Galicia's public broadcaster — television and radio in Galician.
About this tool →TVG and Radio Galega stream news, drama and talk entirely in Galician, with an on-demand archive. Broadcast Galician follows the standard the Academy sets; the Galician spoken in a village will have more Castilian in it and more local variation.
A daily newspaper written entirely in Galician.
About this tool →Most Galician press publishes in Spanish; this one does not. That makes it the main source of daily journalistic Galician, and there is no parallel Spanish edition to fall back on.
Street interviews with dual subtitles, produced in dozens of languages.
About this tool →A franchise of local producers filming unscripted street interviews, each episode subtitled in the target language and English, which is the closest free thing to hearing how people genuinely speak. All YouTube episodes are free; membership adds transcripts, vocabulary lists and exercises. Real-speed unscripted speech is hard early on — start with the slower 'Super Easy' episodes if you are below B1.
Licensed TV shows with interactive subtitles in 15 languages.
About this tool →A streaming service where every show has clickable dual subtitles and saved words become flashcards, covering 15 languages with apps on phone, Roku and TV. It solves the 'what do I watch' problem for languages where Netflix's catalogue is thin. The library is much smaller than a mainstream streamer and it is subscription-only — if you already pay for Netflix, Language Reactor's free tier does most of the same job.
Free public-domain audiobooks in 40+ languages, read by volunteers.
About this tool →Thousands of public-domain books recorded by volunteers, downloadable as MP3 or M4B with no account. Pairing a LibriVox recording with the matching free Project Gutenberg text gives you a full audiobook-plus-ebook study set for nothing. Two caveats: recordings are volunteer-quality and vary a lot reader to reader, and everything is out of copyright, so the language is often a century old — great for literature, poor for modern slang.
