What is LingoTube

LingoTube turns any YouTube or TED video into a structured close-reading lesson. Watch with synced bilingual subtitles, tap any word for an instant translation, and track how much of the A1 core English you actually recognize in real speech.

Paste any YouTube / TED link

Real talks, real news, real interviews — not textbook scripts. Sit down, paste a link, start learning.

Synced bilingual subtitles

Auto-aligned English + your native language. The current sentence highlights and scrolls as the speaker speaks.

Tap any word, learn it

Click any word to see UK + US IPA, definition, example, and an instant translation. Save it to your vocabulary.

A1 core highlighted

LingoTube highlights every word in the A1 core vocabulary (1,076 words), so you see your real coverage as you watch.

Why LingoTube vs the others

We took the best ideas from LingQ, Language Reactor, Lingopie, and Readlang — and removed the bits that hold them back.

Language Reactor only works inside Netflix / YouTube via a browser extension. LingoTube is a clean dedicated reading workspace for any video — on any device, no install.

Everything you need to study a video

Every feature is here because we missed it in another tool while watching real videos.

Synced subtitle highlighting

The current sentence stays in view as the speaker talks. Click any sentence to jump to that moment.

Word-level lookup

Click any word for UK + US IPA, part of speech, definition, example, and a translation.

A1 core highlight

Words from the A1 core vocabulary are highlighted in your transcript. Watch your real coverage grow.

Three font sizes

Small / Medium / Large — saved per device. Read comfortably on a 13-inch laptop or a 4K monitor.

Keyboard shortcuts

Space to play / pause, L to jump back to the current sentence, R to replay it. Built for serious learners.
