Description

Description

Readlang helps you learn a language by reading authentic content from across the web. As a browser extension and web app, it allows you to click on any word or phrase you don’t know on a webpage to get an instant translation. These translated words are automatically saved as flashcards for later review via spaced repetition. It is an exceptional tool for intermediate-to-advanced learners looking to transition to native materials and expand their vocabulary contextually, but it is primarily a reading and vocabulary tool with no speaking component.

Coffee Break Languages offers language learning through a podcast format, making it exceptionally accessible. Lessons are structured into seasons that progress in difficulty, moving from beginner to advanced topics. The host acts as a teacher guiding a student, which creates a natural and comprehensible learning dynamic. While the free podcast is excellent for improving listening skills, active speaking and writing practice are minimal unless you purchase the supplementary premium courses.
