially not fr the language I'm currently studying, because I have already found a great way to study it! YouTube can be a great place to find some additional material, so I'd not say it's totally useless for me. I'll most likely go there to when I need to hear different accents and need to improve my listening skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takibari Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 With YouTube being a free site, there's bound to be limitations to the quality of materials for language learning. Like what the other poster mentioned, there's bound to be a channel where you can learn from. You only need to browse. Like herself, I also don't subscribe to any channel as I would just randomly search if there's something I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfairy Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I also watch Youtube videos focusing on the specific language I'm trying to learn. Since I focus on Japanese language I look for videos which features a native speaker teaching Japanese using the English language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammie_bee Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I have used YouTube to learn specific words or phrases but not have not watched a whole series of lessons all the way through. For example, I wanted to brush up on counting higher then 10 in Spanish and just searched for videos on that. There are tons of videos and they very a lot in quality.

elles-belles Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I agree with most of the posters I doubt that you will get quality learning material from Youtube mostly because it is free and there is a lot of traffic towards it. However if maybe you just want to polish up a few language skills then you can definitely use it. I wouldn't recommend it for learning a completely new language.All the best.
