Foreign language videos

I think reading a book is a better way to learn a language then watching foreign language videos, because learning a language from a book is very focused and easy on the eyes. However, watching foreign language videos is still not bad.

There are many foreign language videos on the internet from almost any video sharing site such from youtube.com to youku.com – The problem is that to watch them for language learning you need to develop a very well organized filing and folder system for watching these foreign language videos to make them effective. That is watch them over and over again.  This of course requires downloading them.
