Ask about learning Spanish, French, Japanese and more — or about learning in general — and get a report grounded only in published research. No guessing, no folk wisdom.

Do subtitles help you learn a language?
Captioned video improves vocabulary recognition and listening comprehension once you’re past beginner levelSource 1, but true beginners get more out of subtitles in their own language firstSource 2. It depends where you’re starting from.
Sources
No source, no claim — reports that can't back a statement with real research say so instead of guessing.
When the research for a language or question is limited, the report tells you rather than sounding more confident than the evidence allows.
The good research is locked in paywalled journals and written for other researchers. We read it so you don't have to.
01
Type a language-learning question in plain English — no special syntax, no keyword-hunting.
02
Real academic sources are searched, ranked, and read in full — not summarized from training data.
03
A clear report with every claim linked back to the source it came from.
Good research on how people actually learn languages exists. It's just locked in journals and written for other researchers.
Most learners have two places to turn: the hard-won experience of people who've made the journey, or whatever the algorithm has decided is popular.
Both have real value. Neither is the same as evidence.
We read the journals, filter for what holds up, and write it in plain language — so what guides your learning is research rather than guesswork.
