From the Media section, open any video that interests you, and watch with the help of bilingual subtitles. We recommend spending at least 5 hours watching videos on Language Player for each unit. Below are some usage tips:

• Tap on any word in the subtitles that you do not understand.
• Save the word by tapping on “save word.”
• Review saved words, go to Me > My Words.
