We're excited to announce a major update: Sabi now supports Rakuten Viki, a popular streaming platform featuring a wide range of Asian dramas, movies, and variety shows. This means even more immersive, real-world content to supercharge your language learning. Whether you're learning Korean, Chinese, Japanese, or another language featured on Rakuten Viki, Sabi helps you turn your screen time into an effective learning experience.

Why Rakuten Viki?

Rakuten Viki is beloved by millions of fans around the world for its collection of high-quality shows from Korea, China, Taiwan, Japan, and beyond. The platform offers:

— A rich variety of genres: from rom-coms and thrillers to historical dramas and reality shows

— Community-powered subtitles in dozens of languages

— A global community of viewers and language learners

Now, with Sabi's new support, you can take those shows a step further by turning them into interactive learning tools.

How Sabi Enhances the Viki Experience

Watching foreign-language content is already a great way to immerse yourself in a new language, but Sabi makes it smarter and more effective. Here's how Sabi integrates with Rakuten Viki:

1. Dual Subtitles

Watch with both the original language subtitles and a translation at the same time to reinforce vocabulary and meaning.

2. Word Hovering

Hover over any subtitle to instantly get translations, pronunciations, example sentences, and more.

3. Auto-Pause

Enable auto-pause so the video automatically stops after each subtitle, giving you time to understand and process what was said.

4. Interactive Exercises

While you're watching, practice what you hear with speaking drills and vocabulary and grammar exercises.

A Perfect Pairing for Language Learners

Combining Viki's vast library of native-language content with Sabi's interactive tools creates a unique opportunity. It lets you learn the language as it's really spoken, with real context, real emotions, and real slang or expressions that you won't find in a textbook. Whether you're trying to understand K-drama dialogue or get a feel for Chinese intonation, Sabi with Viki gives you the tools to not just watch but actually learn.
