One of the big advantages of internet is clearly its flexibility. Not only that you can choose when and where and what you want to see; you can also adjust the audio, namely, the language.

I like watching Netflix with subtitles to expand my foreign language skills. Unfortunately, however, there aren’t many Arabic subtitles available. But there is a nice solution to fix it as we will now examine.

You are lucky: Netflix offers it

This always works not matter where you live. It is completely free and legal.

You need to use Chrome as a browser and follow these steps:

STEP 1: Download the extension OpenSubtitles from the Chrome Webstore

Add Arabic subtitles on Netflix: A simple guide 11

For many (I’d say almost all popular TV series) there are ARABIC subtitles available on subflicks.com:

  • Breaking Bad
  • Orange is the New Black
  • Stranger Things
  • Fargo
  • How to get away with murder

By the way – this also works for other languages such as Hebrew, Russian, or Mandarin Chinese.

Do you know any better justification for binge-watching than saying that you are actually studying Arabic? ;-)

Dear,

Compliments for this fantastic website!

I was curious if there are Arabic series available, which offer Arabic subtitles with it. For example, my favorite show is ุณุฌู† ุงู„ู†ุณุงุก, yet understanding every word as a Dutch native is hard! I reckoned that hearing and reading the text would help a lot in my progress. Any idea?

Best,
Mina

I doubt you’ll find that, as almost all Arabic productions don’t care for the subtitles, and also, the production is usually in a local dialect, not the standard Arabic (fus’ha)…
