Hi, Bob the Canadian here. As you know, YouTube is an amazing tool for learning a language like English. There are, however, a few tips that I can give you that might make that experience even better, so in this video, I'm going to look at YouTube as a language learning tool and I'm gonna give you as many tips and I'm gonna show you as many tricks as possible so that you can make that experience even better. (light music) Well hey, welcome to this video on how to use YouTube to improve your English. Before we get started though, if you are new here, don't forget to click that red subscribe button below and give me a thumbs up if this video helps you learn just a little bit more English. The first thing that you can can do when you are watching YouTube videos to improve your English, is to adjust the speed. If we look at a mobile device, if I do this on my phone, the way I would do it is I would click the three dots in the top right corner and after you click those three dots you can choose playback speed. From the playback speed menu, I would choose 0.75 to slow the video down, and then when I play the video, hard working person, you can hear that it's a little bit slower. You can also press the three dots and go to playback speed and set the playback speed higher to 1.25 if you want to challenge yourself and play the video a little faster. As being the salt of the Earth. They were people who worked hard. I'll pause that. Let's look at the same thing on the computer. On the computer, if you want to change the speed, you would click down here where you see the gear. Once you click the gear, you would choose playback speed and you can see, you have the same options as what we did on the phone. When I select 75% or 0.75, you can use them if you want, but when you, it is still very understandable and it is just a good way to slow down an English speaker. If I click on playback speed and choose 1.25 it will be faster. The cool thing about the computer though, is you can choose custom as one of your speeds. My favorite speed when listening to a video that's in French that's too fast is 0.85. We're at the store, everything. Which slows the video down, but still makes it very easy to understand. So, the first thing that you can do to help you when you are watching English videos on YouTube is to either slow the video down,
