FluentKey is a site for students to improve their listening and speaking through interactive videos. We have hundreds of fun, engaging videos in the world’s most popular languages. Your teacher will find the perfect video for you to watch that's just the right topic and difficulty. Use clickable captions, built-in quizzes, arcade-style games, and other cool tools to help you understand the video even better!

FluentKey can be used as a class activity, independent practice, or homework. With Live Mode, your teacher can even turn video-watching into a fun classroom game!

Your teacher will send you an invite link to join a class. After you click the link, you'll be asked to make an account and will then be added into the class. Make sure to sign up as a student!

We highly recommend that students use a Google or Facebook account to sign up if they have one.

You'll know that you've finished an assignment when the "Assignment Completed" window pops up.

For assign to watch videos, make sure to watch the entire video straight through from start to finish. Don't skip ahead!

What don’t we have? Movies, TV, music, news, documentaries, commercials, interviews, viral clips… we’ve got it all. Our videos are authentic and curated specifically for language learners at all levels.

Your teacher can also upload his or her own videos to FluentKey. So the specific videos you will be watching depends on what you teacher assigns.

Yes. When assigning a video, your teacher has two different options: assign to watch and assign with quiz.

When you're assigned a video to watch, you complete the assignment just by watching the entire video from start to finish.

When you assigned a video with a quiz, you complete the assignment by watching the video and also answering embedded comprehension questions as you watch.

FluentKey quizzes are embedded inside the video. When you watch a video, interactive comprehension questions will pop up every so often (i.e. after key scenes). You'll get instant feedback for each question, as well as an overall quiz score.

Most of our videos already include built-in comprehension quizzes. Press the "Launch Assignment" button to get started! Not only do you get to watch cool videos at home or in class, you can also track your own understanding.

Our quizzes are divided into three different types. Computer-graded quizzes include comprehension questions with fixed answers, like multiple choice, matching, and put in order. Written quizzes have questions that require students to produce short answer written responses. Spoken quizzes have questions that ask students to record audio or video responses.

Note: Quizzes with a range of different types of questions are labeled as mixed quizzes.

If your teacher has FluentKey Pro and enabled the multiple attempts option, yes. However, this option is only available for computer-graded questions. Short answer, video, or audio responses cannot be resubmitted.

Yes! Spoken quizzes have questions that you will respond to by uploading audio or video recordings in the language you're learning.
