When learning a language we always really liked watching TV or movies in the language. It felt more natural than studying and we could also feel how much we were progressing. But one problem we had was that we would get overwhelmed or lose track of what was happening. To fix that, we built a chrome extension that turns any video into a game that helps keep your attention. The idea is to create something like the interactive questions in kids’ shows like Dora the Explorer or the quick time events in video games. While you’re watching, the video will pause and an exercise will pop up based on what you just heard. The exercises will test your comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, or speaking. Once you complete it, it will tell you how you did and whether it was correct. You then continue watching, and the process will repeat. It also has other features like dual subtitles, hover to translate, and achievements. For some languages there’s also grammatical tags for words (noun, verb, etc.) as well as conjugation tables, which is really helpful for understanding why a certain word is used. It also currently works with YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and Rakuten Viki. Check out Sabi on the Chrome Web Store and start your language learning journey today!
