The video below demonstrates how to complete the following workflow:

  • Watch a Netflix show in a foreign language that you're learning (your target language)
  • Extract the subtitles directly from Netflix
  • Turn portions of the subtitles into flashcards in Anki, complete with auto-generated audio.

This is an incredibly powerful learning workflow that I'm loving at present. The main benefits I'm finding are: 1. I can learn a language whilst relaxing and watching Netflix with my partner, 2. The vocab and sentences that I learn are embedded in a memorable and emotive story, 3. I know I'll remember the words for the long term, because I'm using spaced repetition!

Here are the tools and some useful links to help you to implement this yourself:

With this tech combo, the world is your oyster!

Enjoy.
