What's up! My name is María
And today I'm going to tell you about a free tool
that let's you learn languages on the internet.
This tool is called Language Learning with Netflix.
Basically, it's an extension of Google Chrome
that is going to help your comprehension of listening and learning languages using Netflix
When you get to the extension you're going to download it and then go to Netflix.
I really like this tool because it shows you
subtitles in two different languages
yours and the original language.
This allows you to compare the original audio of the show with the text and translation in your language.
Another thing, it's very easy to toggle with and turn off.
If you don't want to use it to learn languages anymore and just want to watch your movie or show
just turn it off and there you go.
This extension let's you listen to each sentence part by part
You can repeat it, go to the next sentence, or go back to the last sentence
and listen to it over and over again.
Something that seemed interesting to me is that
you can move your cursor
over the word and find the definition
or the translation of the word.
And if you click the word
you can listen to how it's supposed to be pronounced
and it will give you a little fuller definition
The only thing I don't like about this part is that the audio, or the way the words are pronounced
is a little...robotic, or exaggerated.
It sounds weird, but it is what it is.
The other thing is that the word's translation
when you click it
it can be an automatic translation
but it can also be a translation made by a human.
So it depends on the context on whether it works or not
Another cool thing is that here you can look in the catalog
where you can find
well, where you can look up the language that you're studying
that you want to learn,
Additionally you can select your country
and this catalog will show you
a list of all the Netflix series in that language
or for your country.
There is also a Youtube version
that is being worked on
the only thing it doesn't have in comparison
is the ability to adjust the speed.
But equally, you can change the speed when you are watching the video in Youtube.
Rather Youtube already has this control for the speed
so you adjust it directly there in Youtube and it's done.
So this extension is free
but like everything in life,
you have to pay for something, right?
In this case, the paid version
lets you access features
for example, in this paid version of the extension
you are going to be granted the ability to save words
to study them later
for when you forget them.
But it's a tool that seems cool to me
to recommend to you if you are learning Spanish
or any other language.
It's a tool that has just begun to develop
over a short amount of time
like what? Two months?
Yeah, something like that. So not for that long.
Because of that I'm sure more work will be put into it
and it will surely really get better in the future.
But for now, that's what there is.
So if you are interested in having this on your computer
we're leaving you the link in the description below.
No, this is not paid.
This isn't an advertisement.
We aren't getting money or anything like that to tell you this.
It's just something that we like a lot
and that we are starting to use here in the house.
I just thought well, it's good so it would be good to share with you.
Right?
And here we are
But talking seriously,
something I really like about this extension is the ability to listen to sentences
part by part
in a repetitive way.
This is useful for learning and listening
the pronunciation of the native Spanish speakers
and additionally learn Spanish in context.
If we're being honest, what good does a list of words do
if you don't have context?
I am always saying that
that the things we teach you in these videos..
You have to put it into context
because if not,
it's gone.
Do you know who makes something similar to this extension?
Us in our Spanish course uses.
Because as well as having audios from native Spanish speakers speaking casually
casually and spontaneously,
we also have short, separate sentences
and even more than that,
this Maria explains to you
step by step
what each word means
each group of words
how to use them and what they are for.
But seriously,
it's very cool
it's not because it's our own course
but we have clubs for conversation,
a club for movies, reading
Well, finally, here is where I almost always am.
So if you are interested in being part of the Spanish in use
give the link below a visit
or visit espanolenuso.com
and find the course there
and at the same time support us
If you want to support your favorite Youtubers ;)
Alright, that is all for today's video
Really, thanks for watching and dedicating a little of your time to watch this video.
See you in the next video, and remember,
if you're going to learn a language...
