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