Show HN: Language Learning on YouTube with AI Exercises

1 pointsby yunusabd4 months ago
Hi HN,<p>I made this Chrome extension for language leaning on Youtube. It shows a transcript container when you’re watching a video, and you can select text and get a translation. You can then save the results as a flashcard. When you open study mode, you get language learning exercises generated by ChatGPT.<p>It’s not fully fleshed out yet, but the basics are there. I really like the idea of learning languages using content that’s relevant to you, as opposed to the standard text book contents.<p>That being said, the extension is not for complete beginners. I think you should at least know the basics of the language that you’re learning, to really benefit from it.<p>Releasing bug fixes unfortunately isn’t straightforward, because each release has to go through Google’s review process again, which seems to take a couple of days each time. So here are some caveats:<p>- Only works with videos that have CC&#x2F;subtitles available<p>- If the transcript container doesn’t show up, try reloading the page. Theater mode will make the container move down, so I recommend the normal, non-widescreen view<p>- In the extension popup, you have to scroll down to see the “Study Cards” button, as it gets moved down by the previews of the cards<p>- Videos that have embedding disabled don’t show up in study mode<p>- As usual, responses from ChatGPT can be wrong<p>Happy to hear what you think and how it works for your language pair!
