Did you find some good language YouTube channels for your studies here?
If you have any other language YouTube channels that I missed, please leave a comment below! I am always looking to add to this list 🙂
P.S – If you are sitting at your computer screen all day (like me), then I cannot recommend these blue light glasses enough!
These glasses are amazing! They are so comfortable and lightweight and they block the blue light emitted by digital products and prevent UV400, as well.
Blue blockers are extremely important for you if you use your phone or computer often. They help you get to sleep faster and sleep better, they reduce eye strain and headaches, and they can be worn over contacts!
And don’t forget to check out my language learning printables on Etsy! 🙂
From study packs and charts to goal creation to vocab help to weekly language planners and so much more!
These printables will help any language learner - no matter the level or language!
