Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Emojish to solve a frustration almost every language learner knows too well: the subtitle trap. When you watch shows in English with Spanish subtitles, your brain takes the path of least resistance—you just read Spanish and learn almost nothing. But if you switch to English subtitles, you spend half the movie pausing, looking up slang, and translating every phrase in your head until you burn out. The solution isn't more grammar drills—it's removing the mental translation layer. Emojish integrates directly into YouTube and Netflix using the ELS (Emoji Language Script) method. By anchoring key phrases and idioms to intuitive visual ideograms (e.g., 💧 + 🙏 = "Water, please"), your brain associates spoken English directly with concepts instead of translating back into your native language. Why it works: Zero playback friction: Integrates right into the native video player. Visual contextualization: Decodes idiomatic expressions and everyday speech on the fly. Real immersion: Lets you keep up with native speaking speed without the cognitive overload. Give the Chrome extension a spin on your favorite creator's channel or Netflix series, and let me know what you think! I’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or thoughts on the ELS method.
