Tracking Languages

Tracking Languages is a Chrome extension designed for language learners who want to monitor and optimize their immersion through watching content in their target language. The tool automatically tracks every minute spent watching videos in one of 38 supported languages across Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video, removing the need for manual logging or spreadsheets. Its primary aim is to help users stay motivated and accountable as they build language skills through regular media exposure.

The extension features automatic language detection, so users simply press play and the tool identifies the language and begins tracking time without any additional setup. It provides detailed statistics, allowing users to view their daily, weekly, and all-time progress for each language. To further encourage consistent practice, Tracking Languages incorporates daily goals, streak tracking, and a visual garden with ten growth stages that progresses as users meet their targets. A live leaderboard lets learners see how their immersion hours compare with others, fostering a sense of community and friendly competition.

For those who use supplementary language learning platforms, the extension offers one-click export of tracked hours to Dreaming Spanish or Dreaming French, with options to select the desired time frame for synchronization. The tool is specifically tailored for individuals who learn languages by watching authentic content and want a seamless way to quantify and track their exposure.

Tracking Languages is available through a single paid plan, with a 7-day free trial period and an annual subscription fee. The service is accessible exclusively as a Chrome extension, focusing on integration with the major video streaming platforms mentioned. Its streamlined approach is intended to minimize distractions and let users concentrate on engaging with language content while the tool handles all tracking in the background.
