👋 Intro As a serial startup founder and someone who has been learning English for 20 years, I'm aware of the difficulties of regularly practicing a new language. Approximately 760 million English First Language speakers like me are motivated to learn the language, but not motivated enough to change our habits and practice it regularly. One of the reasons for the difficulty with regular practice is that it's challenging for an adult city dweller to embed a new activity or habit, in our case, learning a language, into the established mode of life. 📺 Watching videos to learn English After much experimentation, I found that incorporating my English learning into my daily routine was possible by watching videos in English. This allowed me to enjoy my spare time while improving my language skills. However, if you're not fluent in the target language, stopping to check unfamiliar words ruins the pleasure of watching, and we are first and foremost watching, and then learning. Not checking unfamiliar words also means missing context, often important context. 🔍 Existing solutions Upon reviewing the existing solutions, I found that most language platforms or advanced competitors were too complicated to use, which meant that the desire to use them quickly came to naught. 💡 Our Solution Our goal is to create a complete solution that simplifies the discovery of unknown words in videos and makes it easy to learn them later, with unobtrusive help and hints from AI based on statistics. 👉 What we have so far: Google Chrome extension that works on YouTube, Netflix, Coursera (with more platforms to come) * Instant word translation on hover or click, including context * Automatic saving of viewed words with context into your personal vocabulary * Personal account with viewed/saved words and statistics * Mobile apps for memorizing words * Weekly digest of frequent words * Free and premium plans 📝 What is in the plans: * Automatic detection of phrasal verbs and other strong expressions * Support of Safari, desktop and mobile versions * Coverage of major streaming and educational platforms * Editing of saved words/phrases in the personal account * Different modes of playing captions and showing translations 🙏 The ask. And give :) We would love to hear your thoughts, questions, and feedback, so we can continue to improve the product. We appreciate constructive criticism, but please don't throw tomatoes at us just yet! As a token of our appreciation, we're offering 2 weeks of full access for those of our PH users who activate the code: PH2WEEKS. Or follow this link: https://app.intersub.cc/en/check.... P.S. Huge thanks to @kevin for hunting us today. We greatly appreciate your support! 🤩

As a maker, I'm proud to announce the launch of another edutainment project - InterSub which helps people elevate their language learning while watching videos. It was a long journey with lots of UX and technical experiments, and I love the final product. However, we're constantly looking for your feedback and for improvement ideas for further development inspirations. Feel free to share it in your comments. Also, check the Kirill's intro post for more details and for a special offer for PH users.

Looks very intriguing! Wondering what age this will be most appropriate for as a teaching solution. Can my 7-year benefit from it?

@new_user_121572d59e Emin, we think InterSub would be beneficial for those who have at lease B1 language level. Because there are too many unknown words for low levels, and the process of checking them will negate the fun of watching the video.

@new_user__054202380935e7a6684a8f1 Thank you, Mark! Hebrew is supported, actually :) We definitely need a page with the list of all supported languages/dictionaries. Now there are about 100 of them connected. We wrote about just English and Spanish because they are the most popular

@mujaji Wow, this is unexpectable! I'll try it for sure! But it's really better to do the list of supported languages because now it's not clear.

I have been planning to build something similar like this but for articles. Few ideas to share: 1. Build this for news and other articles too if no legal issue or support only allowed sites. 2. Create a flashcard system. Notify users to review words and context. 3. In the context highlight memorized words green, lesser known words yellow and red for words that user should know but might not based on his level. 4. Let them/ provide a set of goals for number of words to learn in a given timeframe. 5. Might use a leaderboard.

@shakur_shams_mullick Hey Shakur, thanks for your feedback! 2. Flashcards and different ways of memorizing words we see coming from connected mobile apps. We have one and working on bringing more. We also have a weekly digest with most checked words to remind to learn them first :) 1. We are thinking about extending the service to texts on any (or allowed) sites as the next step. This really sounds like an obvious thing :) As about the rest - for now we've decided not to overload users with gaming/play mechanics to make ours simple

@mujaji Are you planning to add support for French and Arabic? For me priority would be support for articles and French language. just FYI: reverso shows not only word meaning but also related grammar and etc. Maybe down the line something similar to that could be added too. best of luck.

@shakur_shams_mullick French and Arabic are supported. I think we should make a page with a whole list of supported languages :) There are now about a hundred dictionaries connected
