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.

Flowently is a service that connects language learners with tutors for live conversation practice in realistic settings. The premise is to learn by doing, with sessions often taking place in cafes, markets, or online, focused on a specific task like ordering food or asking for directions. It is an excellent way to build conversational confidence and apply learned knowledge in an authentic context. It operates on a pay-per-session basis and is best for supplementing other study methods with practical speaking experience.
