If you’re ever in need of a source that presents how individual words are pronounced, then check out English with Collins Dictionary. Check out Americant Accent Online for similar content as well. When I am not sure about how a word is pronounced, I also check YouGlish which gives shows you a YouTube video that has the word you search for.
If you feel like these are too ‘lessonlike’ then here are my suggestions for watching content in your free time.
First channel I recommend is Rob’s Words. He is an amazing story teller and most of his content are about languages, linguistics, and history of the English language. Another great story teller is Tom Scott who also uploads many videos related to languages in general.
If you like keeping up with technology, MKHD and Mrwhosetheboss have great content on smartphones, TVs, computers, tablets, or electric cars. If you’re into hardware, then JerryRigEverything has amusing content where he breaks apart electronic devices to see how strong they are.
If you like science, here are my recommendations. Firstly, SmarterEveryDay is a wholesome and amusing channel with every day events explained through science with many slow-mo videos to analyze. Kurzgesagt is more of a science combined with fun animations kind of channel. EpicSpaceman has engaging videos where he visually explains the size of the universe, planets, and atoms. Veritasium has similar content with science history. Lastly, StarTalk is a podcast-like channel started by Neil deGrasse Tyson. For short explanation videos, MinuteEarth is great as well.
If you like cooking or dishes in general, I recommend Binging with Babish and YouSuckatCooking. Mark Wiens also combines food and traveling and narrates cultural dishes vividly.
If you’re into sports, Jeff Nippard has great vidoes about fitness explained with scientific articles.
Also, check out Vox which has fun general content. Johnny Harris also offers great content on both history of countries and global politics, and he has great maps. also recommend checking out channels that offer general content:
