There are lots of video sharing websites but Yappr is the first one which has been designed specifically for learners of English. What makes all the difference is that the videos have subtitles (or translations) in English and you can replay phrases at the click of a button. You will also find notes
explaining idioms and phrases that you don’t necessarily find in text
books. There's a good selection of videos organised in categories (perhaps 'sexy' is one we could have done without) and if you register, you can chat with other Yapprs around the world or comment on videos. You can already edit translations and very soon you will be able to post, transcribe and translate videos yourself.
This makes it a very interesting tool for teachers, who'll be able to put their own favourites online. In fact, Yappr promises to become the YouTube of English language learning.
