Frequently asked questions

Private tutors, online ESL and EFL teachers, and small language schools – anyone teaching English as a foreign language. If you build lessons around YouTube videos for real students, and lose an hour or two on every one of them, Engible is for you.

Documentaries, interviews, talks, news, educational channels – anything in English with natural, real-world speech. Engible builds the lesson from the video's subtitles, so that is the one requirement, and videos like these almost always have them. If a video doesn't, Engible says so before it starts.

Engible is designed for B1 Intermediate and above, the level where authentic video content becomes a real teaching tool rather than a barrier.

A chat hands you text that you still have to turn into a lesson. Engible hands you the lesson: a transcript timed to the video, vocabulary taken from what is actually said, exercises that mark themselves, and a separate link for each student whose answers come back to you.

Yes – your first three lessons are free, no card needed. They're real lessons you can teach right away, not a stripped-down demo. If you like the results, you can then subscribe to Engible.

About two minutes. You paste the link, choose the length and the focus, and the work carries on server-side – close the tab if you like and the lesson will be waiting in your library.

Yes. Turn on custom vocabulary and Engible stops half-way: you get the transcript with its suggestions marked, and you pick the words and phrases yourself – add your own, drop the ones your student already knows. The exercises are then built around your list.

Yes. Hide whole blocks, switch off individual exercises, reorder them, rename the lesson – and preview exactly what your student will see before you send anything.

Yes. Create a separate link per student from the same lesson. Each link is its own assignment, so their answers come back to you separately – useful for a group, or for several one-to-one students working on the same material.

No account, and we never ask them for a name or an email – they open your link, do the exercises and submit. They see the video, the vocabulary and the exercises. The transcript is yours alone: it is never sent to their browser at all.
