A “LERNVIDEO” BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SWEET

Our popular Smart Skill instructional videos (“Lernvideo” in German—bet you didn’t know that) are going international! We’ve begun adding subtitles to several Smart Skills in German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese. (And English! We mustn’t forget English!) At last, non-English speakers and the hard of hearing can follow along with ease. 

Just click the Closed Captions icon on any of our Smart Skill videos and select the language you want. Happy Lernvideo-ing!



As a bonus, any Smart Skill hosted within Tech Community has the full transcript (in English) for quick reference. The transcript content is also searchable, so you may just see Smart Skills pop up in your search results!
