I was wondering if anyone know of any sites were you can access videos intended to
support students and/or adults with education, in topics like Geography, History, Social Sciences and other Humanities, in any language. I have seen a number of online university-level video lecture series in Spanish, from a university in Puerto Rico I think, although I don't remember on which site. These could be really good language resources for intermediate/advanced students, and you might learn about something new also.

The best place to start is the OpenCourseWare Consortium homepage, which links to most of the universities offering free course materials. Some of these include video lectures etc.
You should also have a look at iTunesU -- university materials on iTunes. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Probably not what exactly you're looking for, but may be useful to others:
Videos teaching Chinese in Spanish Videos teaching Chinese in Korean Videos teaching Korean in Chinese Videos teaching Korean in Japanese This probably doesn't count, but: A crapload of videos teaching extremely complicated science and engineering in heavily-accented Indian English Edited by nway on 25 May 2011 at 10:17am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

Thanks for the links. I was aware of OCW, iTunes U and NPTEL (incredible resource for
engineering, the accents vary but you get used to it). I was looking for resources in languages other than English, sorry, I should have made that clear. And in particular, materials intended for native speakers, teaching humanities. There are many government sites around the world putting up materials to help schoolchildren, I suppose it's just a matter of time until some start to include substantial video content. I attended lectures for a while at a university in France (Geography, History, Philosophy.. 'culture 'g'') when my French was already not bad, it was really helpful, probably moreso even than many French language classes for advanced students.

You may have already done this, but just in case you haven't, have you tried changing
your iTunes account to French (at the bottom of the screen there's a link for changing countries)and then looking at what's available on iTunes University? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Related to the OP's question, does anyone know of a website where I could find documentaries, preferably science
ones, in foreign languages? Japanese or French preferably but anything is good. Netflix has a frustratingly small selection. 1 person has voted this message useful |
