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.
Yabla immerses learners in the language through a vast library of authentic videos, including everything from TV shows and music videos to interviews. Its standout feature is a unique video player with clickable, dual-language subtitles, slow-motion playback, and looping functions that make native-level content accessible. Integrated games reinforce vocabulary and comprehension from the videos. It is an exceptional tool for intermediate to advanced learners looking to sharpen their listening skills, but it is not a structured, A-to-Z course for beginners.
Busuu offers well-structured courses that balance vocabulary, grammar, and practical application. Its standout feature is the integrated community, where learners can submit writing and speaking exercises for feedback from native speakers. While the core curriculum provides a solid foundation from beginner to intermediate levels, the quality and speed of community feedback can vary. The app's speech recognition tool is functional but not its main strength, making Busuu a strong choice for those who appreciate guided learning supplemented by human interaction.
