Every now and again, I take a youtube clip with French or German subtitles, turn down the sound, and read the subtitles. Then I replay it with the sound to see how correctly I understood it.

It works well because the clips are short (or you can just watch a few minutes several times before moving on) and the topics can be much more interesting than what you'd find in a language package. And best of all, it's free.

This is a nice easy one if you have at least intermediate French:

Chomsky vs Bolkestein : Dutch Debate (English sound, French subtitles): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47nmBSNjkNs&feature=related

Or, you can play a clip without looking at it, and listen. Then go back and watch the clip and check the subtitles match with what you thought you understood.

This one is upper-intermediate/advanced (for those who like French).

Alain Soral on Feminism, subtitled. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do5zrdTb-yI

Hahaha: "...les f�ministes jouent un r�le des idiots utiles ..."

This is one of my favourite subjects ever to talk about.

Here's a video I made explaining a method I like:

I learned most of the Korean I know getting drunk in bars. Nothing like a bit of liquid courage to get yourself trying out random phrases with complete strangers. My progress with the language has drawn to a near halt since I stopped getting trashed on a twice weekly basis.

For those who want to practice their 'football speak' in Deutsch: http://www.legofussball.eu/


It's a site full of little Lego action clips of notable football matches. Short and cute.

Ha! French for Geordies

This is particularly funny for me as my uncle was a Geordie but spoke fluent French.
