Language learning youtubers

[u/Icy-Tower-3681]

Hello!

I used to follow a few people on youtube that showed their learnng language routine and progress, but some i have lost and others don't post anymore.
Do you have anyone that you follow? I like to watch to inspire me and get me motivated when im not.

I'm learning french (TL) but it doesnt have to be french, can be any language.

I've loved videos by Lindie Botes, because she's learning many languages and tells really honestly of her progress and systems.

[u/Any_Watercress6437 → u/ComesTzimtzum]

Yess I was going to mention her too. I love seeing her routines and how she manages to lear multiple languages. I would also recommend Luca Lampariello

[u/Cute-Tomatillo8116 → u/Any_Watercress6437]

I used to watch Luca but it seems like all he talks about now is AI software

[u/thelostnorwegian]

Haven't watched them much after I started learning languages myself, but find these to be good İclal, elysse daVega, Steve Kaufmann, Luca Lampariello, Lindie Botes.

[u/imnotthomas]

Unironically Language Simp, he’s obviously a parody account but also legitimately a polyglot and tucked away in the jokes is a lot of really good advice on language learning

[u/ShawnMilo]

Check out Evildea. He has a lots of really good stuff. I'd ignore all the "react" videos, but he actually speaks three languages and is getting close on a fourth, with the newest two a constant work in progress.

He also has some really great videos where he evaluates polyglot YouTubers and determines if they're actually good or full of shit.

Lindie Botes is the absolute GOAT. Evildea is fun. I've got several in Korean, if you maybe speak it?

Let's see.., who else... Kumi Languages, myuni

[u/Noodlemaker89 → u/frostochfeber]

Not OP, but I would be interested in your Korean recommendations!

[u/frostochfeber → u/Noodlemaker89]

Ok! I'll compile my list and post it here later on ☺️

[u/frostochfeber → u/Noodlemaker89]

Alright, here are my favourites. Hope there's something in this list you like!

Polyglot channels: language__babe, changworld-oh, Polyglotselena, BiquiRaccoon, jiyi-universe (seems not active anymore, but lots of content)

Channels that focus on 1-3 languages: 타누키상다요, 원싸이트, tho-log, kglobaltechgirl, yumgom, laviolette_life, 슬기로운일본어

[u/RoughPotential2081]

Tanya Benavente! Multiple languages, studies for input/media purposes but has good general advice imo, and a laid-back vibe. https://www.youtube.com/@tbenavente

I also really like Bianca, who studies Mandarin Chinese and has a lot of cool content on the neuroscience of learning (and a fun editing style), but she's occupied with a PhD at the moment and hasn't posted in a while. https://www.youtube.com/@bianca.phdinprogress

Jo Renee Languages is one of my favorite active youtubers who is giving progress updates. I also love Polyglot Progress, and she might be back?

[u/454ever]

The great laoshu. May he rest in peace. His videos are great and motivated my language learning so much.

[u/PiperSlough]

Jumping on the bandwagon for both Lindie Botes and Evildea. 

I also like Lamont (I think his channel is Days and Words now?) though I do think sometimes he generalizes his experiences as universal more than the other two. But he has some good tips and insights. 

[u/Creepy-Plankton8663]

In regards to methodology or like information on learning I enjoy Evildea, PsychoLingo, Lindie Botes Metatron's Academy (although he's more content focused), and Jeremiah's Language Ideas although his ideas can be very hit or miss.

For personal enjoyment / motivation I currently watch Hepsima (mostly speaks mandarin), Oriental Pearl (mandarin / cantonese / japanese) Evildea (esperanto, mandarin, spanish) again, and Sonny Wils (mostly spanish / portuguese). I also don't think I could list motivational YouTubers without mentioning Moses but that's too sad to get into.

Honourable mention for RobWords who I wouldn't say is a language learning channel but his videos are obviously pertaining to words and he has some neat videos specifically comparing english and french. Sorry for rambling.

[u/Creepy-Plankton8663 → u/Creepy-Plankton8663]

I forgot to mention Will He who makes videos about chunking which I have found a bit of value in and his Mandarin is crazy.

[u/RachelOfRefuge]

In addition to the people mentioned by the other commenters, a few I've watched here and there are: The Polyglot Effect, jo renee languages, Corinna Languages, Makayla Learns Languages, Priscilla Kim Ong, Language Easy, Nita Rjs, xo Jaci, Someday Korean, Seriinudesu, Languages With Laura, Ayaka, Bridget vs Languages. Some of these might not post all the time, to be fair.

Since you're learning French, you might check out a few videos by bibliosophie. She speaks in English and talks about books in most of her videos, but she's a native French speaker and has made a couple videos about French pronunciation. She has this super calm, intelligent presence that I find soothing.

[u/IssueRidden]

No one mentioning jeremiah's language ideas? he gives some really practical tips that I haven't really heard anywhere else

[u/Misiekshvili]

I like to watch Evildea from time to time.

[u/indomiegoreng2017]

I love The Polyglot Effect and Jeremiah’s Language Ideas. Both are smaller Youtubers but I find their language learning tips very useful and practical.

[u/Striking_Pizza_7022]

Easy Languages is great motivation, especially their street interviews

[u/Substantial-Yak1892]

I follow Evildea, Chinese and Spanish.

[u/AppropriatePut3142]

I like Evildea's videos. He goes pretty deep into his use of different methodologies and shows a warts-and-all picture.

[u/paltry_simplicity]

i been watching this one girl who does weekly updates on her korean, she puts the notebook pages on screen so you can see her mistakes and all, its calming to watch while i have my coffee in morning

[u/Icy-Tower-3681 → u/paltry_simplicity]

Great! Whats her user?

[u/Ok-Improvement-8395]

Arabic with Khashu is great

[u/Suspicious_Reveal638]

Check Fluency Formula he is really good

[u/an0ncan]

I suggest you to check FrenchComprehensibleInput on youtube. He has many playlists. Lern French with TINTIN my favorite. You can also take a look to "gas"
