The Best Language Learning Sites and Content to Import Into LingQ

Hi, with VPN you can access “Video on Demand” site of TVP (polish TV) https://vod.tvp.pl/.
And there you can also find the famous polish serial “rodzinka.pl” with subtitle. It is very hard to find original polish produced serials with subtext. And in this serial you also find the daily spoken Polish. So its very worth to import to LingQ.
However, the LingQ importer was not able to get the subtitle from one episode to LingQ . Exampel:

@Erik or other technicians: I am quite sure that, for example in Chrome DevTools, there is a way to grep somehow the subtitle (text). Do you have some ideas how to do that manually? Maybe that helps to improve the LingQ importer (Add-on in Chorme and other browsers).

Cheers, Martin

Good idea. For Korean, I recommend linguasia.com for advanced learners. They have more natural content that cover topics like slang 55 Cool Korean Slang Words You Need to Know in 2023 that can be useful.

I really like the Radio Ambulante content for Spanish. I wish Lingq had the transcripts from Lengalia podcasts – I’ve been importing them but it’d be a great resource to have them all.

For Indonesian check these sites:
nice short videos

childrens books

lots of content on culture and language

Merci beaucoup, c’était très amusant de regarder vos vidéos. Je viens de Norvège et j’étudie actuellement le turc. Mais maintenant, j’étais très tenté d’étudier davantage le français. Je souris d’une oreille à l’autre. Tu as rendu ma journée meilleure.

Just found your youtube channel. It is so fun and easy to watch and listen. Thankyou so much. And I will be subscribing.

Recently I’ve been reading a lot of movies that I watched in the past. This is great for two reasons: the scripts are shorter than books, 20-50 pages per movie, and I can read faster than the duration of any movie.

I use https://subdl.com/ to download subtitles, Extract Text from subtitle, remove timestamps to clean the timestamps and text editors to substitute new lines with spaces. The I load the text in LingQ and keep grinding :slight_smile:

A really incredible resource for Modern Greek: ebooks of the state textbooks for primary and secondary school students Διαδραστικά Σχολικά Βιβλία - Αρχική σελίδα

Hi,

I wanted to add a Bulgarian podcast to the Shared Content list but there is no choice for Bulgarian language in the pulldown menu. Please add, this is a fantastic resource.

I think getting videos from YouTube (ones for native speakers) and then having a transcript generated by a cheap service like Sonix.ai is interesting. I think it is worth the few dollars it costs for a machine generated transcript. I’m wondering if a lot of other people are doing this.

I have started using YouGlish for french Improve your French pronunciation using YouTube for pronunciation of new words. But I am also finding it useful as a sort of “short listening and reading in context” exercise with particular word/s. Not to mention a way of discovering new content that I can import into lingQ as my language ability improves.

I studied the language in additional courses, it was not very bad, but I decided to change them because it was getting boring.

I’m considering teaching Spanish, I’m native Spanish speaker and I’d like to know the teaching system you’re using or you might recommend. In fact, sometimes it is mandatory. I appreciate when people is learning my native language and I really like to help with it.

Just to inform you my podcast “The French Instinct” is now one year old and has reached more than 20k downloads. It’s featured between the top 35 French learning podcasts you must follow in 2021 https://blog.feedspot.com/french_learning_podcasts/ . All the scripts are available on my website https://thefrenchinstinct.org and you can listen to the podcast on most apps: Spotify, Itunes, Pdbean, etc.

I use Youglish https://youglish.com to find content with closed captions in my target language.

Do note that it tends to favor things like TED talks (I prefer not to import this content as it’s a bit long for me and TED talk’s are not standard or written speech but professional).

However this fills in parts of the API that YouTube search doesn’t have (Closed Captions can’t actually cover what language of closed captions your looking for).

What I will do when I find a video I like, I will go to their channel click on their YouTube channel and then run a search on YouTube with their channel name and then select the closed caption button. (then I will import everyone of their closed captioned videos into a LingQ lesson)

You can also specify if you want to listen to English speakers from the UK, US, Canada.

You just search by a word that your interested in.
