How it works
Step 1
Watch what interests you
Focus on content that makes sense without understanding every word or grammar rule. That's comprehensible input.
Step 2
Translate words and phrases
When something doesn't make sense, translate it, get unstuck, and keep going.
Step 3
Build vocabulary and grammar
Words you translate and grammar patterns you discover become learning material you can build over time.
Step 4
Review what you learn
Make vocabulary and grammar stick with bite-sized challenges at just the right time.
Step 5
Track your progress
Your input, translations, and reviews help guide what to watch next.

The learning journey
Level 1
First contact
Get used to the sounds of the language and start building a small set of common words you see again and again in captions.
Speech can sound like one long stream. You may feel tired quickly. A few words start to stand out, but you are not sure what they mean every time.
Choose simple, highly visual videos with lots of repetition. Look up words you notice several times. Skip words that appear only once.
Level 2
Early patterns
Grow everyday vocabulary and the small connecting words that help sentences make sense. Keep understanding the main idea as your top goal.
You can follow simple stories more often. Missing a few small words can still make a sentence confusing.
Watch familiar topics and series. Look up words and short phrases that show up across many videos, not just in one scene.
Level 3
Guided comprehension
Expand vocabulary by topic while strengthening the most common verbs and everyday phrases. Start noticing that the same word can mean different things in different situations.
You often almost understand, but one key word blocks the message. Sometimes you know a word but the meaning feels different than expected.
When you feel stuck, go easier. Look up the few repeated words that keep blocking you, and pay attention to how the meaning changes with context.
Level 4
Everyday understanding
Make understanding more automatic and keep widening your everyday vocabulary. Start getting comfortable with casual speech and common everyday expressions.
You can understand a patient native speaker on daily topics. Fast group speech and slang can still be hard, even when you know many words.
Add more speakers and settings while staying mostly comfortable. Track slang and phrases that repeat. Do not chase rare or technical words yet.
Level 5
Comfortable listening
Understand normal-speed content across many topics. Vocabulary growth becomes more personal, based on what you watch and enjoy.
Everyday content feels clear. What stays hard is heavy slang, new subject areas, or fast overlapping dialogue.
Spend most of your time with content you love. Look up and track words that keep coming back in your favorite genres, then rewatch so they become familiar.
Level 6
Across contexts
Get comfortable across accents, genres, and styles. Learn more regional words and more abstract language, and get better at understanding cultural references.
Most content is understandable, but some speakers or styles still feel unusually difficult because of slang, speed, or references you do not know.
Rotate new genres and accents on purpose. When a topic keeps coming up, learn the repeated words for that topic. Ignore one-off rare terms.
Level 7
Practically fluent
Use the language well in real life. Vocabulary work becomes about precision, tone, and deeper understanding of the words you already know.
Almost everything is accessible. Strong accents, dense slang, fast overlapping dialogue, and niche topics can still be challenging.
Keep input as part of your lifestyle. Use lookups to fine-tune meaning and usage when a familiar word behaves differently in a new situation.
