Learn Mode is an innovative feature to facilitate language learning. It is available for Korean, Chinese, Japanese & Taiwanese titles that have at least 50% subtitles in the origin language.

Learn Mode is available on web browsers and the iOS app only. 

  Important : We are aware of the issues happening with the Learn Mode feature. However, we’d like to let you know that any work on Learn Mode has been put on hold for now. We greatly appreciate your understanding.
