Language Player

Search

Find videos and channels in your target language, or jump straight to any YouTube video.

What You Can Do

The search page is the fastest way to find content in your target language (L2). You can:

Type a keyword into the search bar and click **Search... Language Player looks through all available videos and returns matches by title. You'll see video cards with thumbnails, titles, difficulty levels, and view counts.

Search... your target language for the best results. For example, if you're learning Japanese, search 料理 (cooking) instead of "cooking."

Put a # in front of your search to look at tags instead of titles. For example, #news finds videos tagged news, while news searches the words in video titles.

The search updates the page URL, so you can bookmark or share your search results.

Opening Any YouTube Video

You don't need to search for a video that's already in our database. You can paste any YouTube URL directly into the search bar and Language Player will open it with full interactive subtitles and dictionary lookup.

Paste any of these:

As soon as Language Player recognizes a YouTube link, it takes you straight to the watch page where you can see the video with synced subtitles, click any word for its definition, and save words to your vocabulary list.

See watch Page for details on the video player.

When you first open the search page, you'll see a tag cloud of popular topics in your target language. These tags come from the videos themselves, so they reflect how creators actually label their content. Click any tag to see every video with that tag — a great way to find content when you're not sure what to look for.

Clicking a tag puts a # in front of it in the search field, like #ニュース. That # is what tells Language Player to match tags instead of titles. You can type tags yourself the same way. The tag lands in the page URL, so you can bookmark or share a tag search just like any other search.

tags vary by language. A Japanese learner might see ニュース (news), アニメ (anime), and 料理 (cooking), while a Spanish learner might see música, noticias, and cocina.
