Yabla.com - Learn a Language with Authentic Videos

Yabla is the new leader in the language learning revolution. Forget boring books, expensive classes and busy work, Yabla's teaching methods are intriguing and will get you hooked.

Yabla e-mersion is all about authentic videos that concern interesting subject matter, are delivered in the native tongue and display the spoken words in their original language and the primary language of learner. Video subjects such as real television programs, film and music provide a content-driven program for the learner and a feeling that not only are they learning the language, but also getting to know the culture. The narrators and speakers in the videos are excellent and there is a cool feature where learners can slow down the talking speed with out messing with the tone of the words. With this tool, the words are still played with the correct pronunciation and rhythm, just much slower. The speakers are also shown on the video as they talk, which is a great opportunity for learners to understand how the mouth moves and how sounds are made. Subtitles are also a smart learning tool, as they stream in the two languages or only the new language if the learner so desires, and each word can be clicked on to find the definition. The definition pops up to the right of the video screen and does not stop the flow of information. Independent learners, K-12 schools, and ESL educators should give Yabla,com a try, it will be a hit and ensure valuable second language acquisition.
