Since finding this awesome website, I’ve found my passion for the language reignited, and I now deliberately go to bed early in order to sit up for hours studying. (I’ve been beta testing the new iPad app, which, unsurprisingly, is awesome.)
11 March 2015FluentU has videos about everything and anything – from politics to culture to human interest stories and songs... This is an awesome way to brush up on your listening skills and learn a few phrases before jetting to Spain.
17 April 2014The approach is brilliant in its simplicity: take authentic Chinese videos from YouTube (movie trailers, news stories, music videos, sit coms, etc.) and provide English, Pinyin, and Hanzi subtitles.
24 October 2012What if you could watch videos on Youtube and learn French at the same time? You could expand your vocabulary by listening to French music or learn to speak French like a real Parisian. Well, it’s now possible with FluentU.
6 March 2014FluentU allows you to learn from news videos, songs, commercials, movie trailers and more – vocabulary and dialogues that are actually being used in day-to-day life by native Mandarin speakers.
13 May 2014There’s lots to love on their Web site though, including example sentences for new words; and fun content in the videos — which you can sort according to level and topic, as well as video format. You can input what type of videos you like, and FluentU will recommend some that you may enjoy. As the number of videos available grows higher and higher, this will become a more and more valuable feature.
14 November 2012This can truly be handy for some people who are trying to perfect their French online, with no or little tutoring help (as I know many of my readers are). There aren’t many tools like these going around, so when you see one, as a teacher, you want to encourage it.
16 March 2014FluentU offers everything you need all on one screen. I also find it easier to rewind or jump to a particular section of video with FluentU than with YouTube. Another advantage of FluentU, which does not come from watching the original videos directly on YouTube, is being able to access a dictionary definition and example sentences for any word/phrase in the video at any time.
4 August 2014This will be a great resource and addition to your Chinese study routine.... I was impressed by FluentU and would recommend anyone learning Chinese check it out if they want real-world Chinese content to study, as a break from the boring grind of textbooks.
2 August 2012FluentU provides a smooth interface to skip and follow the videos through their own subtitles. When you see a word you want to add to a list, just click on it and voila it`s added. The seamless user-experience is marvelous...I really like the fact that the videos are real authentic videos. Learning Chinese almost becomes an afterthought to the fact that you are watching cool videos.
29 July 2012I think this is a really handy system for any level of learner. One of the biggest headaches of trying to learn with native materials is hunting down and curating all of the native material you need to make that happen. FluentU makes that task really easy for you to do and also has a handy built-in vocabulary learning system to help you master the content without having you go out and try to create flashcards yourself.
30 September 2014My husband is studying Japanese, so we tried it too. The moment he started using it, my husband burst out laughing. Then he said, “Watch this with me!” It was so funny that I laughed too. This course has very interesting content. You can enjoy it with friends and family too.
11 October 2014This is the newest listening and vocabulary resource on the internet; FluentU (previously known as Fluent Flix) is a way to learn Chinese through authentic Chinese videos (movie trailers, news stories, music videos, sitcoms, etc.). No longer do you have to wonder ‘do Chinese people actually use this word’. You can watch short videos (usually less than 5 minutes long) in Chinese, and learn new vocabulary in context.

14 November 2012All the other features are neat too, but what I really like is the idea. I watched a recipe for cupcakes in French … made by a French person for French people… and it made all the difference to have the subtitles and translations right there.
9 July 2014Listening to the everyday language (that is popular videos, commercials and so on) allows you to learn useful vocabulary and expressions in a funny way
