What are your favorite YouTube language channels?

Akkie sensei is so great! (And a babe!)

I love, love, love Dogen!

For my target language (Persian) I mostly watch native content not related to language learning.
As for the language itself, Fara Zaban is the best - although it’s primarily for Iranian’s learning English.

For other languages / language learning, I try to support other Australians:

These are really good, but I am surprised no one mentioned Inner French yet. His earlier videos have slower spoken French and the later ones are a bit faster. After researching his topics, he posts videos and releases podcasts about a variety of topics.

Merci, je voulais dire InnerFrench aussi. Pour moi, c’est vraiment un des meilleurs podcast de ce genre. Enfin, c’est quelque chose qu’on peut écouter pour apprendre, mais aussi simplement parce que c’est assez intéressant. Je pense qu’il prépare très bien chaque sujet.

I think nobody mentioned European Portuguese, yet.
I basically started my Portuguese journey with the Practice Portuguese website.

This channel is new, so there aren’t that many videos, yet. It seems to be the style I like though. Somebody speaking the language clearly and about interesting topics.

I’d be really grateful for any recommendations of “normal” (not meant for learning) channels in European Portuguese, though. It’s so hard to find them. If I just search for a topic I like in Portuguese, I will get a zillion results from Brazil and usually zero from Portugal. So far I’m stuck with the news and whatever I can find on RTP. I do know Bumba na Fofinha and 5meianoite. They’re very fast paced and it’s just one joke after the other. I like those where one person just rants about a topic for a while or calm interviews or discussions, so I can listen to it in the background while cleaning or walking.

For Turkish this one is quite good.


And this one of course:
