Event-driven streaming media interactivity

A computer-implemented method for language learning, the method comprising:

• displaying, by a user device, a video in a first mode, wherein displaying the video in the first mode comprises:
• displaying the video and subtitles in a first language;
• or
• displaying the video without subtitles;
• receiving, by the user device and during display of the video in the first mode, user input indicating a request to pause the video at a first event time;
• sending, by the user device to the server and in response to the request to pause the video, a request for a most recent subtitle associated with the video, wherein the most recent subtitle has a corresponding start time less than or equal to the first event time and is in the first language;
• receiving, by the user device and in response to the request for the most recent subtitle, first response data comprising a first subtitle that corresponds to the most recent subtitle and is in the first language;
• displaying, by the user device and in response to receiving the request to pause the video, the video in a second mode, wherein displaying the video in the second mode comprises displaying:
• the paused video,
• the received first subtitle in the first language, and
• a corresponding second subtitle comprising the first subtitle in a different second language, wherein the second subtitle is not displayed in the first mode;
• and
• receiving, by the user device, user input indicating a request to see additional context related to the first subtitle or the second subtitle;
• and
• displaying, by the user device and in response to receiving the request to see additional context, the video in a third mode, wherein displaying the video in the third mode comprises displaying:
• the paused video,
• the determined received first subtitle in the first language,
• the corresponding second subtitle in the second language, and
• visual indicia indicating context and usage of at least one word or phrase in the first subtitle.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a user device to perform steps comprising:

• receiving a request to display a video;
• sending, to a server, a request for a stream of the video;
• displaying audiovisual content based on the stream of the video;
• receiving a request to pause display of the video at a first event time;
• sending, to the server and in response to the request to pause display of the video, a request for a most recent subtitle associated with the video, wherein the most recent subtitle has a corresponding start time less than or equal to the first event time and is in a target language associated with the audiovisual content;
• receiving, in response to the request for the most recent subtitle, first response data comprising a target language subtitle that corresponds to the most recent subtitle and is in the target language;
• displaying, in response to the request to pause display of the video, the paused video, the received target language subtitle, and a corresponding native language subtitle, wherein at least one of the target language subtitle and the native language subtitle appears in response to the request to pause display of the video, and wherein the native language subtitle corresponds to the target language subtitle and is in a native language that is associated with the user and is different from the target language associated with the audiovisual content;
• receiving a request to display additional context corresponding to the target language subtitle;
• and
• displaying, in response to the request to display additional context, visual indicia indicating context and usage of at least one word or phrase of the target language subtitle.
