NLTK is something I've been interested for a fair while, but I have been so far unaware of an efficient way to become (relatively) acquainted with NLTK.

I have done some preliminary research, which has resulted in my awareness of two online courses: statistics.com/nlp-using-nltk/

statistics.com/nlp-using-nltk/

and this ebook: nltk.org/book/ch00.html

I would appreciate a reccomendation of an online tutorial or course, preferably in video format, that would be a good tool for me to use. If you have used one of the things that I linked to, please give me your impressions, if possible.

    Questions asking us to recommend or find a book, tool, software library, tutorial or other off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it – kylieCatt Nov 25 '14 at 05:55

I strongly recommend working your way through the NLTK book, chapter by chapter. That's by far the best way to learn how to use NLTK, and it doesn't require much Python knowledge to get started.

Earlier this year, I put together a very basic introduction to NLTK that some people have found useful: A Smattering of NLP in Python.

I'm not aware of any good video tutorials for NLTK.
