This is an interesting site that searches through video clips to fin phrases and then plays them through for you. It's been designed as a form of course with phrases gradually getting more complex, but you can also type in a phrase and search to get results.

In the past three years, co-creating projects of this caliber with Nathan, Rosana and other amazing educators; as well as working with ELLs with whom I started building strong bonds; nurtured the seed that was planted in the writing class. We were unknowingly becoming part of our ELLs’ stories of finding their identity and voices in English. The opportunities they were having to connect with the language were having a direct impact on them not just as learners but as human beings. ELL Stories were being lived and experienced right before us, waiting to be told.
Nik Peachey's insight:
This site is still a bit thin on content but looks like a marvelous idea especially for TESOL students.
