About
Kiku is a browser extension designed for language learners using the 'Primed Listening' technique by detecting when a subtitle ends and instantly pausing the video. This creates a momentary silence gap after every sentence, giving your brain the processing time it needs to decode the audio before the next line begins. Inspired by the 'Primed Listening' technique I learned from Matt vs Japan's Immersion Dojo community.
