Hello there! The video that follows is taken from 'Tales of Mere Existence' whose illustrator is Levni Yilmaz. It sums up the way I feel these days. I try to do my best to accomplish the tasks I mean to but cannot achieve in completing them all. Since ever time slips away but I find it happens quicker now. At least, I got Yilmez's funny way to play down this unquiet condition...
Of course I came across Yilmez's animations in Youtube.com. I knew youtube last year when I had been living in Spain and it has been an happy discovery. I visit it often searching for clips (among which those I put here on the right bar), as well as episodes of tv series (who didn't already tagged Family Guy in the tag tab?!) or simply videos related to topics I wonder about. When I have free time, -that's very rarely!- I go to How to&Style category because I can really learn something: have a look at this!
I often search for videos spoken in English or other foreign languages since I want to hear native speakers both to refresh my pronounciation and to get aware if my level has been improving or not. I really appreciate this e-tool because there are thousands of video - some of which very popular - which are allowed to be shawn in other e-resources. This way we can put a video on our blogs without being accused of plagiarism.
If you are searching videos from a particular country I suggest you to change language clicking on the globe icon on the upper right side of youtube home page.
It happened to me right tonight to watch a reportage on ItaliaUno on baby-girls who strip and upload the videos on youtube. Of course this is a bad usage of this e-tool. When something like this happens, that is when someone crosses the line, we can flag their video as inappropriate so that Youtube administrators will examine video contents. They will take the video down, if nedeed.
As students of foreign languages, we may translate and dub a video in English and later post it on youtube as a response to the former. For example we could take an episode in English of The Simpson translate it in Italian and dub it with our voices. We could then compare it with the official and well-known Italian version to see differences in translation. Hopefully other youtube members would start to responde to our video and we could have other opinions to consider. It would be funny and useful... What do you think about it?

Hi Zara!
The video is really nice...but a little bit sad, isn't it? Anyway I appreciated it a lot!It's wonderful that we can use these videos freely and insert them in our blogs!
Thank you for all your useful suggestions about YouTube! Moreover the idea of dubbing an episode of The Simpson is great, we could do it!!
See you tomorrow!
Hi Zara!
Your video is funny, but as also Giada said a bit sad... Don't worry! You have done a great job!!!
I agree with you about the fact that some videos should be forbidden!!!
YouTube is undoubtly an important tool to improve our english.
Thank you for your suggestions to best use it!!!
It should be funny to dub an episode of The Simpson with our voices!!!
See you soon!
Bye bye!

Hi Zara!
I found the video you put a little weird but at the same time extremely true.. some days, when I have a lot of things to do and I think I would not be able to finish any of them, I feel a little bit like the protagonist of this video! Anyway, I think it’s a good choice Zara!
As Giada and Letizia pointed out, in You Tube behind fun and interesting videos you can also find silly and horrible videos about girls who strip or teenagers who hit their peers..that’s really awful! By the way, I didn’t noticed that there was the possibility to flag the bad videos as inappropriate and the fact that you can change the language to see videos from different countries..so thank you very much for your suggestions!
The idea of dubbing episodes of the Simpsons would be great!
See you tomorrow!
sorry, it's "I didn't notice" and not "I didn't noticed"! ;-)
Hi Zara!
I watched the video "I have to get ready". No doubt, it makes you feel quite anxious but it's terribly true. This video describes perfectly my feeling of almost 5 days per week... What a sad thing!
I read through the You Tube page about "Do not crossing the line"... it's quite revealing. I think that if people read throgh those rules, there would be a better use of this tool. However, I think that also this opportunity to flag inappropriate videos is a good way in order to prevent people from uploading certain kinds of videos.
Bye!
Elena
