Listening to content allows you to essentially approach language learning stress-free. This means that you\u2019re not bound by visual examples (sentences, images, or videos) and you\u2019re only focusing on the verbal content provided by the speaker. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of it as a one-sided conversation with your YouTube instructor or teacher with minimum distractions. On the plus side, you can press pause any time you want without necessarily having to rewind once you press play again, since no response is required from you (in most cases). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonetheless, a good trick to implement while listening is to keep a notepad nearby. You never know when you might hear a cool English word or something you\u2019d love to have written down for future use. If a notepad is too much of a hassle, another way of doing this is just quickly opening the Notes app on your mobile phone and jotting your thoughts down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Here\u2019s how I suggest English learners approach listening on YouTube:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimize outside distractions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepare a pen and notepad on the side.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find content that benefits your proficiency the most.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focus on the content at hand.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take occasional notes, if needed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a nutshell, learning through listening to content on YouTube is actually pretty effective if you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/2018\/01\/04\/passive-listening\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">know how to approach it<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

These types of videos often serve to drill what has previously been learnt or clarify a certain aspect of English that you often come across but don&#8217;t fully understand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good thing is you\u2019re not limited to written exercises only, but can also have pronunciation, reading or writing practice. This may be extremely useful for learners preparing for a particular exam, which causes them to search for very specific terms on YouTube and do some prep work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLn7iYKq-G3PJHbixYlgvjO7pNg4qMp6c7\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-176600328 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2-1024x288.jpg\" alt=\"Learn English with the LingQ podcast\" width=\"870\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2-1024x288.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2-768x216.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2-600x169.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/English_Blog-Banner2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Here\u2019s how I suggest English learners approach exercising on YouTube:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search for highly specific topics that concern you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time your exercises and aim to limit your options to \u201ccheat\u201d.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practice new things; occasionally revise what you already know.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include a variety of exercises (all four language skills).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing to note here: being that most English learning YouTube channels that include exercises in their videos tend to make their exercises somewhat easy or moderately hard to complete, I reckon that advanced English learners won\u2019t find much use in this technique, unless the channel specifically mentions the level of difficulty. Nonetheless, one can never have too much practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On that note, here are my top recommendations for YouTube channels with great exercises for English language learners: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@crashcourse\">Crash Course<\/a>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCrRiVfHqBIIvSgKmgnSY66g\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MmmEnglish<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCV1h_cBE0Drdx19qkTM0WNw\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily English Conversation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bbclearningenglish\">BBC Learning English<\/a>, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCu4AP8qmYnXNUipUeyPQKig\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eat Sleep Dream English<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>So, have you found the best way to learn English on YouTube <\/b><b><i>for you<\/i><\/b><b> in this article?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If so, I hope you\u2019ll do your best at following my recommended steps and channels to maximize your English proficiency. However, there\u2019s still so much that we do online that has affected us as language learners, such as swapping traditional books for e-books, audio books or podcasts while also growing our sympathy for online courses, games, and e-learning as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The list goes on\u2026 There\u2019s nothing bad about any of this, honestly, but we have to know <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">where<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we can make the most out of our time and learning online. Luckily for English learners (and learners, in general), YouTube offers the perfect solution for literally any given topic today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exactly <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/en\/learn-english-online\/\">best way to learn English<\/a> on YouTube?
