The Story

Two weeks into my Chinese learning journey, I found myself constantly rewinding YouTube videos to practice conversations. The process was tedious and interrupted my learning flow. I needed a simple solution that would:

  • Make it easy to loop specific parts of YouTube videos
  • Create shareable links for my Anki cards
  • Work directly in the browser without installations

So I built YouTube Video Looper - a free, browser-based tool that does exactly that!

How It Works

The process is straightforward:

  1. Paste any YouTube URL
  2. Set the start and end times of the conversation you want to practice
  3. Choose how many times you want it to loop
  4. Copy the shareable URL to use in your Anki cards

Choose exactly how many times you want the section to repeat. This helps with memorization and pronunciation practice.

📱 Cross-Platform Compatibility

🔗 Shareable URLs

Generate links that remember all your settings. These URLs are perfect for:

  • Adding to Anki cards
  • Sharing with language exchange partners
  • Bookmarking for future practice

Use Cases

While I built this tool primarily for Chinese language learning, it's versatile enough for:

  • Learning any language
  • Music practice
  • Speech analysis
  • Educational content review
  • Dance move practice
