Learn English from YouTube with interactive subtitles, in-context lookup, a Learn workspace, and spaced-repetition review.

Learn English from the YouTube videos you already enjoy. YouTube Subtitle Sidekick turns YouTube into an interactive English-learning experience. Follow rolling subtitles beside the video, understand unfamiliar language in context, and build a vocabulary you’ll actually remember.
