Reading vs watching

It rides along with reading

You don’t pick a lesson or an episode. Words appear in what you were going to read anyway.

Chosen for your level

NativeLingo picks the words. With subtitles, every line is at the show’s level, not yours.

A2 words only

A review that sticks

Words you met come back in a 90-second typed review, just before you’d forget them.

Use both.

Language Reactor for the evening episode, NativeLingo for the rest of the day. They don’t get in each other’s way.

Questions

Not on articles. On YouTube both can work with subtitles: if you watch with Language Reactor’s dual subtitles, turn off “Subtitles on YouTube” in the NativeLingo popup.

Try it for a week on what you already read.
