But those people are presumably beginners with no knowledge of English so it's obvious they would have a stronger accent.

I bought a video download of Just for Graphs, a standup comedy show about ...graphs, which is one-third Matt Parker ((en-gb)(en-au)) of Youtube fame.

I love it.

minerva scientia, a Japanese polyglot reading samples in various obscure languages, especially languages spoken in Japan. It seems as if all videos include translations into both Standard Japanese and English.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but Chef Rafi is a good channel for those who like to cook (especially fish) while learning languages at the same time.

So I was looking for the channel and stumbled upon this...

A cover of an anime OP in a Native American language? Sign me in!

(en-ca) Stef Sanjati

https://youtu.be/rq2jgM9kMlg

^her most recent video

I love her so much, she's one of my favourite people ever. She talks about LGBTQ+ topics, particularly regarding being trans, and specifically a trans woman because that's her experience. Also she endorses punching nazis in the face :3

I discovered her yesterday thanks to another channel that I've started following:

(en-ca) uppercaseCHASE1

And here are the channels I want to suggest today:

(it) cimdrp (mainly about feminism and LGBT+ issues)

(es) varfunfun (about philology, linguistics and books)

(it) Barbaroffa (about current events, languages (he's an interpreter), communication and other miscellaneous things. It's a good channel for people learning Italian because he speaks quite slowly and has a standard accent, I guess he took some diction courses)

Last night I watched a YouTube video by a woman and it hit me that this rarely happens. So I decided to sit down and see my subscription list. Only 4/75 of the YouTubers I follow are non-male, and of them only 1 has a regular publishing schedule.

It's an extreme disparity, although I don't think I will subscribe to last night's YouTuber because her topics are usually US social politics and while sometimes that can be interesting, I don't need regular updates.

I guess I will be going back in this thread to see what I can find.

(fr) Le Nouveau Programme - A series of documentaries about 20th-century architecture, so far focusing on France, Brazil and Algeria. I’d recommend it for learners; the host, Mohamed Gholam, has crystal-clear diction. It’d also be a good choice for a speaker of another Romance language who wants to check their passive understanding of French. (I remember Ciarán asking me for suggestions quite a while ago.) The only “problem” is the slow upload schedule.

(fr) La Suite de Trop - Humorous reviews of bad movie sequels. The jokes and faster delivery might make it less accessible for learners. On the other hand, since the videos are usually about popular film franchises, you’re likely to be familiar with the subject matter.
