What if binge-watching could make you bilingual? In this lightning talk, I'll share how I automated my journey to learning French using a technique called sentence mining. By combining tools like subtitle extraction, spaced repetition, and smart automation, I turned every video into a personalized language lesson — all without ever opening a textbook. Whether you're learning a language yourself or curious about building educational workflows, this talk will show you how tech can turn passive watching into active learning..
