Smart! Any plans to work with multiple languages? I'm an English-speaker, and I'd love something similar in the other direction.
I do this process by downloading subtitles automatically with http://subdownloader.net/ or manually from http://www.opensubtitles.org/en and then play the tv series directly on the tv. It's of course less advanced than this (but more easy/enjoyable). I think this approach could be good at the beginning of the learning process (i.e. I've just begun studyin' French and it's too difficult for me to watch a movie with fr…
A Linux version isn't too far away either - there simply hasn't been much demand for it yet.

(http://flagsarenotlanguages.com/blog/why-flags-do-not-repres...) is a starting point.
Basically
- some languages are spoken in more than one country (eg. English in US, Britain, Australia, India)
- some countries have more than one language spoken in them (eg. see any large country)
- you will end up accidentally annoying people when you accidentally get it wrong. (is Cantonese, Tibetan and Mongolian the same language as Mandarin? You realise they are not mutually intelligible and come from different language families?)
I suggest you write the language name in the language itself. If you desperately need something short use the Unicode language codes.
Edit: Really like it. Definitely continue.
