Videos at your level

You learn a language by listening to lots of things you understand almost entirely. That’s the idea behind comprehensible input. So the videos are sorted into four levels. Start with the one you can follow without too much effort.

Superbeginner
Starting from scratch? People speak slowly, with pictures and gestures that show what they’re saying.
Beginner
Know a few words? Simple sentences about everyday life, not too fast.
Intermediate
Already understand the basics? Longer stories and conversations at normal speed.
Advanced
Can you follow a conversation easily? More specialized topics, with idioms, at native speed.

The words from the video

Most videos have their own vocabulary cards, with the definition, an example, the translation and the pronunciation. With a free account, you can save the ones you find useful. You’ll see them again later, and the hard words come back more often.

Murmur Falls

A 3D game: a little town where everything is in the language you’re learning.

You don’t need to know a single word to start: touch an object and you see and hear its name, with its translation if you need it. The locals talk to you, and most words have a card you can keep for review.

Murmur Falls at dusk: the square, its fountain and autumn trees along the river
  1. Your apartment

    Five rooms full of everyday objects, and workshops on the time, colors and numbers.

  2. The square

    Shops, a fountain and people to meet: a painter, a lost tourist, a police officer…

  3. The supermarket

    Twelve departments, a shopping list to fill and a checkout where you pay.

Arthur, the creator of Bingelang

Who’s behind Bingelang?

I’m Arthur. On my YouTube channel, French In Motion, I teach French through comprehensible input: I speak simply, I show what I’m talking about, and you understand without translation.

Bingelang applies the same method to eight languages. You’ll find my videos there along with those of many other creators, sorted by level, so you land on videos you understand almost entirely. The cards then help you review their words.

The site is free. For a question or a bug, email me: contact@bingelang.com

The Chrome extension for YouTube and articles

Already watching YouTube? The Bingelang extension adds bilingual subtitles to videos and translates a word when you hover over it. On the sites you choose, it also translates the words of articles with a click. It’s free and works on a computer in Chrome, Edge or Brave. You need a Bingelang account.
