If you’ve ever thought, “I love this show, website, game, or X, but I wish it was available in my target language”… well, maybe it is!
Be sure to explore the language settings on your devices, websites, games, and apps, and you can get some pretty cool options for studying foreign languages nowadays.
If you have several devices, consider dedicating one of them to your target language by switching that device’s operating system language to your target language.
If you like to play video games, look carefully at what languages are supported by the game before you get it. Some games are available in a slue of different languages, some not so many. And for some games, you can change their language within the game’s settings, but for others, you might need to change the language settings on your devices to cause the game to switch to that language.
If you often watch Netflix, you can take advantage of that with two Google Chrome extensions: “Nflxmultisubs” will let you turn on two sets of subtitles at the same time, while “Language Learning With Netflix” will put a fully-translated transcript on the side of your screen and give you an auto-pause function, which will give you some time to wrestle with each sentence before it blows by.
With some simple adjustments like these, you can start to get a whole lot more practice in!
