Videos you want to watch English you want to learn
We learn languages to understand what we hear and say what we mean.
But a sentence we don’t quite catch can slip by in an instant.
Mipha is here to make trying again easier.
Choose what you love to watch
A clip that sparks your interest is worth learning from again and again.
Explore handpicked documentaries, talks, interviews, vlogs, animation, and film and TV clips, covering science, business, and more.
- Find videos you’ll enjoy, at a level that suits you. Pick a topic you like, then check the difficulty and length to find a clip that fits your level and the time you have.
- Choose what’s right for your child. When watching together, filter by age to narrow down your choices.
Tap where you want to listen
Missed a word? Tap it in the subtitles to hear it again, without dragging the progress bar back and forth.
- Go back to that last sentence, anytime. Jump back to check what you missed, then carry on listening when you’re ready.
- Practice again, without pressing replay again. Let the same sentence repeat automatically, so you can focus on listening and repeating aloud.
- Too fast? Take it slower. Slow down a word or a whole sentence, and give yourself time to pick out the sounds that went by too quickly.
Look up words without leaving the video
An unfamiliar word? Check its meaning right in the video.
With the definition and the scene in view, you can understand how the word is used here.
- No time to read it all? You can come back and check. The definition stays visible as the subtitles move on. You can also revisit words you looked up earlier.
- Can’t remember how to use it? Go back to that sentence. Save a word along with its original sentence and a video clip of the scene. Later, you can watch that moment and hear that sentence again.
Why say it this way?
Know every word, but still don’t quite understand the sentence? Tap an underlined expression in the subtitles to clear up what’s puzzling you.
- Feel more confident using it yourself. Understand its tone and who it’s appropriate to use it with. Compare similar expressions side by side to see the differences more clearly.
- Listen again, knowing what to listen for. See which sounds link together and which are pronounced lightly. Use the pronunciation example as a guide, then listen again to the original audio.
- I could use this expression, too. See examples from other situations. You might find just the words for something you’ve wanted to say in everyday life but didn’t know how to express.
Practice what you’ve learned so it comes more naturally
Keep practicing here with the words and explanations you’ve saved and the questions you’ve already tried.
- No need to keep track of when to practice again. What you’ve learned can fade from memory over time. The Ebbinghaus forgetting curve describes this process. Mipha schedules your next review based on your answers, so you don’t have to plan it yourself or search through your saved items.
- You recognize the word, but aren’t quite sure how to use it. Go back to the original sentence in the video. Try filling in missing words and choosing the right word form. If you get stuck, you can listen to the original clip again and use the context to give it another try.
- The explanation made sense. Can you do it on your own? Try the questions in the explanations to see which ones you can answer correctly on your own and where you need more practice. If you’re not sure yet, you can look at a sample answer first, then keep practicing.
Questions & Answers
Have another question? Feel free to email us. We read and reply to every email.
[email protected]I struggle to understand English videos. Where should I start?
Pick a short, easier video that interests you and start with one sentence. If you can't catch the words, slow it down and listen again. If you're unsure what it means, check the translation and explanation. We believe repeating something until you can do it well matters more than covering lots of material.
Do I need to download an app to learn on my phone?
No. Just open mipha.ai in your phone's browser to get started. You can export words and explanations as image cards, save them to your phone, and review them whenever you have a spare moment.
Can I add a YouTube video I like and study it here?
You can't add your own links at the moment. You can only study videos already in Mipha's library. Try searching the library to see if it has something you'd like to learn from.
Do I need to put together exercises to review what I've saved?
With Pro, you can keep practicing saved words and explanations, as well as questions you've already tried in explanations. Mipha schedules your next review based on your answers, so you don't have to put together exercises or plan your reviews.
Is Mipha enough if I want to have conversations in English?
Not on its own. Mipha mainly helps you understand what you hear. Conversation also takes practice putting your thoughts into words and responding to others. If speaking with a real person makes you nervous, you can practice voice conversations with GPT Live.
Do I have to pay to use Mipha?
You can get started without paying or adding a credit card. Watching videos, looking up words, and replaying the original audio are free. You can also read the core parts of explanations and try their short exercises.
How do I cancel if I no longer want Pro?
Turn off auto-renewal under “Manage subscription”. You can keep using Pro until the end of your paid period. To request a refund, you can also email [email protected].
