Stop passively scrolling and start purposefully learning. Define your "xx"—whether it is grammar, pronunciation, or business jargon. Apply the five quality criteria. Use active viewing techniques. And build a diverse playlist that challenges every skill.
Don't search "English video." Search "English video present perfect vs past simple" or "English video small talk for networking." The more specific, the better the results.
On YouTube, the comment section is a goldmine. Look for comments like "This helped me pass my exam" or "I finally understand." Avoid videos with disabled comments or excessive "likes" but low genuine engagement. Check the upload date—language evolves, so prioritize content from the last 2-3 years.
