Channel 4 Learning Puns

It's kinda weird how we all accept that it's pretty much mandatory that for the first 10 days your character must watch some TV shows about cooking and woodwork at fixed times each day, while society gradually collapses.

You also miss out on the interesting unfolding drama on the news channel, that shares the backstory about what is happening in nearby towns and cities.

The fact I set actual alarms while out scavenging for food, so I don't miss a TV episode is, let's face it, really odd. And it makes even less sense that I can magically learn how to build an actual load-bearing staircase after watching a few 10 minute woodwork TV segments.

So how about we change this to something a little more believable and less strange, such as;

• Skill learning with rare specialist books that take a long time to read, or
• Giving your character some upfront skillpoints to apply during the character creation process

Thoughts?

He does long form playthroughs of games like Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Dragon Quest where he translates the audio/text in the game.

They're not really edited at all; just uploads of his Twitch streams but I've been finding them super useful.

Hey all, I'm just getting into the Japanese YouTube scene but I thought I'd share a few gems I've found so far. For reference, I'm at an N3 level working towards N2. I'm trying to do more immersion learning to replace my hours and hours spent watching English YouTube, so I'm specifically looking for content that would also be interesting to me and just happens to be in Japanese.

心理カウンセラー ラッキー - I really like watching self help content and this is the best channel I've found so far. The narrator speaks slowly and clearly, and there are visuals & subtitles for everything. Some of the videos I understand 99%, and some I have a hard time following due to missing some key vocabulary. As a warning it does sometimes veer a bit into the toxic positivity side of self help, but overall most of the advice is useful and science based.

こんまりちぁんねる - This is Marie Kondo's personal channel, where she chats about tidying tips, raising her kids, differences between the US and Japan, etc. It's a little harder to follow because she speaks quickly and isn't as scripted, but she's also very well spoken (no mumbling) so it's great to practice a more natural conversational speed.

Also, if you haven't yet, install the Language Reactor (formerly known as Language Learning with Netflix) browser extension! It gives you a pop up dictionary and line by line translations for any videos with subtitles.

What are your favorite Japanese native content YouTube channels that are accessible to intermediate learners? Post them below and I'll check them out!

If you had to choose one source of knowledge which helped move your knowledge forward the most, what would you attribute that to? It can be a YouTuber, Book, App.. anything really.

Currently using Duolingo Plus, and it's a great start.. I think? Not sure what else is out there or if there are better learning tools.

Thank you!

the only issue is i suck at this game at the moment

edit: i'm fucking stupid and i thought i just had to press W and swing the knife every 2 seconds, i'm doing better now

I'm curious about what kind of YouTube channels learners are watching in Spanish that are NOT about the Spanish language or about language learning. So they could be channels about anything else: Cooking, makeup, silly DIY projects, travel, technology, tutorials, nuclear physics, biology, business, humor, talk shows, restoring old knifes, fitness, cat training, news, collectors, anything!

That’s what it stands for right? Isn’t that false representation of said product? Seems like a manipulation, exaggerated bastardization of the definition of the word “learning”.

Can someone explain?

(I guess it’s like MTV. They have nothing to do with MUSIC. )

1000lb sisters and this shit. Nothing is being taught. Nothing about this slice of paid for tv is educational. Ever.

i'm half indian half arab but whitewashed from both sides, and for a long time and due to bullying and social factors i used to be "ashamed" of being part indian but recently i got into urdu music and have been seeing a lot of indian girls being proud of indian and their language and culture so i decided i want to learn urdu (since covid and i dont have anything to do anyways). im not sure what good websites i could use, any help?

Instead of the burning pile of shit it is today. Anyone watch Surgery back in the day?

