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.

FlashAcademy provides a modern and gamified learning experience aimed at beginner learners and school-aged children. Its standout feature is an object scanner that uses your phone's camera to identify items and provide translations. The app offers a structured path of short lessons, games, and leaderboards to keep users motivated. While it's very engaging for building foundational vocabulary, it lacks the depth required for intermediate or advanced progression.
