Does anyone here on italki use Ted Talks for learning English? To learn Chinese I've been watching 《罗辑思维》and have found that it helps my listening comprehension a lot. Are there any other video lecture series that you have used for learning either English or Chinese?
I've watched TED for two month and found it very useful. I can pick up theme related for my interests. Clips are short like an optimal quant of information that your brain could easily digest.

我在中国的社交网站上看到有不少人指出《逻辑思维》这个节目在历史、技术、科学和逻辑方面犯的一些低级错误。这个节目在专业人士那里的得分是比较低的。如果想借由这个节目了解中国,那可能不是个好选择。想通过汉语节目学中文的话我推荐《非诚勿扰》。这个节目很生活化。不过我想你可能已经知道这个节目了吧。
Ted Talk is very good for studying English. i also use slideshare as we!
Scientific American 60-sencond science
I use some Podcasts to learn English, which are:
Planet Money,
Intelligence Debates,
60-Second Science,
Alt.Latino.
