FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Learning English with YouTube

LinkerTube turns any YouTube video into a step-by-step English learning routine. It adds bilingual subtitles, instant explanations, and a review system—so your watching time becomes measurable progress. Starting with English, more languages are coming soon.

Yes, LinkerTube is a Chrome extension that transforms YouTube into an English learning platform. It adds bilingual subtitles, instant AI explanations, and vocabulary tracking to any YouTube video you watch—so you can learn English from content you already love.

Most tools translate. LinkerTube builds a learning loop: it highlights what matters, tracks what you understand, and brings back what you're likely to forget—so input actually sticks over time.

LinkerTube is designed for intermediate English learners who feel stuck — and want to turn real YouTube content into real progress. If you can understand some English but struggle to make consistent progress, LinkerTube helps you break through that plateau. Complete beginners can still use it, but starting with slower, clearer videos will make the experience smoother.

LinkerTube works best when a video has clear subtitles/captions. If captions are missing or low quality, the learning experience can be limited—so we recommend choosing videos with good captions whenever possible.

Most learners start with 10–15 minutes a day. Progress depends on your level and consistency, but the routine makes improvement feel less random—more understanding, better retention, and clearer "what to learn next."

You can start with our plan and cancel anytime. We offer a 7-day refund, so you can try LinkerTube with real videos and decide if it fits your learning style.

Not yet, but we're building it. LinkerTube helps you capture the right vocabulary from real videos (with context). Anki helps you lock it into long-term memory with spaced repetition. Anki export is coming.
