I have not seen any references to this site outside 2 of my own posts so I assume it is not well known. I found it
about a year ago when searching for resources on Québec french which can be hard to find. Until this morning I
never thought to explore the site to see what other language resources it contained. To summarize, it contains
a series of 40 video lessons in 17 languages - all with the same theme across languages.
It can be difficult to navigate the site if you don't read Japanese but with the help of google translate I
discovered this list of languages:
German
French + Québec French
Spanish
Portuguese
Russian
Chinese
Korean
Mongolian
Indonesian
Filipino
Laotian
Vietnamese
Cambodian
Thai
Arabic
Turkish
Japanese
Clearly the site is best suited to someone who knows Japanese and is learning one of the above languages but I
believe it is useful to anyone studying one of these languages - I found it to be.
Here is the link:
TUFS
The one part of the site that can be switched to English is the list of video titles - just press 'EN' after selecting a
language. The languages are listed in the left column of the home page in the order above.
There may be other hidden sets of videos as well like the way the Québec series is listed on the page under
'French'.
Here is a direct link to that series for anyone interested:

What an awesome website.
I first found this website in another thread in this forum (here), but thanks to you I now did realize how awesome the rest of the site is, as well. Thank you!
A really good website for listening comprehension, though you get the translation of the conversation only in Japanese.

You can always go to pattern 3, select the target language, select all the text and copy it into Google translate to
get a transcription in another language.
