Hi

I need to practice listening Spanish. I have a job that I go to 12 hours a week and it's
a lightly clerical work. I listen to music most of the times but I was wondering if there
are any youtube videos that I can listen to (can't view them, only listen) so that I can
improve my Spanish listening? Beginner Japanese is also fine.

Thanks!

If you have an MP3 player you might want to try content from LingQ.com, since they have audio podcasts and transcripts. I don't know if that's what you want or not.

ETA: Now that I've thought about it for more than 2 minutes, here's a list.

The five largest Spanish TV stations in the US, in order.

1) Univision
http://www.youtube.com/user/univision
over 7,000 videos

2)Telemundo
http://www.youtube.com/user/telemundoatlanta
Over 400 videos, Telemundo of Atlanta (local news)

3) Telefutura – a subsidiary of Univision, it seems. Search for their videos yourself. Type the station plus a keyword like noticias or telenovela.

4) Azteca America

http://www.youtube.com/user/AzAmerica
Over 3,000 videos. Also:

http://www.youtube.com/user/tvazteca
Over 1,100 videos.

http://www.youtube.com/user/tvaztecadeportes
Almost 2,000 videos.

http://www.youtube.com/user/aztecaespectaculos
Almost 100 videos.

http://www.youtube.com/user/CocinadeYolo
Cooking show, almost 500 videos.

http://www.youtube.com/user/AztecaNoticiasTv
About 200 videos.

http://www.youtube.com/user/Proyecto40TV
Un canal para activar tu mente, over 350 videos, apparently documentaries & other thinky stuff.

5) Estrella
No links, search for their videos yourself.

Also:
http://www.youtube.com/user/USLSTV11
330 videos. Looks like a telenovela someone uploaded, from RCN Television of Colombia.

http://www.youtube.com/user/VIVELOHOY
Spanish newspaper from Chicago, 159 videos.

http://www.youtube.com/user/ActualidadRT
Russia Today en espanol. Over 6,000 videos.

That should keep you busy for awhile.

I have been watching a few telenovelas on the Univision channel on youtube.. They might
get pretty boring at times.. but they have helped me improve my listening and speaking
skills a LOT.
