When Hulu, yet another online video site, started a few months ago, it said it would not be a copycat of YouTube, which just about every other teenager girl and her nerdy cousin had uploaded an amateur video about, like, whatever.
Hulu aims to play in the professional league, sort of NBA vs. Youtube of high school tournament. It finally opened to the public this week with a big splash. The site is sleek, with the TV shows and movies–some are clips, some full-length–released by several TV networks and movie studios. In a word, they are professionals.
It’s too early to tell whether Hulu will have a great season. But given the quality and variety of the materials at its site, we bet that the English learners, especially those in advanced level, will come out as the winners. All are free to view. Pick the ones you like (we love Family Guy), watch them often, and have some fun.
That’s how the learning is supposed to be done.
