wholesaleblogger Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I was wondering what people find the best or most useful parts of language learning videos.Is it the way the lesson is delivered or maybe any graphics used in the videos to help you understand what is being said?

mareebaybay Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 The thing I like best about language videos is, the entertainment. I love watching a language video that is entertaining to me. It not only makes learning easier, but it keeps you attentive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miya Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Totally agree with mareebaybay. Language videos are fun to watch. The people who make them are usually very entertaining and try to throw in jokes every now and then. Even if I'm not interested in the language they're teaching, I can still enjoy it as a type of entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgaz83 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I like that I get to actually hear what a language sounds like, without trying to track down a native speaker in person. Of course, some of them can be pretty entertaining as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mareebaybay Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I think the thing I like most about language learning videos, are how entertaining they are. I love being entertained by videos, as I watch them. I think being entertained by a video, makes a big difference in whether or not you will actually watch the video. I mean who can watch a video they do not enjoy watching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trellum Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I like language videos that go straight to the point, and only offer some explanations when really needed. I just can't stand those vloggers who make language videos and go yada yada this and that before going to the point! That can be so annoying! Specially if you are just creating a video to help people learn a language, and not a video about the culture of the country where the language you want to learn is spoken. I plan to make my own videos for Youtube in the future, but I'll not be covering languages or anything. I plan to take the same approach I do now; go straight to the point. That's specially nice for cooking videos I really appreciate it when language vloggers don't go bla bla about their day at the start of the video.

Baburra Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 The best part for me would be if the video were funny or at least memorable. I've memorized a few foreign phrases from movies this way, and it surely helps if a whole video is dedicated to just those types of scenes. If I can remember the video or a scene, then it follows that I can remember the dialogue in it much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame6089 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Honestly I find language learning videos entertaining because the acting in them is usually so god awful. It is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipps Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I don't think I have ever watched a language video whilst self-teaching, what are they about? Are they like a film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmunmrhundun Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I like how entertaining language learning videos can be. I love how you can watch a learning video on Youtube and learn so much from it and be entertained by it at the same time. That is one of the reasons I like language learning videos so much.

sillylucy Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 I love watching language videos! I find that I learn quickly when I watch a language video. It's nice to see a language video that shows conversations between two people. It helps me apply what I've learned in my textbooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonyi Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Everything they use in delivering the lesson is important to me. From the graphics to the transcription on the screen is all so important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
