Rick Steves is a professional guidebook author and television presenter. He's very knowledgeable about Europe, so you can trust his videos. We watched his "Christiania" video in class this week (or for Tuesday and Wednesday classes - we will watch it!) He has videos on almost every city in Europe. Some of them have good English captions, but some of them say "automatic captions." If it says "automatic captions" it is probably not correct, so be careful! Look for captions that just say "English."Remember, you can watch a video just to look at the attraction or city so that you can describe what it looks like or see what people do there. Of course you can also pause the video to get facts from it.
If you watch a video make sure to copy and paste the web address into your Works Cited! Rick Steves has short video clips about attractions, but he also has half hour long shows about whole cities, regions or countries!
Here are some Rick Steves' Europe video clips!
Here's a video about some of Vienna's famous food with good subtitles. I am SO HUNGRY after watching it!!!!!!
Here's a whole episode about Paris!
A video with good captions about Rome's Colosseum!
Finally, if you want to rewatch it - the video about Christiania and another about Copenhagen! If you haven't chosen a city, yet, also consider Copenhagen! It's a very interesting place!
I hope you've enjoyed seeing some videos by one of my favorite TV personalities and authors, Rick Steves! If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to leave them below! :)

ReplyDeleteDid you watch some videos in French and German? Interesting! Yes, I really like Rick Steves. He is an entrepreneur with a large business, and he is also a philanthropist (someone who gives money to poor people). He helped to build a homeless shelter in his town!

ReplyDeleteI hope you will get the chance to travel everywhere that you want!
DeleteThe video is interesting! I went to Europe this summer. I went to London, Paris, Spain( Granada, Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla), Italy(Rome, Firenze, Venezia). It's really impression and I had a good experience. When I was in Paris, under the Eiffel Tower, I met street dancers. They danced very funny and many people enjoy the performance. That time, they survey people's various nation and of course tell the Korean raise a hand. Sister and me hands up quickly!!! Suddenly, they took our on the stage and suggest dance together with "Gangnam style". we were very confusion but start dance together. It was never tobe forgotten event.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really cool and fun! I'm glad that you were brave and danced with them!
DeleteOriginally, I'm very shy but that time I don't understand about my courage. I reflect on the event, various native people gave cheers to me.
DeleteKim Yeo Jin! I'm so sorry but I made a crazy mistake and I made an appointment with you at a time I'm in class (tomorrow/Thurs 1145)! I don't know how I made that mistake! Please check your naver e-mail and I sent you a message about rescheduling. I'm very sorry! Sincerely, Jennifer
DeleteIn christiania, many people look happy. This place looks warm and peaceful. If I go there , maybe I walk there during breathe. Many people build own building. How did they build own building well? Their major were architecture?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how they built the building well - maybe some of them are architects! My brother wants to study cob-building. Cob-building is a special kind of traditional building using mud and straw. It doesn't sound impressive, but actually you can build really nice houses with that method.
DeleteAfter waching these video, I really want to take a trip. I want to go abroad on this winter vacation. I am wondering where my first trip abroad!
ReplyDeleteI want to go abroad too! I particularly want to go to Europe - Paris, Vienna, Munich, and Salzburg are my top choices. Which city is your top choice?
DeleteI should add this coloseum video's information to my presentation. Thank you. In this video, the coloseum is too huge.
ReplyDeleteIt really does look huge, doesn't it? I never wanted to visit Rome before, but after reading students' essays about Rome, I am much more curious!
DeleteWow, I used this video in my presentation and I recommend it to my partner. It is very helpful to me.
ReplyDeleteThat's so great! :)
Deletethis video very useful. I really hope I'll travel to Europe some day.
