You can download the extension using Google Chrome on desktop, and it’s also compatible with laptop computers running on Windows and MacOS. Obviously, you need an active Netflix subscription in order for the feature to work.
Once downloaded, the extension allows you to watch movies and shows on the platform with two sets of subtitles: one in the language you’re trying to learn and one in your native tongue. The tool currently includes 17 languages.
You’re able to listen to each phrase at your own pace and change the playback speed as needed. "By comparing the translation with the original audio and text, you can learn a lot in a short amount of time," a tutorial for the tool explains.
A pop-up dictionary lets you look at similar words and highlights the ones that are most important for you to learn. Additionally, a "pro" version of the extension lets users save specific words and phrases.
