### Hi, I'm Alan, the founder of FluentU!

I became obsessed with learning Chinese, Japanese, and Korean in 2001, and managed to get good enough to work professionally in those languages as a management consultant.  

I started FluentU to build a new kind of language app.

### Why do users call FluentU a “learning engine”?

Questions have images and video that you'll remember

Sentence-based questions that maximize exposure to words you kinda know

Builds you up, so you can build sentences on your own, like in language classes

Go from understanding to speaking in a natural progression

I really like learning with the videos. I have studied using other methods and it was very hard to put what you were learning into context. With the videos, not only are you learning new vocabulary, you are seeing how it is used. For example the tone which is used, the body language...

I really really like the fact that **the videos are real authentic videos**. It makes it much more interesting. Learning Chinese almost becomes an afterthought to the fact that you are watching cool videos.

###### Niel, Confused Laowai

While **many videos come with subtitles**, there was never an easy way to look up vocabulary words, or pause the video and make sure you really understood what was being said... that is until now. FluentU understands our pain, and **picks up the pieces where all those other sites fall short**.

###### Jacob Gill, iLearnMandarin

The quiz sections are the most successful I've seen to integrate spaced learning of vocab, and not be bored out of your mind. **The power of seeing an actor speak, hearing their pronunciation, and linking it to the Chinese character re-enforces learning.** It is challenging and makes you think about how the Chinese language works.

###### Keith Robinson

I love the videos that allow us to use our **listening skills**. The **real life conversations** force us to listen and try to understand the language coming at us. So very different, from knowing what to say then trying desperately to understand the reply!

###### Joycelynn Hoagland

FluentU is a great method to learn a foreign language. We **watch videos with subtitles** and at any time, we can stop the video if we don't understand a word or an expression. We **click on for additional explanations**. Then, we have a quiz to work the vocabulary.

###### Estelle Jaouen

**In only 4 months, I've gotten to a comfortable A2 level** in German thanks in large part to my practice on FluentU! I'm actually entertained by studying when I use it; **it doesn't feel like work!**

###### Megan Holloran

I like the fact that **it's very dynamic** and not grammar focused. Also, having **many videos to learn from** makes it even less boring. I like to just watch each video one time, pause at each sentence and try to remember words and sentences.

###### Eduard Marius

The best thing about FluentU is that **you have direct context for each new vocabulary that you learn.** Repeating the dialogues is the way I learn. Also, that you can bring in your own vocabulary list and that **the program searches for videos/material in which the words are included** is phenomenal!

###### Jan Rehmer

I've been studying French for many years and I have been starting to study Spanish in the last year. Since I started using Fluentu, **my language comprehension is developing** so quickly that I finally feel like fluency is within reach. The website **makes studying enjoyable** and it makes **progress tangible.**

**FluentU's core experience of learning a language with engaging video**, being able to identify, manipulate and decode every single word, and then review it all automatically with specially designed flashcards has been... **sensational.**

###### I'm a beginner. Is FluentU right for me?

Yes! FluentU has beginner courses with original content, as well as a curated library of authentic content that has been handpicked and edited, just for beginners. After you watch videos, our learning engine is designed to build you up so that you are able to produce full sentences, even if you are starting from scratch! On top of that, when you're ready to push yourself, start learning with any Netflix or YouTube video that has subtitles - FluentU's interactive subtitles will be with you the entire way.

###### How quickly will I learn with FluentU?

With FluentU, you'll notice a significant improvement in your listening comprehension and vocabulary after just a few videos. The key is to choose content that you genuinely enjoy, whether it's a YouTube video, Netflix show, or any other video with subtitles in the language you're learning. After watching and learning with a few hours of content, your confidence and understanding will greatly improve. As you immerse yourself in real-world content, your brain will naturally start picking up new words, phrases, slang, and grammar from the context of the videos. The more you watch, the faster you'll learn, and you'll find yourself becoming more confident in your language skills.

###### What languages can I learn with FluentU?

With FluentU, you can learn Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, German, Japanese, English, Italian, Russian, Korean, and Portuguese. For English, we provide versions tailored to Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Chinese, Italian, and Russian speakers. This helps learners study English with content that matches their native language, making learning easier and more effective.

###### How can I use Netflix for language learning?

FluentU allows you to learn a new language with Netflix by turning every Netflix show or movie into a personalized language learning experience. FluentU enhances language learning with Netflix by offering interactive features that integrate seamlessly with your favorite content in languages like Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and English. With FluentU's Netflix integration, you'll have access to interactive subtitles and a powerful learning engine, making your language learning both effective and enjoyable.

###### Is it possible to learn a language with movies and TV shows?

Yes, absolutely! Watching movies and TV shows in your target language exposes you to authentic, everyday language use, including slang, idioms, and cultural references that you might not find in textbooks. This immersive experience helps improve your listening skills, expand your vocabulary, and understand the natural flow of conversations. There's a reason why learning with authentic content is one of the guiding principles of ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages). By choosing content that interests you, you're more likely to stay engaged and motivated, making the learning process both enjoyable and effective. But to be successful, make sure that the content is 'comprehensible input' for you - that's where FluentU comes in.
