YouTube with dual subtitles for language learning

Watch YouTube on your phone with two subtitle tracks at once. Tap any word to translate it, loop a sentence, and save the words you want to keep.

Lingible App

How it works

Paste any YouTube link into the app, or pick from a catalog of 1,200+ videos sorted by language and level. The original subtitles run next to a translation, so you hear the language and can check the meaning without stopping to look it up.

  • Tap any word in the transcript for its translation and pronunciation, and save it to your vocabulary.
  • Loop a sentence until you can hear every word, and slow the video down when the speaker is too fast.
  • Shadow the speaker: repeat a line out loud to train your pronunciation.
  • Review with the clip. A saved word keeps the moment of the video where you heard it.
  • AI subtitles for videos that have no captions.

The catalog covers English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Turkish and Dutch.

Why an app and not a browser extension

It works on your phone. Browser extensions such as Language Reactor are built for desktop browsers, so they stay on your laptop. Lingible is an iPhone and Android app, so a video fits into a commute or a coffee break.

Words carry over to practice. Words saved from a video land in the same vocabulary as words from your books, and you train them in one place.

Books are in the same app. The same tap-to-translate works across 67,000+ free books, so reading and listening feed each other.

One honest limit: Lingible works with YouTube only. Netflix is not supported.
