Subtitles are much-maligned when it comes to language learning, but they can actually be an important part of the process of learning French.

These YouTube channels are perfect for learning new phrases, clarifying grammar concepts, and learning about French culture.

Wolof is spoken in Senegal, Gambia, and Mauritania. It is part of the Senegambian branch of the Niger-Congo language family, but unlike many of the Niger-Congo languages, it is not tonal. Although Wolof is the mother tongue of around 40 percent of Senegal’s population, it is the most widely spoken language in the country, as most Senegalese speak it as a second language.

With almost 80 million speakers, French is the fifteenth most widely spoken mother tongue in the world.
