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.

Quizlet is a widely-used educational app that simplifies studying through flashcards, quizzes, and games. Its primary strength lies in its massive library of user-generated study sets for a wide variety of subjects, including languages. While it offers a "Learn" mode that spaces reviews, its algorithm is generally considered less rigorous than dedicated SRS tools like Anki. Quizlet is excellent for quick vocabulary review and its game-like modes make practice more engaging, serving as an accessible option for learners who find other systems too complex.
