FluentU

Authentic Video Library

Study with current videos curated and leveled for beginners through advanced learners. Categories include culture, news, entertainment, and daily life, so vocabulary arrives in natural contexts. Each clip includes transcripts and slow-play, helping you hear boundaries between words. Recommendations surface next videos that recycle target phrases so memory strengthens through spaced exposure instead of rote lists. Topic tags make it easy to build themes like travel, business, exams, or conversation.

Interactive Captions

Tap any subtitle to see definitions, example sentences, audio, and grammar notes without pausing. Save words to decks with one click, and replay the exact moment in context. Hover previews discourage over-pausing, while popups keep you in the flow. You build intuition for usage because examples come from the scene you just watched in natural speech. Keyboard shortcuts let power users move quickly during intensive sessions on desktop without breaking concentration or rhythm.

Personalized Quizzes and SRS

After watching, quizzes test meaning, listening, and recall with spaced repetition baked in. Exercises adapt to your mistakes and timing, so reviews appear before you forget. Audio questions train recognition, and type-in prompts strengthen production. You can switch between multiple-choice and written modes depending on goals and device. Smart reminders suggest short sessions that fit busy days, maintaining streaks without long sit-down lessons while still raising retention steadily.

Vocabulary Management

Every word you click becomes part of a living vocabulary list with audio, examples, and linked videos. Decks can be filtered by difficulty or topic, and progress bars show what’s due today so study time is focused. Export options support teachers and serious learners who track growth outside the app. Cross-device sync keeps state consistent between phone and web so sessions start fast. Review flows prioritize phrases you’ve seen recently to reinforce natural usage and collocations.

Classroom and Assignments

Teachers assign videos, set deadlines, and monitor performance across classes. Students receive targeted practice tied to exact clips, turning homework into measurable progress. Institution features help align materials with curricula while preserving student choice and immersion. Dashboards reveal where learners struggle so instruction time targets listening, grammar, or pronunciation precisely. Shared decks and rubrics keep expectations clear when multiple instructors share the same course.
