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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
