People Are Watching Netflix to Learn a Foreign Language

Of the Memrise users who want to learn Korean, 86 percent of them pointed
to Netflix’s “Squid Game,” Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite,” and/or K-pop music as
key drivers. Memrise saw a “solid swell” of Korean-language learners with
the rise of K-pop groups like BTS and Blackpink, Toy said. The blockbuster
performance of “Squid Game” bumped that level up even higher.

Netflix’s foreign-language content can be watched with local-language
dubbing, subtitled, or presented entirely in its original language. Toy
recommends Memrise students start a foreign-language binge with dubbing,
graduate to subtitles, and eventually give it a go in the original language.
