TL;DR: Learn a new language from movies you love. That's really all you need to know…but If you have time to waste reading a characteristically lengthy app description designed for search optimization then, by all means, continue reading. Our bigtech overlords want to make sure you understand what's going to happen after you download our language learning app. So let's be abundantly clear. With our Nonsense you WILL NOT: • Get fluent in 30 days • Unscramble sentences • Get "easy" language examples • Increase your test scores in just 10 hours • Be harassed by colorful birds • Learn how to order coffee* What you WILL do is: • Immerse in Hollywood movie scenes • Understand words and grammar with in-context explanations • Hear many different voices and ways of saying things • Learn how native speakers actually use the language • Remember what you learn forever • Be able to quote Shrek in foreign language Learn 39 languages for free from your favorite movies: English, Spanish (Latin America), Spanish (Spain), French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Chinese (Simplified), Italian, Japanese, Korean, Czech, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Slovak, Greek, Romanian, Croatian, Bulgarian, Slovenian, Lithuanian, Serbian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Georgian, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Urdu, Thai, Farsi, Hebrew and Arabic. You can watch all the content for free (with annoying ads). You can pay to get rid of ads plus get unlimited saved words and scenes. You can pay a ridiculous amount to get UHD video and spatial audio. *You'll eventually learn how to order coffee because we add new movies every week. You're bound to get a coffee ordering scene at some point. Make sure you sign up for push notifications if you want to stay in the loop for new movie and feature drops.

WatchLearn помогает подготовиться к фильмам и сериалам на английском до просмотра. Вместо случайных слов вы учите лексику, фразы, идиомы и сленг из конкретного фильма или серии, которую действительно собираетесь смотреть. WatchLearn не показывает фильмы и сериалы внутри приложения. Он помогает заранее подготовить словарь, а смотреть вы будете там, где обычно смотрите. Как это работает: 1. Найдите фильм или сериал 2. Посмотрите слова и фразы, которые стоит знать заранее 3. Потренируйтесь в карточках и быстрых квизах 4. Смотрите увереннее и меньше зависите от субтитров Каждая сессия короткая и сфокусированная. Повторяйте полезную лексику, проверяйте себя за несколько минут и привыкайте к живым диалогам, а не учебным примерам. Возможности: - Слова и фразы из фильмов и сериалов на основе субтитров - Живая разговорная лексика, идиомы и сленг - Карточки со свайп-обучением - Квизы с вариантами ответов - Личный словарь по выбранным фильмам и сериям - Отслеживание прогресса - Темная и светлая темы - Интерфейс на английском, русском, украинском, испанском и французском Полный доступ открывает подписка. Первые 3 дня — бесплатно, дальше подписка продлевается автоматически; отменить можно в любой момент в настройках Apple ID. Бесплатного тарифа без подписки нет. Подготовьтесь заранее. Смотрите с большим пониманием. Условия использования (EULA): https://watchlearn.online/terms-of-service.html Политика конфиденциальности: https://watchlearn.online/privacy-policy.html
