English Language Project is a collection of hundreds of very short videos to supplement the language learning efforts of people around the globe. Most videos are a minute or less and are grouped by topic, with each video covering a vocabulary term connected to that topic. Each video also has a subtitled partner, as we believe many will want first to practice listening while they read the subtitles, before moving to the versions without subtitles to develop their ear for the terms and sentences.
