TL;DR
An audio-heavy platform that uses massive repetition of sentences to develop fluency. It requires discipline and is not for absolute beginners.
FluentU turns authentic videos into lessons with interactive subtitles, a contextual dictionary, and vocabulary quizzes. It's an immersive way to learn from real media.

Description

Description

Glossika employs an audio-lingual method, exposing users to thousands of natural sentences for repetition. The goal is to internalize grammatical patterns and sentence structures through high-volume listening and speaking practice, rather than explicit study. Its algorithm uses spaced repetition to schedule reviews. While powerful for developing an intuitive feel for a language, the method is highly repetitive by design and provides no grammar explanations, making it challenging for those who prefer more analytical approaches.

FluentU uses authentic video content—such as music videos, commercials, and news clips—as its foundation for language lessons. The platform features interactive subtitles that allow users to click on any word for a definition, example sentences, and pronunciation. New vocabulary can be saved as flashcards, which are then reinforced through personalized quizzes. While it offers a method for learning vocabulary in context and improving listening skills, it does not provide explicit grammar instruction or speaking practice.
