👋 Intro As a serial startup founder and someone who has been learning English for 20 years, I'm aware of the difficulties of regularly practicing a new language. Approximately 760 million English First Language speakers like me are motivated to learn the language, but not motivated enough to change our habits and practice it regularly. One of the reasons for the difficulty with regular practice is that it's challenging for an adult city dweller to embed a new activity or habit, in our case, learning a language, into the established mode of life. 📺 Watching videos to learn English After much experimentation, I found that incorporating my English learning into my daily routine was possible by watching videos in English. This allowed me to enjoy my spare time while improving my language skills. However, if you're not fluent in the target language, stopping to check unfamiliar words ruins the pleasure of watching, and we are first and foremost watching, and then learning. Not checking unfamiliar words also means missing context, often important context. 🔍 Existing solutions Upon reviewing the existing solutions, I found that most language platforms or advanced competitors were too complicated to use, which meant that the desire to use them quickly came to naught. 💡 Our Solution Our goal is to create a complete solution that simplifies the discovery of unknown words in videos and makes it easy to learn them later, with unobtrusive help and hints from AI based on statistics. 👉 What we have so far: Google Chrome extension that works on YouTube, Netflix, Coursera (with more platforms to come) * Instant word translation on hover or click, including context * Automatic saving of viewed words with context into your personal vocabulary * Personal account with viewed/saved words and statistics * Mobile apps for memorizing words * Weekly digest of frequent words * Free and premium plans 📝 What is in the plans: * Automatic detection of phrasal verbs and other strong expressions * Support of Safari, desktop and mobile versions * Coverage of major streaming and educational platforms * Editing of saved words/phrases in the personal account * Different modes of playing captions and showing translations 🙏 The ask. And give :) We would love to hear your thoughts, questions, and feedback, so we can continue to improve the product. We appreciate constructive criticism, but please don't throw tomatoes at us just yet! As a token of our appreciation, we're offering 2 weeks of full access for those of our PH users who activate the code: PH2WEEKS. Or follow this link: https://app.intersub.cc/en/check.... P.S. Huge thanks to @kevin for hunting us today. We greatly appreciate your support! 🤩

As a maker, I'm proud to announce the launch of another edutainment project - InterSub which helps people elevate their language learning while watching videos. It was a long journey with lots of UX and technical experiments, and I love the final product. However, we're constantly looking for your feedback and for improvement ideas for further development inspirations. Feel free to share it in your comments. Also, check the Kirill's intro post for more details and for a special offer for PH users.

I love that you can get the word translation with one click. I sometimes find myself pausing a movie just to Google "word + definition". Your solution is so much easier and less time-consuming. Congrats on the launch!

Congratulations on launching InterSub! This is an amazing tool for language learners - I'm eager to start using it for my own language journey!

@kevin @mujaji Congratulations on the launch of InterSub! Users can easily learn new words by watching videos on popular platforms with instant translation and automatic saving to personal vocabulary and contribute to a productive learning experience. Well done!

Congtrats on the launch! This tool looks like actually useful browser extention 🙂 Good luck with the development

@dennis_crane congratulations on the launch! This tool looks very interesting - if not for learning English, but definitely for translating. I've tested in on Youtube and my favorite part is that it pauses video on hover on a new word and automatically starts again. Great usability!

It is an great platform to learn languages and in a new way Great product Congratulations on your launch All the best!

Looks very intriguing! Wondering what age this will be most appropriate for as a teaching solution. Can my 7-year benefit from it?

@mujaji , indeed an awesome product. Will surely check it out and suggest those who may need this the most. Wishing you all the best for this one.

Exciting tool! I remember learning French by watching the same movie again and again. It was super useful, and I learned a lot of phrases, but I was constantly switching between that movie and a dictionary, it's a bit annoying. This tool looks really promising, and Spanish is my next language challenge!

Wow, beautiful project, congratulations with launch, are you also planning to extend to other languages? I would appriciate to have such app for German

This is super cool. As someone who's currently learning a new language and is always looking for ways to boost that learning (i.e., subtitles, Duolingo, talking to others, etc.), this is such a good idea. One big suggestion: add in an option to have the program "quiz" users every X minutes. E.g., when there are subtitles on screen, everything pauses, then it asks you to translate something, for the infinitive, to use X word that's on screen in a sentence, etc. Great idea, and congrats on the launch!! Looking forward to watching this one grow. :)

I have been planning to build something similar like this but for articles. Few ideas to share: 1. Build this for news and other articles too if no legal issue or support only allowed sites. 2. Create a flashcard system. Notify users to review words and context. 3. In the context highlight memorized words green, lesser known words yellow and red for words that user should know but might not based on his level. 4. Let them/ provide a set of goals for number of words to learn in a given timeframe. 5. Might use a leaderboard.

My sincere congratulations on the launch to the team! Wish you guys good luck ahead! And looking forward to the appearance of Hebrew in the list of avaliable languages.

What an awesome way for people to learn a new language! So convenient and customized. I wish I'd had something like this directly out of school. Never too late, though :)

Congrats on the launch, love the My Words integration. Any particular AI technology on the backend?

Great idea and nice pictures here!) Good luck! Is it possible to make it in safari later?

I believe that it is the best way to learn a new language. Way to go guys!

Good luck! Great idea and I like your visuals that you make)
