Watch videos with subtitles - Einstein the parrot

There are tons of video sharing sites on the web. Some of them are even designed for language learning and sometimes they provide subtitles too. I have tried and become slightly disappointed with most of them for one reason or the other. Some have bad quality videos, some have only 'funny' vids with people falling flat on their faces, on others the subtitles don't really match the actual script and so on. The best that I have found so far - is Ted . (many thanks to Learn English Online for the info)

Ted has more than 450 videos of talks and performances in many different topics. Both the sound and the picture quality are excellent and ALL videos come with at least an English subtitle that matches the video script as closely as possible. Some of them have subtitles in several other languages as well.
If you take the plunge I suggest that you pick from one of these categories first:

Most favorited all time
Rated jaw-dropping (meaning that you will be so amazed that your jaw will 'drop')
... funny

You can select the category from the left side bar next to the videos. Once you have made your choice and have started to watch your first video try to resist the temptation to click on the subtitle box. Keep that for later so you can check how much of it you can understand without the subtitles. The video I have chosen as a sample is 'Talking and Squaking with Einstein and Stephanie White'.
