About Migaku
Migaku works inside the browser on sites such as YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, Viki, X and Reddit, letting you learn from native videos and text instead of textbook exercises. Beginners start by learning the most common words and grammar patterns, then move on to mining vocabulary from what they watch and read.
It supports Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Cantonese, Spanish, English, German, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Italian and French, and includes a grammar reference.
