Netflix is known for its wide range of subtitle options, making it perfect for language learning. While Netflix subtitles are no substitute for a language course taught by a native speaker, there are many reasons to use Netflix subtitles. These include learning words in context, improving reading and listening skills, and improving vocabulary and pronunciation. You can freely select different subtitle languages while streaming Netflix content; however, when you download Netflix videos for offline playback, it only shows the 2 most relevant languages. To download Netflix videos with extra subtitle languages for offline viewing, here are 2 options.

Option 1. Download subtitles from Netflix using Google Chrome

1. Log in to Netflix in your Google Chrome browser.

2. Click the three-dots button to the right of the address bar and select More Tools > Developer Tools.
