FluentU
Learn a language online with authentic videos
FluentU is a language learning platform that uses authentic video content—such as movies, TV shows, and YouTube clips—to help users acquire new languages through immersive, context-rich exposure. It features interactive subtitles that let learners click on words for definitions and example sentences, and integrates with Netflix and YouTube via a Chrome extension. A built-in spaced-repetition learning engine reinforces vocabulary, and the platform supports multiple languages with dedicated iOS and Android apps.
Users watch authentic video content with interactive subtitles, click on words to learn them in context, and review vocabulary using a built-in adaptive learning engine; a Chrome extension extends this to Netflix and YouTube.
