Description

Migaku offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed to help individuals learn languages by engaging with authentic native content. Primarily through its powerful Chrome extension, Migaku transforms popular websites, including Netflix and YouTube, into interactive learning environments. Users can instantly look up words and phrases within subtitles or web pages, receiving definitions, pronunciations, images, and even AI-generated explanations to understand context deeply.

The platform facilitates efficient vocabulary acquisition by enabling users to create personalized flashcards directly from the content they consume. These flashcards can include the word, its context sentence, audio, a screenshot from the video, and detailed definitions. Migaku then employs a spaced repetition system to help users memorize new vocabulary effectively. It also tracks learned words to provide comprehension scores on new content, guiding users to materials suitable for their level, and supports a wide range of languages for both beginners and advanced learners, including Cantonese, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
