Watching these videos in English
Many of these recordings were made for audiences in Brazil and Latin America, so the spoken language is Portuguese or Spanish. On most of them, YouTube can display auto-translated English subtitles; turn them on inside the player:
Videos marked English need no subtitles. Auto-translation depends on the video having captions and its quality varies, so treat it as a helpful aid rather than a perfect transcript.
