Features

Everything you need to understand native speakers

Real videos are the best way to hear how a language is actually spoken. DracoLanguage makes them understandable, line by line.

Interactive transcript

The full subtitles follow the video in a panel next to it. The current line is highlighted, and a click on any line jumps right there.

AI explanationsPremium

An AI tutor explains the complete sentence — even when it is split across several subtitle lines — with translation, vocabulary, grammar, and usage notes.

Explain any selectionPremium

Select exactly the part you are unsure about, from a single word to several lines, and get it explained in context.

Click any word

A short dictionary entry with the base form, reading, and the patterns a word is used in, such as put up with sth or mit etwas klarkommen.

Adapted to your level

Beginner, intermediate, or advanced: explanations go into as much detail as you need, in the language you understand best.

Pinyin with tone colours

For Chinese, pinyin appears above the panel and the player subtitles. Characters with several readings are read from context.

Listen line by line

Previous, repeat, and next line with A, S, and D. Pause automatically after each line and slow down to 0.75×.

Save and review

Save words, sentences, and grammar points. Saved words are underlined in every transcript, and you can export them as CSV for Anki.

AI tutor

Not just a translation — an explanation

Machine translation tells you what a sentence means. DracoLanguage tells you why: which words carry the meaning, which patterns they follow, and which grammar holds the sentence together.

  • Translation the meaning of the whole sentence
  • Words reading, base form, part of speech, patterns
  • Grammar the structures used, with examples
  • Tip usage, register, and common pitfalls

Chinese with pinyin

银yín行háng行háng长zhǎng

“Bank president” — 行 and 长 each have two readings. DracoLanguage reads the whole sentence to pick the right one.
