Migaku: Really Learn Languages

This dev team and this addon is singlehandedly responsible for getting me to a conversational level in Japanese. This is a new add on that is still being developed BUT for 99% of people its incredibly functional, non buggy, and comes with a lot of things; Chat GPT examples, multiple dictionaries, customizable flash cards, image and audio input from study source, and language progress tracking so I know how well I'm doing. Do not listen to any bad review, the issues they have are incredibly minor and are usually fixed and updated within a week or two as this is being developed and updated constantly. I've been using Migaku for years and so happy to see the progress the whole team has made. THANK YOU

I've been using the Migaku extension for a while now. I started with the Legacy addon and every update always got me excited. Switching from long and tedious mining sessions watching anime with Anki and other software and dictionaries on the side to simply clicking on one button to get an app to do everything for me changed the way I study Japanese forever! I admit I got so used to the Legacy app that the new design seems a bit weird for me still, but with the new added features (Netflix support and Stats analyzer especially <3), what's there not to like? And if like me you still like using some of your classic apps like Anki, you can also decide to not replace it but simply use this app to complement it. I've "only" ever used Migaku for the stats analyzer and the flashcard mining but I never looked back. I've seen this app grow and evolve over time, so despite the fact some of the old features might not have been reimplemented yet, I can only recommend to trust the team on this! Best language learning app out there!

I saw a cool Youtube video about the legacy plugin, turns out the devs removed one of the coolest feature of the original plugin in this new rollout version, which is the speed-up option of video parts that don't contain dialog. I was previously considering to pay for this, but without this feature I might as well use LanguageReactor which is free. Unless I'm wrong and the feature exists, but I couldn't find it after checking every tab on the tool. Happy to come back in the future to review this again if they add the odd features back in which made the legacy app so interesting. Edit: I'm removing yet another star, because this app is really buggy. In the beginning I was able to see pinyin above Chinese characters which is really helpful when learning Chinese, suddenly the pinyin is gone in either Netflix or Youtube, even though it's activated in the settings. Several restarts did not help. Definitely going back to LanguageReactor for now.

Seems too buggy to use properly. It only seems to work randomly. After several attempts I finally got it to work on Netflix but it immediately froze up my screen and I had to hard reset. I can't believe they are charging money for this. Baffling.

It got it's problems for sure, but its the best alternative out there (if you combine the legacy and the new one) Plus the owner and the team are great people, and they are doing serious business.

I really want to use this extension, but it's super buggy. If a Netflix subtitle has a long, continued sentence that started on a previous screen, Migaku doesn't recognise it as one sentence and only clips what's currently on the screen. It's annoying to go back and manually fix. I know it's a "new" feature for you guys, but please fix this. I also REALLY dislike that the Netflix subtitles have English on the top? The whole point is to immerse, not use the English as a crutch. Have never seen any language immersion website recommend that for someone that's intermediate+ so I was very surprised to see this. Please add the option to remove the english subtitles. This really isn't a lot to ask. edit: amending the part about the English subtitles because I didn't know the toolbar even existed! that was not obvious to me at all to hover there! I will leave it there and not edit it out as atonement for not seeing it.

Did you really get rid of the subtitle browser? I can't figure out how to create a flashcard for anki anymore. Went back to the legacy plugin.

I've tried multiple browsers, unable to log into the extension on any of them, either the log in screen doesn't pop up, or it's stuck processing my login indefinitely.

Migaku is honestly the only immersion tool I would ever use. It's so great not just for making cards, but even if I never made cards, just the immersion support is fantastic. 100% recommend.
