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.

Lingopie champions the idea of learning a language through authentic media. The platform provides a library of TV shows and movies in your target language, enhanced with interactive dual-language subtitles. Users can click on any word for an instant translation and add it to a flashcard deck for later review. It excels at improving listening comprehension and exposing learners to natural dialogue and culture. While it promotes passive learning and lacks structured grammar or dedicated speaking components, it is an excellent and engaging resource for intermediate learners.
