Learning languages by watching movies without translation.

This app is originally written to help my girlfriend study English. I think it is more productive to glance at the list of words used in the movie beforehand and look at the translation of unfamiliar ones, instead of stopping in the middle to look up some word. App provides a list of unique words with they ubiquity and the context in a phrase.
