This video is gonna be about eight YouTube channels that I watch on a regular basis and they all have to do with linguistics

Languages language learning etc. And of course I watch other YouTube videos, but

This video is gonna be specifically about my language learning channels that I watch all the time

The first of which let me focus it in there on the laptop the first of which is called

The Ling space and this is a YouTube channel

That's all dedicated to linguistics and it's very interesting

And it's not super academic. It's easy enough for anyone to understand. You don't have to have a background in linguistics

It's run by a guy named Moti Lieberman. I don't know if you can really see there on the screen

But he lives in Montreal. I think he studied at at McGill University and

Majored in linguistics, and now he just makes videos about all kinds of different stuff related to linguistics

So he has videos on

semantics pragmatics

pronouns

morphology syntax phonetics phonology general linguistics historical linguistics socio linguistics

Here I see. He has an interview with Steven Pinker, which I haven't seen this one yet. So

Actually now I'm really excited to see that because Stevens pink Steven Pinker is a big name in the linguistics community

And he's great. So if you've seen any of my videos on linguistics

if

You have any interest in linguistics if you have a basic knowledge and you want to learn more, this is great

This channel is perfect for anyone who's just interested in the way languages work

The next channel I want to point out is called French sounds and this is run by a lady named Carol, I believe

or Cheryl, I think her name is Cheryl and

She has a PhD in French linguistics or French phonology, I believe

and that's exactly

What her channel is.

So if you're learning French and you want to learn how to pronounce things better in French

this would be gonna be a great channel to

Look up and watch for yourself if you're not

Then hopefully you can find something similar in the language that you're learning, you know, if you're learning Spanish or German or something

You know, go ahead and do a youtube search for youtubers that do German linguistics or Russian linguist Russian phonology

Or whatever it is that you're learning

she is super great because

She uses the IPA and goes through each individual sound in French and then different combinations of sounds

If you don't know the IPA, I have a few videos on that. I have a whole

series that I'm doing on linguistics right now that has a video on

Phonology and one on phonetics

So she just does a really good job of

breaking down the different sounds and teaching you how to pronounce them in a simple way because

You know a lot of times

When you're learning a new language

you don't always know exactly how to pronounce the sound so you don't know what to do with your throat what to do with your

Mouth well, you know how to move your tongue in your mouth

She has a PhD in this so she was really good at explaining exactly what you have to do when you speak French

Next channel that I want to point out is called the polyglot gathering now

This is pretty well known

It's a gathering that usually meets in Europe once a year in different cities. They had been in Berlin for a few years now

I think they're in Slovakia or somewhere and there's just a lot of big-name polyglots, you know

Richard Simcott, I think Steve Kaufman usually goes

Benny Lewis

Luca you know all the really famous polyglots that you've probably have seen their videos, you know

They all show up and then for I don't know a week or so they have this conference

and

They just do different

Workshops different events, and there's a lot of seminars and different topics that have to do with language learning

And being a polyglot

And it's just really interesting. You can actually watch all of the videos for free here on their Channel. So

Let's see here we have one that's taught by Benny. It looks like that one's in Russian

Can you learn language while sleeping, you know, they have a bunch of big-name polyglots. Here's Steve Kaufman talking about LingQ

A lot of the really famous polyglots talking about different areas of language learning that they're experts in

And these videos are all quite long.

The shortest is about half an hour and some of them are you know over an hour long, but it's kind of nice

I like to just put one on and listen to it while I'm doing something else

Maybe you know while I'm getting ready for bed or something and then you just you learn little tidbits about certain aspects of language learning

From the experts. So this is a really great channel. I watch it quite often

The next channel I want to point out is Ted en Español

And this is essentially just TED talks but Spanish so there's an entire

Channel dedicated to TED talks - it's like the TEDx Channel

but only videos that are in Spanish and if you don't know what TEDx is it's essentially just

Just short little

seminars little messages

I don't know you'd call them short videos where they get a lot of experts to come on and just do a short video on

Random topics in their field, you know, they'll do one on

psychology or biology

Political science

Doesn't even always have to be super academic. Sometimes it can just be something really fun

you know, they have musicians come on and talk about something really quick and brief but in their field and

You know a lot of times they're just really interesting short little mind opening videos

And this channel doesn't actually really have to do with language learning but because it's in a Spanish

It's it's in a language that I'm trying to maintain. It's just really nice to have that as a resource that I can just

Sit back and just watch something and be entertained

In the language that I'm learning that I'm trying to maintain

obviously if you're

gonna watch this video this channel then you need to have pretty solid basis in Spanish a lot of their

Their videos do have subtitles so that makes it a little easier

And if you're not learning Spanish, then I would recommend looking for something similar and the language that you're learning

Next

Channel, I want to point out is evildea. And if you don't know who this guy is you need to watch him

He is an Esperantist. He does a lot of videos on

Esperanto related subjects

Usually in Esperanto, but with English subtitles and sometimes he does videos in English

and

So a lot of his videos are actually on Esperanto related subjects

But he also does a lot of just daily life videos talking about his life

You know talking about his travels what he's doing, but it's in Esperanto, which is a great way of kind of doing a passive

