When we talk about learning English,
0

00:04
we often come up against one factor
1
4450
2066
00:06
that can hold back those learning the language.
2
6667
3583
00:10
Quite often,
3
10333
650
00:10
the tools needed for learning must be purchased.
4
10983
4184
00:15
They have to be paid for.
5
15250
2667
00:17
They are not free.
6
17917
2517
00:20
Well, I am here to give you some valuable
7
20434
2217
00:22
tips and useful advice on how to learn English whilst
8
22651
3883
00:26
using some great tools right here on YouTube.
9
26534
5284
00:31
And yes, they are free.
10
31901
3613
00:41
The first tool on my list
11
41368
1500
00:42
might seem obvious, but I will mention it anyway.
12
42868
4234
00:47
The action of actually watching
13
47185
1984
00:49
and listening to video lessons or any content on
14
49169
3166
00:52
YouTube is still free of charge.
15
52335
3917
00:56
You can easily view as many of my English lessons
16
56336
3983
01:00
as you want for as many times as you need to.
17
60319
4634
01:05
That alone makes YouTube
18
65036
2484
01:07
a brilliant resource for self-education.
19
67520
4750
01:12
Next, there are captions or subtitles.
20
72353
4084
01:16
They are both the same thing and provide
21
76520
3000
01:19
valuable help in understanding and putting the context
22
79520
3417
01:23
of what is being said in the video being viewed.
23
83187
4017
01:27
Read the text on the screen whilst listening.
24
87287
3917
01:31
It is both simple and effective.
25
91287
3601
01:34
Another feature of YouTube captions is the ability
26
94971
3183
01:38
to translate the spoken language into your own
27
98154
3034
01:41
native speech.
28
101188
1117
01:42
This function is not easy to find,
29
102305
2083
01:44
but with just a couple of clicks,
30
104388
1833
01:46
you can see
31
106221
717
01:46
what is being said on the screen in front of you.
32
106938
3000
01:50
This feature normally works best on a PC
33
110188
2934
01:53
equipped with a large viewing monitor.
34
113122
3250
01:56
To get the auto translated, captions
35
116455
2817
01:59
activate the captions, select settings,
36
119272
4717
02:04
click on captions settings
37
124072
2634
02:06
Select auto Translate
38
126706
2500
02:09
and choose the language
39
129206
1017
02:10
you want to translate the captions to.
40
130223
2583
02:12
It's as simple as that.
41
132806
5000
02:17
If that wasn't enough, you
42
137873
1200
02:19
can also read a transcript of the video as it plays.
43
139073
4100
02:23
It is also possible to copy and store words
44
143257
2966
02:26
from the transcript as well.
45
146223
1884
02:28
For future reference,
46
148107
2367
02:30
you can use any translation software
47
150474
2200
02:32
to check the meaning
48
152674
1200
02:33
of any part of the script in your own language.
49
153874
3900
02:37
All these tools provide a powerful advantage
50
157857
3217
02:41
to your ability to learn English for free.
51
161191
4367
02:45
Modern smartphones also allow you
52
165624
2384
02:48
to take photographs and screenshots of the captions
53
168008
3900
02:51
which can then be translated
54
171991
1584
02:53
into your own native language using an AI.
55
173575
5500
02:59
So as you can see,
56
179158
967
03:00
there are many ways
57
180125
900
03:01
to learn English on YouTube and through YouTube.
58
181025
3417
03:04
And the best part of it is all the tools are free.
59
184525
5351
03:09
Just like all of my English lessons are.
60
189959
3000
03:13
Good luck with your studies.
61
193176
1650
03:14
Enjoy English. And of course...
62
194826
