How Reelang works

  1. 1

    Pick your language.

    Choose from 44 languages, from Spanish and Japanese to Telugu and Filipino.

  2. 2

    Start watching.

    We start you on easier clips from real native speakers: street interviews, vlogs, recipes, comedy.

  3. 3

    Your feed levels up with you.

    Reelang notices what you follow, what you skip and which words you look up, then keeps every clip just at the edge of what you understand.

  4. 4

    Tap any word.

    Get its meaning instantly. Smart Subtitles also show how common each word is, so you know what’s worth learning.

Two ways to watch

Switch between them any time. Focus takes one sentence at a time: hear it, check if you got it, read it, then a quick quiz. It’s built on second language acquisition research and works on hard clips years in. Flow is your feed at your level: scroll, watch, tap a word when you need it.

1 · Hear it

Playing the lineNo text yet

Focus is built on second language acquisition research: listen before you read, effort before the reveal, retrieval instead of flashcards. The best way to start, and just as useful on a hard clip years in.

Built for learners who know the basics

Reelang handles the need for variety ingeniously: an algorithm-based feed that takes your level and your interests into account. It's a dream way to learn languages, and it replaced my doomscrolling.

Questions

Questions learners ask

What is Reelang?

Reelang is a free language learning app built on real native-speaker videos. It grades TikToks, Reels and YouTube clips by level and speaking speed, then gives you a feed of the ones you can almost understand, in 44 languages.

Is there an app that uses videos to help me learn a language?

Yes. Reelang turns real TikToks, Reels and YouTube videos from native speakers into listening practice in 44 languages, graded to your level.

How does Reelang know my level?

It starts you on easier clips and adjusts from how you watch: what you follow, what you skip and which words you look up. There’s no placement quiz.

What is comprehensible input?

Comprehensible input is language you can mostly understand, with a little that’s new. Linguist Stephen Krashen argued it’s how we acquire languages, and it’s the idea Reelang is built on. Reelang finds it for you in real videos. Read the full guide.

Is Reelang for absolute beginners or intermediate learners?

Reelang works best once you know the basics, from about A2 upward. If you know a little already, Focus mode takes you through a clip one sentence at a time.

Is Reelang free?

Yes. The full feed, Focus and Flow modes and tap-to-translate are free. Reelang+ adds a personalized feed, translations into your own language, Learner Insights and words that come back in new clips to help them stick.

Do I need to sign up?

No. You can start watching right away in your browser, and sign in with Google or email whenever you like (or with Apple on iPhone).

Reelang offers iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps for learning Arabic, German, English, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Portuguese, and Russian.
