Hi everyone!

I have a discovery for you! Maybe, you already know this Youtube channel. This is Renata Pereira's Youtube Channel. I found her channel maybe two years ago for learning English, but I acknowledge that I didn't watch many videos at that time. I prefered watching polyglot videos to learn English because it was more interesting than vlogs at that time, and because almost all the videos of polyglots are in English, so I think you got the point.

In this channel, Renata gives some advice about travel and share her experiences travelling the world.

So why do I say this is a Youtube channel that you can help you learn any language? I will explain this, but let me tell you the context before. I'm learning Swedish and I'm still struggling with finding interesting content, so sometimes I look for new Swedish channels, but I don't enjoy very much most of the content I've found so far.

One day, I watched a video from Couch Polyglot in Swedish with Swedish subtitles. I used also the plugin "Language learning with Netflix & Youtube" to have Swedish subtitles upper and English subtitles below to get more comprehensible input. This gave me the idea to watch another video from Laura (Couch Polyglot) in English with the subtitles in English and the Swedish translation below gotten thanks to the plugin and that works really well I would say. Instead of reading English subtitles, I read Swedish subtitles, but I cut off the sound because the video was in English. So I found a new and more interesting activity, which is only reading subtitles of videos (without the sound) that I find interesting so that I can get more compelling imput. Actually, you have two possibilities: either the videos contain close captions (cc) subtitles in English or in another language that you know well, but not in your target language, so you need to use the plugin to get the subtitles of your target language. Either, you find a Youtube channel like Renata Pereira's if you like watching content about travel vlog and you get massive input in almost any language because Renata put a lot of subtitles which are Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bangla, Belarusian, Burmese, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japenese, Javanese, Kannada, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Norwegian, Odia, Persian, Polish, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Sundanese, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uzbek and Vietnamese (50 languages!).

Of course you don't have the sound of the language, but you can add this activity to your language learning routine in addition to consume original content in your target language.

What I love the most with my method is to use it if you don't have too much interesting content in the language that you are learning. Let's take an example, let's imagine that you are learning telugu. It's a language spoken in the South of India, but as you can imagine, there are a few content in Telugu available on the Internet and obviously almost no content interesting to you. Thanks to Renata, you can learn it with the subtitles provided. Nevertheless, I would recommend to already have at least an A2 level in the language if you watch it without the plugin. Moreover, the vocabulary used by Renata and her husband is from daily life, so you'll surely encounter important words and come in handy expressions if your goal is to communicate with people.

I hope you found this post interesting.

Thanks for reading it!
