What video courses for learning English do you recommend?

Warm greetings to all. I am now in Asia, I entered an English school, the teacher is a native speaker - an American, although he does not speak Russian, I like everything, but only lessons are only 2 times a week, but for a whole year. I want to study the language at the same time at home. Recommend good videos please. Now I have very basic knowledge, I studied it at one time, the pronunciation is more or less set, I understand quite a bit. A friend recommended a Polyglot to start with, is it worth it? Or is it better to look for video courses taught by a native speaker? In addition to everything else, every day in everyday life I communicate, or rather, I try to communicate, while it’s rather weak, really.

Polyglot, book English grammar with a human face and an annual subscription to LinguaLeo.
These are generally the most frequent tips and the most effective elements of self-development in the field of self-study of English.
I’ll also add the Rosseta Stone program, well, in terms of functionality, consider it an offline version of LinguaLeo.
All of the above with the exception of LinguaLeo on well-known torrent trackers, God bless the rutracker and nnm club.

There is a course "English for you" 3 level. Beginner to Intermediate. The lessons are in English, but everything is understood. They explain everything perfectly. You will really understand how and why.
And in order to improve the spoken language, which will be necessary in everyday life, you need to read and listen to Hot English Magazine:

This site helped me a lot at one time: www.engvid.com
Native speakers record videos from 5 to 15 minutes on various topics (grammar, vocabulary, speaking, and much more) for different levels of language proficiency. Everything is explained quite simply, the pronunciation is clear, there are many different videos and media. Choose what you like and watch! At the end of the videos, you can take a short test on the topic :) Good luck!

At one time (it was still on a black-and-white TV set) I learned from these, now I speak as if it were my own.

Polyglot - worth it. Great course. I studied English at school, taught at the university... And I started talking only after watching this course. I'm not sure of any specific ones yet. I have several books to prepare for toefl (I don’t plan to take it, but I think it’s a program) as I study on YouTube, I watch videos on the topic from different teachers - this is better understood.

Plus one for the Polyglot - an excellent course, I also liked Dragunkin's course, although it is completely for beginners, but it lays out the logic of the language.

I do not recommend the video course. But if it’s completely from scratch, I recommend an audio course on the Pimsleur method . - Easy to google. For example, for the basics of Spanish, a couple of months in the player was enough for me before a big trip. And in the end, it helped a lot to build a practice around the basics.
From training systems - now there is a wonderful https://www.duolingo.com/
And if you still need a video, I remember the series [email protected] https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/[email protected] - it can be useful for colloquial phrases. But he's really British English.

Polyglot is good. Very good. Rosetta Stone was not liked, as was Dragunkin. I liked this channel https://www.youtube.com/user/krutopridumal
In general, Polyglot and this channel. I think the best. Well, films in English. Although the Polyglot does not recommend watching with English subtitles, at first, even knowing what they are talking about, having watched a film with dubbing before that, I still watch it several times with subtitles before watching without any crutches completely in English. I do this because you don’t initially perceive some words by ear, and after you listen to how they pronounce them, reading them along the way, it becomes easier.

Video courses on theory and a huge number of films, series and videos in English with any accent can be found here puzzle-english.com . I myself have been using it for a long time and by ear I began to perceive English speech much better.

I advise you to pay attention to Duolingo , I liked it much more than LinguaLeo. Although both are worth a look.

I highly recommend watching the news and other programs with fluent speech. Before moving to Australia, while working in Moscow, I spoke every day for about an hour or two with colleagues from London, and I understood them perfectly. When I moved to Australia, the first few months I had difficulty understanding speech - so accent and pronunciation are very important - watch the news from the country of interest.

HugoSite - Visual learning of American English. The author on the video pronounces all his actions, over the video there is a subtitle track. The complexity of the materials is gradually increasing.

The PlayPhrase.me service is intended for learning foreign languages ​​with the help of series. You search for a word and, at your request, a video sequence is created from excerpts from TV shows and films that contains your word or phrase (use double quotes).

LinguaLeo really helps
at school, they told me that I'm mediocre,
but I took it and learned it in 10 thousand words using this site))
there you just need to do a lot of exercises (spelling, etc.) I
also studied grammar, I don’t remember which one
I have one friend who learned English almost from scratch in a month))

Polyglot and, of course, films and serials. First with subtitles in English (this is important!), And then without them at all. I look here: tap2eng.ru

There are many things on Youtube, for example:

https://www.youtube.com/user/rachelsenglish
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz4tgANd4yy8Oe0iX. ..
I advise you to watch different teachers, different courses, etc. In life, you will meet people who will speak with different accents and speech defects, but I generally keep quiet about style.
To get used to speech, I advise you to find yourself an Internet radio and listen to it.