Hello all. While I was searching the courses related to machine learning, I have realized that most of the courses use the common datasets like Iris, Titanic vs. I am looking for a course/YT channel that explains concepts through machine learning projects especially regression ones. Can you recommend any youtube channel or course that goes through a real machine learning project? I would be glad if you suggest me something because I feel stucked right now :)

I am interested in finding an immersive learning experience for a young child, similar to what a native young Japanese child would use to acquire the language if they lived in Japan. I am not looking for an English heavy channel like "Ryan's World" as I personally believe that learning Japanese through the use of pictures, Japanese dialogue (with Japanese subtitles), and music is the best way to acquire the language, without the use of English translations or romaji. Some examples of the content I am looking for are 学ぶ子供たちyoutube.com/watch?v=IJEJzj6_gDo, a Japanese children's' song, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPmkAeuDOyk&t=32s, a Japanese children's story. I am looking to find a channel that has content that is similar to these examples. Thank you.

I just watched that Stitch Method Guitar guys lesson on the song Peggy-O. It was awesome how much he broke it down and I decided this guy would be great to start from scratch with and learn everything from the ground up. Trouble was....he's got sooooo many beginner videos and it's hard to know where to start.

Any suggestions for a great YouTube channel to learn from?

What are the best videos/ resources for learning production? I’m not new to Ableton, but consider myself a novice producer.

Currently Active Duty military and looking at perusing my Bachelors in Cybersecurity. While this isn't a subject I have a lot of hands on experience with, it is something I have an interest in actually learning. That being said I spend copious amounts of time on YouTube researching and trying to learn more about the hobbies and subjects I have interests in.

Would anyone like to recommend channels on YouTube that are not only informative but also fun to actually watch? From what I have found it all feels very dry and hard to follow along. I understand there are videos that go heavily into depth into certain subjects for over an hour. But I was hoping to find something more entertaining. However, I dont mind more serious channels if its would be better for overall learning of a subject.

Is anyone using any apps or YouTube channels for Learning meditation?

Dear all,

I am a native Chinese and have no experience in Chinese teaching before. However, I am interested in stuff like cultural differences and want to communicate with people from all over the world.

So my idea is that in each episode, my friend and I will introduce a topic in English for 5 min, and discuss it in totally Chinese for 15 min. And within a week we will add the subtitles/translation to all of our dialogue. I am thinking the form of our work to be podcast or youtube channel and hopefully we will interact with the audience by comments.

I got it this idea partially from my new year's plan and from a coincidance. It is when I surfing on youtube, I know from a youtuber that intermediate Chinese learners are looking for good content for their speaking/listening practice, and the online free resource of it seems to be limited.

And having this idea in my head, I want to know if intermediate Chinese learners are expecting this kind of content so we can move to another step and start to implement the plan.

Thank you for reading.

Happy New Year, Alectrona

I love to cook, but I want to understand the food science behind what I cook and improve my skills. I love Epicurious which incorporates some food science, but what other instructional channels do y’all recommend? TIA!

I mean c’mon. I’ve made my life into Japanese. I spend every free moment on Japanese, I eat sleep breath it and it’s taken YEARS to get a semblance of fluency. My opinion may be skewed bc Japanese does require more time and effort for English speakers, but c’mon.

I may just be jealous idk, but we all have the same 24 hours in a day. To see people with a straight face tell me they’re learning Tagalog and Spanish and Russian and Chinese at the same time 🤨🤨.

EDIT: So it seems people want to know what my definition of learning and fluency is in comparison. To preface I just want to say, yes this was 100% directed towards self-proclaimed polyglot pages and channels on SM. I see fluency as the ability to have deep conversations and engage in books/tv/etc without skipping a beat. It seems fluency is a more fluid word in which basic day-to-day interaction can count as fluency in some minds. In no way was this directed as discouragement and if it’s your dream to know 5+ languages, go for it! The most important thing is that we're having fun and seeing progress! Great insight by all and good luck on your journeys! 頑張って！

I'll start with a couple.

Faceware:

Just FYI, you'll see several faceware tutorials that talk about using it in conjunction with another software called glassbox live link. However, it appears that faceware now has its own live link and doesn't need glassbox live link anymore. Which is good because glassbox live link was way too expensive.
