Did you know there's a chrome extension app that really makes watching Netflix a language learning exercise?
Yes! Now you can really say, "I'm learning English" when someone asks you why you are watching so much TV! Learning Languages with Netflix (LLN), is an extension app that allows you to engage (v. participate, or become involved) with the language while watching Netflix content.
You can use LLN as a tool to improve your language with the following features:
#1 Subtitles
Watch tv shows or movies with two subtitles; one in the original language and the other in your target language. This is good for comparing and picking up on (phrasal verb; to understand something) the meaning of words.
You can also listen to subtitles one at a time or line by line, which is great if you want to hear a sentence again. This will make it much easier for you to follow conversations and pause when you need more time to understand what is happening.
#2 Dictionary
There is a built-in (adj. included inside) dictionary that provides easy access when you want to see the translation or meaning of a specific word.
#3 Pro Features (paid)
There are paid features as well, which include:
an option to save phrases so that you can focus on them later
choose auto-translation or human translation
human translation is great for learning idioms and phrasal verbs which cannot be translated by a machine (auto-translation).
LLN currently works with 17 different languages including English, Serbian, Korean, Russian, Spanish....and several more of course!
