Known words

Know if a video is right for you before you press play

Lists tell you whether a video has few, some or many new words for you, based on your level and the words you've marked. The player shows the share you probably know, and it rises as you learn.

Word-by-word sync

Every word lights up as it's spoken

Subtitles are aligned to the audio word by word, not just line by line, so your eyes always know where the sound is. Press play to hear it.

今日きょうは天気てんきがいいので一緒いっしょにハイキングに行いきましょう。The weather is nice today, so let's go hiking together.

今日きょうは名古屋なごやで一番いちばん高たかい山やまに行いきます。Today we're going to the highest mountain in Nagoya.

まあ一番いちばん高たかいと言いっても200メートルぐらいの可愛かわいい山やまです。Well, even though I say the highest, it's a cute little mountain about 200 meters.

可愛かわいい山やまでしょ。It's a cute mountain, right?

皆みなさんあの山やまに行いきますよ。Everyone, we're going to that mountain.

There are electric blue ponds in the middle of the Utah desert.

Put the ash in a pot and add water.

Put it in a pan and let the water evaporate in the sun.

What they do at that mine is they pump water from the Colorado River deep underground.

Then they get forced back up to the surface, where that brine solution is pumped into these ponds.

Subtitles and translations

Subtitles you can actually learn from

Built-in captions skip punctuation and cut sentences in half, and most language tools simply show them as they are. In LingoDew you get whole sentences, every word timed to the audio, and a natural translation under each line.

  • Complete sentences with punctuation
  • Every word timed to the audio, not just every line
