Language tracking app for Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video

You're already doing the hard part

If you watch shows in Spanish, Korean, Japanese, or any other language on Netflix, YouTube, or Prime Video, you're already doing immersion. The missing piece is knowing how much you've actually done.

Most language learners have no idea whether they've watched 50 hours or 200 hours. That gap matters — the FSI estimates you need 600-750 hours of input for Category I languages (Spanish, French, Italian) and 2,200 hours for Category IV (Japanese, Mandarin, Arabic).

Why a language tracking app matters

A 2022 Duolingo report found 80% of learners quit within the first month. The main reason: they couldn't feel progress. Immersion is especially vulnerable to this because there's no score, no quiz, no green checkmark.

A language tracking app turns invisible progress into a number. "I've done 147 hours of Spanish" is concrete. "I think I've been watching a lot" is not.

What to look for in a language tracker

Automatic detection — you shouldn't have to press start/stop or log manually. Manual tracking has a 50% dropout rate within 30 days.

Platform coverage — your tracker should work where you actually watch: Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video.

Progress visualisation — daily goals, streaks, weekly charts, and total hours per language. You need to see the number going up.

How [Tracking Languages](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tracking-languages-youtub/cbaalohblckggigoifmgipimiikjifca) works

Tracking Languages is a Chrome extension that detects the audio language on Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video automatically. Every minute counts toward your total — no buttons, no forms.

You get: - Daily goals and streaks to stay consistent - Weekly chart showing your input over time - All-time hours per language, mapped to FSI milestones - A growing tree that visualises your total immersion - CSV export and Dreaming Spanish sync

The bottom line

You don't need a new app to find content — Netflix and YouTube have thousands of hours in 38+ languages. What you need is a way to track the hours you're already putting in. That's what turns watching into measurable progress.
