Abstract
A vocabulary level of a user in a language to be learned is identified. During playback of a media asset on a first device, subtitles in the language are extracted for at least a portion of the media asset. The extracted subtitles may contain a single word, or a plurality of words in the language in question. Based on the vocabulary level, a subset of words from the extracted subtitles are predicted to be new to the user. The predicted new words are then generated for display on a second device associated with the user, along with an explanation of each word of the subset of words.
Claims21
A method for fast, intuitive, personalized language learning from subtitles, the method comprising:
- identifying a vocabulary level of a user in a first language;
- during playback, on a first device, of a media asset, extracting subtitles in the first language for at least a portion of the media asset, the subtitles comprising a plurality of words in the first language;
- predicting, based on the vocabulary level, a subset of words of the plurality words that are new to the user;
- and
- generating for display, on a second device associated with the user, the subset of words and a respective explanation of each word of the subset of words.
A system for fast, intuitive, personalized language learning from subtitles, the system comprising:
- input/output circuitry;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- identify a vocabulary level of a user in a first language;
- during playback, on a first device, of a media asset, extract subtitles in the first language for at least a portion of the media asset, the subtitles comprising a plurality of words in the first language;
- predict, based on the vocabulary level, a subset of words of the plurality words that are new to the user;
- and
- generate for display, via the input/output circuitry, on a second device associated with the user, the subset of words and a respective explanation of each word of the subset of words.
