Found an interesting resource for learning English. I was looking to rewatch “Scent of a Woman” in its original version with subtitles, and voila, found something useful. It allows you to watch videos in the original version with subtitles, and when you hover over a word, it immediately translates the word right there in the video. You can turn on subtitles in both languages at once, which is very convenient. The Russian subtitles are small. And also, if you pause the video, the most recent subtitles are displayed – so you can reread what was missed not being understood in time.
I love such startups. Probably everyone around was saying, “Stop. What’s the point in investing effort, you’ll never have enough money to buy movie rights.” But the guys just ignored all these opinions and made something good for themselves. Probably, they don’t buy rights after all, and someday the range of videos will greatly diminish, but right now, there’s plenty to watch there.
You can click on a word, and it goes into a dictionary. Also, this site has one “how not to do things” pattern – at the bottom of the page there are various links, which are unreachable because a list of movies loads dynamically.
