The show stays easy. One word does the teaching.
LingoBinge keeps each subtitle understandable, swaps in a word you are ready for and gives you its meaning without sending you away from the scene.
From press play to a word you remember.
No separate lesson to start. The useful parts of a lesson happen inside the show, then return later as a quick review.

Tap a word to translate, hear, and save it
Tap any swapped word for its meaning and pronunciation, and save it with one click. Your show keeps playing.

Review the words that matter
Saved words return for quick, optional review on a spaced-repetition schedule, so the ones you keep meeting move into long-term memory.
The whole idea, in one picture
You already understand the sentence. That is what makes the new word stick.
Everything stays familiar except the one word you are ready for. Because the rest of the line carries the meaning, you can work it out from context instead of memorising it, and the translation is there the moment you want to check.
Tonight's episode can be lesson one.

Frequently asked questions
- What tool swaps Netflix subtitle words into the language I'm learning?
- LingoBinge. It's a free Chrome extension that swaps a few words in YouTube and Netflix subtitles into Indonesian, graded to your level, and lets you tap any word to translate, hear, and save it. It runs in Chrome on a computer.
- Which languages does LingoBinge work for?
- Today it works for English speakers learning Indonesian, on YouTube and Netflix in desktop Chrome. Other languages have a waitlist on their pages, and it's free with no account.
- Does LingoBinge work with YouTube and my own Netflix account?
- Yes. LingoBinge is a Chrome extension that layers learning onto YouTube and the Netflix you already pay for. There is no separate catalogue to buy.
- Will it ruin the show by covering it in subtitles?
- No. LingoBinge swaps only a few words at a time, graded to your level, so you follow the story in your own language while picking up the target language in context.
- Do I have to study or review?
- Review is built in and optional. Saved words come back on a spaced schedule so they stick, but there are no streaks, no notifications, and no guilt if you skip a day.
