When learning English, many people will want to learn and watch their favorite YouTube and Netflix videos at the same time, so as to have the motivation to continue. This article will recommend a super easy-to-use free tool “Language Reactor”. After installation, it will not only automatically translate YouTube and Netflix videos into Chinese subtitles, but also click to look up Chinese explanations and other examples when you see a word you don’t understand.

Language Reactor currently only provides Chrome browser extensions, but Edge can also be installed, so anyone using Chrome and Edge can install it:
After installation, an introduction page will pop up. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. I will teach you one by one below:

You can also check the meaning of a word after clicking it, and the video will automatically stop playing to prevent you from missing any exciting moments:
The functions of Language Reactor are not limited to the above. Readers can play with the rest by themselves, and a single card function will be added in the future. In addition, the backend section also organizes YouTube and Netflix channels that are good for learning English. You can also browse them.
