Learn a language by understanding real content. Without subtitles. NoSubs turns native videos, shows, songs and stories into lessons at your level, one line at a time, until you can follow the real thing by ear. UNDERSTAND NATIVE CONTENT Start with short stories voiced by native speakers, written for your level, in Spanish, Japanese, Korean, whatever language you're trying to learn. Each line plays first. Only the words that are new to you light up. Tap any word for its meaning. LEARN FROM ANYTHING YOU WATCH Found a video, a clip, a show or a song you love? Share it to NoSubs from the app you're watching in, or paste a link. NoSubs turns it into lessons at your level. Import works in dozens of languages. PRACTICE LISTENING Every line plays with no subtitles first. Catch what you can, replay it, slow it down to half speed, then check yourself. Your ear does the work. GET QUIZZED BY YOUR TUTOR Your tutor (Lupe for Spanish, Kenji-sensei for Japanese, Madam Choi for Korean) quizzes you on the exact lines you just heard. Get one wrong and they'll let you know. You pick how hard they go. SEE YOURSELF FLUENT With Fluent, a selfie and a few seconds of your voice become a short video of you saying a line from your story at native speed. Then guess what you just said. (Fluent is part of NoSubs Pro.) KEEP EVERY WORD Keep any word or line as a flashcard. Each story becomes its own deck, and cards come back right before you'd forget them. Review what's due, or study them all. YOUR ROAD TO FLUENCY Follow your path one story at a time and watch the stops behind you add up. NOSUBS PRO Try NoSubs free. Pro unlocks every part of every story and import, unlimited lessons a day, and Fluent. Your flashcard reviews stay free, with or without Pro. NoSubs Pro is an auto-renewing subscription with a free trial.
