Additionally, you will see a few examples of the application of the word.

Language Immersion for Chrome

Absolutely magnificent extension struck me simple, but at the same time an original approach to language learning. It simply selectively replaces some of the words you're viewing on the foreign page. So you will easily read what you're interested in, but some of the words in each sentence will be in the target language of your choice. In summing up the mouse to such a word will sound its pronunciation, and will reverse replacement when clicked.

The percentage of foreign words, which will appear in the text, you can set in the settings, but here select which language you are studying at the moment. Unfortunately, as the main language in this extension is rigidly fixed English, so that it is suitable only those who are already well-owns it and is going to study further French, German, Spanish, and so on list.

After installing ReadLang open in browser any article in a foreign language. Then click on the expand button and the text of the page is displayed to you in an easy to read, cleared of all superfluous form. In this case, you need to specify the language of this page.

You are viewing the text and as the discovery of new unfamiliar words you click on them with the mouse, the result immediately in the text of the translation appears. But other than that, the fuller meaning of each word that you selected can be viewed in a special panel that is displayed in the right pane. It also saves all the new words of the text with the ability to listen to their sound.

To view this ReadLang require registration on its home page. Take it one minute, because as a result you get a convenient way to save their articles in my personal library, and even follow-up work with the selected words as you can easily remember cards.
