I just discovered this. It looks like a pretty useful resource for anyone who needs access to subtitled/spoken European languages at a reasonably high level.

Thanks, LLF! Excellent website with videos of the European Parlament spoken in foreign languages with the possibility to choose subtitles in any of the EU languages.

Do you know if there's a way of finding videos in a particular language? Apart from the News in French which started up when I first clicked on the link, the audio in every video I've looked at so far is in English.

There are other videos spoken in French, I have found more. I expect that the languages spoken in these videos are English or French.

I find the multilingual subtitles very helpful and interesting!

There are other languages: One video is spoken in Italian.

It's possible to select the language of the subtitles via the language buttons at the bottom of the image, but I can't see how to explicitly change audio. I'd be surprised if all the languages of the EU weren't available, though. If not, I want my money back.

It looks as if there's no possibility to change the language of the audios, only the language of the subtitles can be chosen.

I think you're right. That's a pity, though it's still very useful.

BTW, I have no problem understanding any of the videos I've watched; are they using some kind of simplified Euro-business language, rather than fully colloquial language ? Usually when I watch French TV news, for example, my listening comprehension is much less than with these Europarl videos.
