This Chrome extension lets you learn a new language by watching Netflix

  1. Learning a new language through immersion doesn’t mean you have to pack your bags and
  2. move to Europe for three months. Now, you just need to turn __ Netflix. Language Learning with
  3. Netflix is a Chrome extension that lets you watch shows with two subtitles on __ the same time
  4. so you can visually pair translations with dialogue and learn some new vocabulary in the process.
  5. Its a clever service that makes use of Netflix’s massive catalogue and all of the major languages
  6. in which it already offers subtitles, including Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian,
  7. Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.
  8. The extension was created by developers David Wilkinson and Ognjen Apic who experimented
  9. with making their own language learning software before collaborating on Language Learning with
  10. Netflix. “For some languages (Farsi, for example), there’s only a limited amount of learning
  11. materials available”, Wilkinson said in an email. “I think a lot of people would enjoy studying a
  12. language with material they are already familiar with”.
  13. The tool works best as a supplement for people who already have some basic understanding
  14. of the language they’re learning. There’s a vocabulary-highlighting feature that greys out less
  15. common words, which is adjustable to match your vocabulary level. Hovering over a word
  16. produces a pop-up dictionary, and clicking the word lets you hear it. You can also slow down the
  17. dialogue or automatically pause playback at the end of every subtitle, so you can learn line by
  18. line. There’s even a catalogue of recommendations for movies and shows that are good to study.
  19. The Chrome extension is free to use, but Wilkinson and Apic’s product is expected to have
  20. more features, like additional subtitles __ dubbed dialogue, which would only be available for paid
  21. users. “Netflix has alternative audio tracks for many well-known series, but the subtitles in other
  22. languages don’t match the audio”, Wilkinson said. “We’re considering creating new subtitles for
  23. these alternative audio tracks, so you could study German, for example, with Breaking Bad with
  24. matching German audio and subtitles”.
  25. One of the few downsides is that the tool only works on Google Chrome, so you can’t use it
  26. with your Netflix app on tablets or streaming services like Roku or Apple TV. Hopefully, the service
  27. can make it’s way beyond browsers soon because it’s obvious that the potential __ language
  28. learning through media is huge. Viki, a streaming service for Asian dramas, implemented a “Learn
  29. Mode” in 2017 that essentially does the same thing by showing two subtitles at once. The
  30. developers say they haven’t contacted Netflix yet, but “the project could likely go faster and
  31. further with their support”.
