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.

MosaLingua is built around a highly effective Spaced Repetition System (SRS) designed to help you learn and retain a large amount of vocabulary efficiently. The app prioritizes the most useful words and phrases to accelerate practical knowledge. While its core is flashcards, the platform also includes dialogues, articles, and other resources to add context. It is a powerful tool for learners dedicated to building a strong vocabulary foundation, though they will need to look elsewhere for structured grammar lessons or extensive conversation practice.