Maintenance or you know maintaining your language passively

Just by watching the vlogger. He's very entertaining. He's quite dorky actually

And he just I don't know if you can see the different, let me see if I can

He just he's just weird. I can't zoom in I was gonna try to show you his face right there

He's just he's weird but it's fun. It's entertaining and I really enjoy watching him. So I

recommend watching

Evildea, even if you don't speak Esperanto, like I said, he usually does subtitles. So that's not a big issue

Next channel I want to talk about is called Deva yoga

Or I should say Diva yoga

it's

Not a language learning channel. This is a yoga channel, but I enjoy watching it because

I'm learning French and specifically she is a French speaker from Canada

which is the dialect of French that I am most interested in learning and there are a ton of of

channels that are dedicated to

yoga in French, but I like to watch her channel because

She first of all because she speaks the dialect that I I wants to speak and also because she does

Subtitles on some of her videos so it just makes it easier to comprehend what I'm able to read and hear what I'm reading

Um, so I watch her videos quite often not always her videos, you know, sometimes I watch other ones as well

I usually just search for

You know

"yoga avec sous titres"

or "yoga with subtitles"

and

I'm you know, I do it a lot of times in the morning after waking up and it's just nice way to

kind of wake up in the morning and

Relax, and be rejuvenated and learn languages at the same time. This is something that I already

want to do

It's a great way of

adding language learning to my daily routine, especially since yoga video is typically you can just

Watch what they're doing in the video

Without and so you're not missing anything even if you don't understand everything that they say you can follow along pretty well

even if you can't understand 100% of what they're saying as a matter of fact

if you're just interested in doing yoga, then you could

For the most part you don't even need to speak the language in order to follow along and do what they're doing now

You know, you're not gonna understand everything and there probably will be some things that you just misunderstand if you don't speak the language

but it's a good way to get exposure and

You know

It doesn't hurt to do it in a foreign language because you can just watch what they're doing in the video and follow along

Loashu I don't know if that's exactly how you pronounce it and it's actually his channel name is

Loashu five hundred and five thousand five zero five zero zero zero

This guy is super interesting

and

He is a polyglot who speaks like I don't even know how many languages guy speaks. It has to be more than 30

Not well though he speaks

maybe three or four languages well, and he speaks a ton of languages that he sucks at but

The point of his channel is not to be really good at

Speaking grammatically, correct the point of his channel is that he's brave

He is a bold language learner who goes out and practice his practices his languages on the street

And he learns he calls it levelling up whenever he goes out and speaks with someone in their native language

He's a very interesting person and I have to say he's not

What I would consider to be a great youtuber a great language learner

he

his

His videos, you know, they're not edited very well and he doesn't put a whole... he doesn't seem like he's a great

Videographer, but

The insights that you get from watching him are just very valuable

It's very motivating to watch someone go out and just a lot of times just struggle through a language

But you see the reactions of the people that he's speaking to and it's just motivating

It makes me want to go out and do the same thing

Usually what he does. Is he has like a hidden camera somewhere

I think he he has a hat with a hidden camera or something and he goes out and he just videotapes himself speaking

To native speakers. He'll go to you know, Asian restaurants or or you know

Indian grocery stores Mexican places a lot of times

He just goes to the mall and I'll just look for someone to speak his languages with and since he speaks like a billion

He's constantly running into people to speak with now a lot of times he only knows how to say like hello

How are you?

You know, I'm learning Turkish, you know and you watch him struggle and there's usually subtitles so you can follow along with what he's saying

But it's just very interesting very motivating now

I haven't actually been following him recently because I watched a lot of his videos and he was putting out a ton of live streams

And it's basically after a while it is all the same thing

He's just going into different restaurants different stores and then just struggling to speak

So I stopped following him for a while because it just got to be all the same thing

but that that's not to discount his channel because I think he's great and I love his technique and I love his passion and

his boldness

So I highly recommend checking him out. It's Loashu five zero five zero zero zero

And the last channel that I want to bring up is called Lang focus

And this is run by a guy named Paul who also seems to be very nerdy

about languages because he's just very

Intelligent and he knows a whole lot

His channel is extremely informative if he does languages every I don't know how often he does them every week or so

Let me see you might say up here somewhere

This is I'm not sure how often he does videos to be quite honest, but it's quite often

I see I get little updates from him and last one was two hours ago two weeks ago three weeks ago

yeah, so it looks like he just does about

One video a week but very informative videos

and usually about a certain language or a

Family of languages or something and it's just amazing how much he knows.

I think he must have a team of researchers or something to

Put out these videos because he just knows a ton and like I said, his videos are extremely informative

He gives you all kinds of little details and interesting facts about languages and he's able to cram a whole ton into

His videos are usually what 10 15 minutes long at most

And so, you know here he has a language on toki pona he has a language on he has a video on Korean

how similar are Quebec French and

metropolitan French

Oh what a few weeks ago, well a few months ago when I was in Spain and I was learning Portuguese

I started watching his videos on how similar are Spanish and Portuguese
