List of YouTube channels with accurate (or close to accurate) subtitles/closed captions

Hey All,

I thought maybe a thread like this might be helpful for learners. I’m trying to branch out with the content that I use to learn Spanish and was looking for Spanish Youtube videos to import to LingQ. My problem was I was working on a lesson that I imported last night and got so frustrated because the subtitles were really inaccurate and not helpful.

So, I thought maybe I would post Youtube channels that I found to have very good subtitles (of course nothing is perfect) and maybe others can share their resources as well.

I have not searched a lot yet, but I found these two so far:

VisualPolitik (news/current events/politics)
BBC Mundo (news/current events/politics/culture)

Anybody have any others they would like to share?

For German:

  • MrWissen2go: Current events, history, politics, and culture, sometimes presented with opinion.
  • Germania: Immigrants to Germany–or children of immigrants, which are the majority that I’ve seen so far–talk about their experience moving to/growing up in Germany.

For Dutch:

Clipphanger: short 1-2 minute educational videos from https://schooltv.nl/ produced by NTR, a merger of NPS (Nederlandse Programma Stichting), Teleac (Televisie Academie) and RVU (Radio Volksuniversiteit) in all their previous forms, they’ve produced well over 300 of these videos over the last 7 years and new videos are always coming out.
