Turning YouTube videos into Spanish lessons
It’s one thing to watch YouTube videos, it’s another to study them. If you really want to improve your Spanish reading and listening skills, I recommend making sure you follow the dialogue from start to finish.
However, this can be quite challenging on YouTube since you can’t easily look up the definition and reading the closed captions can be a bit of an eye-sore (especially on mobile).
See what I mean? The text is tine and there are ads popping up. Now, let me show you a better way to listen and read content off of YouTube…
See, isn’t that better? Thanks to LingQ, you can create lessons using content you love. You can read the dialogue, listen to the audio, look up words, save them, and much more. Not only that, LingQ is available for iOS and Android, allowing you to take your lessons on the go!
