Use tool ↗About Migaku
Migaku is a browser extension and companion apps that turn everyday content — Netflix shows, YouTube videos, and general web pages — into language-learning material. Clicking a word in a supported language brings up a definition, pronunciation, an image, and an AI-generated explanation, which can be saved as a flashcard reviewed later with spaced repetition. It scores comprehension based on which words a learner already knows, supports custom subtitle imports, and covers Japanese, Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, Korean, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Vietnamese, Italian, French, and English. Migaku Inc. runs a roughly 30-person team; new accounts get a 10-day free trial, then a Standard plan at $10 a month, an Early Access plan at $15 a month, or a $499 lifetime purchase.

Pros & cons of Migaku
Migaku's bet is that watching a show you already want to watch teaches vocabulary better than a flashcard app in isolation, and the one-click-to-flashcard flow makes that practical instead of tedious. It only pays off for content you're already consuming in the target language, and the lifetime option is a real commitment at $499.
Pros
- One-click flashcard creation directly from Netflix, YouTube, and web pages
- Built-in spaced repetition and comprehension scoring
- AI-generated word explanations alongside dictionary definitions
- Available as browser extension plus iOS and Android apps
Cons
- Only covers eleven languages, so many learners aren't served
- Lifetime option costs $499, a large upfront commitment
Best for
- Learners who already watch shows/YouTube in their target language
- People wanting spaced-repetition review built from real content, not premade decks
- Learners of the eleven specifically supported languages
Not for
- Complete beginners with zero comprehension to build flashcards from
- Learners of languages outside Migaku's eleven-language list
Watch out: The exact current price wasn't confirmed on Migaku's own pricing page (it did not render usable figures); the $10/$15/$499 numbers come from the company's past pricing announcement and third-party review sites.
