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.

HiNative functions as a global Q&A forum connecting language learners with native speakers. Instead of a structured course, it allows you to ask specific questions about vocabulary, sentence structure, pronunciation, and cultural nuances. Users can get quick corrections on their writing or upload audio to ask for pronunciation feedback. It is an invaluable utility for clarifying doubts and getting authentic input, but it is a supplement for learning, not a standalone course.

Beelinguapp facilitates language learning through reading with its unique side-by-side text display. Users can read stories, articles, and songs in their target language while having their native language visible for reference. Each text is accompanied by "karaoke-style" audio that highlights the words as they are spoken, enhancing both reading and listening comprehension. While it doesn't offer grammar instruction or speaking practice, it is an effective and engaging resource for learners who enjoy story-based content and want to build vocabulary in context.
