So, let´s imagine that lately you ‘ve been having some problems with understanding listening comprehension and all of a sudden ,you realize it’s May and you’re taking your listening test in about a week or so. In that case, there are so many good websites I would recommend that I could keep you busy for the whole year. Today ,let me show you something that I bumped into quite by chance.
It’s a place where you can find subtitled videos and what’s more, you can even request for some videos to be subtitled too. This place is called SubPLY .
As we are learning about food and cooking I tried searching the site by writing the word “food” and I found quite some interesting videos where you can revise vocab.
Why don’t you try it and let me know what you think? Now, click on the image and it’ll link you to their website and ,from then on, you can do your own search.

Cristina,
It’s good to see other people talking about the use of captions/subtitles as a tool to learn English. I’m a big fan of subply.com and I was using yappr.com when it was free. They charge now ( http://en.yappr.com/users/Signup!input.action ) I think you wrote about yappr. I actually heard about the two sites while using a search engine called 22frames.com. It finds caption/subtitle videos on the Internet. You might want to share it with your group. Read more here ( http://www.22frames.com/aboutus.aspx ).
Right now, I am alpha testing their alerts feature. It’s nice because I don’t like to waste time finding new videos. Look here ( http://www.22frames.com/alerts.aspx ).
The yappr link I was trying to post includes the !input.action text. The whole thing within the parentheses needs to be copied - I gues the ‘!’ screwed things up.
