Yes! FluentU has beginner courses with original content, as well as a curated library of authentic content that has been handpicked and edited, just for beginners. After you watch videos, our learning engine is designed to build you up so that you are able to produce full sentences, even if you are starting from scratch!

With FluentU, you'll notice a significant improvement in your listening comprehension and vocabulary after just a few videos. The key is to choose content that you genuinely enjoy, whether it's a YouTube video, Netflix show, or any other video with subtitles in the language you're learning. After watching and learning with a few hours of content, your confidence and understanding will greatly improve. As you immerse yourself in real-world content, your brain will naturally start picking up new words, phrases, slang, and grammar from the context of the videos. The more you watch, the faster you'll learn, and you'll find yourself becoming more confident in your language skills.

With FluentU, you can learn Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, German, Japanese, English, Italian, Russian, Korean, and Portuguese. For English, we provide versions tailored to Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Chinese, Italian, and Russian speakers. This helps learners study English with content that matches their native language, making learning easier and more effective.

Yes, absolutely! Watching movies and TV shows in your target language exposes you to authentic, everyday language use, including slang, idioms, and cultural references that you might not find in textbooks. This immersive experience helps improve your listening skills, expand your vocabulary, and understand the natural flow of conversations. There's a reason why learning with authentic content is one of the guiding principles of ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages). By choosing content that interests you, you're more likely to stay engaged and motivated, making the learning process both enjoyable and effective. But to be successful, make sure that the content is 'comprehensible input' for you - that's where FluentU comes in.
