Using YouTube to Study English
Here are some YouTube videos that I think are good for studying English:
When you have WiFi or are not worried about downloading lots of data use EnglishCentral.
- Kids Stories (British Council) (English subtitles)
- Rapunzel - Bedtime Story (BedtimeStory.TV) (English and Japanese captions)
- Harry the Dirty Dog read by Betty White (StorylineOnline) (English captions)
- Finding Dory Official Trailer #2 (English captions)
- Zootopia Official Trailer #2 (English captions)
- How miscommunication happens (TED Ed) (English and Japanese captions)
- Why is this better than using an app on your phone?
- Windows: WinX YouTube Downloader
- Mac: MacX YouTube Downloader
- Site: Downsub.com
- Trick: Change extension (拡張子) from srt to txt
- Put captions on phone with Evernote
- Use Rikai on a computer
How to search for videos like these:
- Look for more videos on the same channel
- Key words: stories, trailer, etc
- Search for videos with captions
