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.

Rocket Languages provides comprehensive, multi-level courses that aim to cover all aspects of a language, from grammar and vocabulary to culture. The core of its methodology is interactive audio lessons that break down conversations. These are supplemented with reinforcement activities, including speaking practice with voice recognition and grammar lessons. Offering lifetime access with a single one-time purchase, it is a robust option for serious learners who prefer a structured, in-depth course over a gamified app.
