Watching TV and movies with subtitles is a great way for intermediate language learners (B1 and above) to progress. Kudos to Mate for thinking of capturing this in Netflix with a browser add-on.
However, creating a flash card with a translation to your native language is not the best way to master vocabulary. A translation (or, "gloss") can be helpful initially, but it's more important to see the word in context.
It would be great if a browser extension would include spaced repetition / flash card creation of both production cards (sentence with a blank usually) and comprehension cards (the word alone) and pull up the original video frame for context whenever checking one's recall.
FD: I hold an MA in TESOL / applied linguistics / language acquisition, and I have several years' experience teaching ESL students. However, I am not yet fluent in my own second language (Russian). Working on that with the Fluent Forever methodology (though not their new app).
