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.

Speechling is a non-profit platform singularly focused on improving spoken fluency and pronunciation. The method is simple yet effective: you listen to a sentence from a native speaker, record yourself saying it, and submit your recording for feedback from a human coach. This targeted approach provides personalized corrections that automated speech recognition cannot offer. It is not a comprehensive course for learning a language from scratch, but rather an invaluable tool for learners who have a basic foundation and want to refine their accent and conversational confidence.

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.
