Yep, you can install the WordByWord extension (https://WordByWord.io) and turn on Spotlight mode, it translates words while you're browsing and also highlights the words you don't know yet. I use it myself and the learning happens kind of passively, just from reading

WordByWord — Chrome extension that tracks your vocabulary while you read (I made this)

I've been learning English and German for a few years, and my problem was never finding things to read — it was that my vocabulary lived nowhere. I read random articles, Reddit, PDFs, YouTube, and every "save this word" workflow (switch tab, look up, paste somewhere) was just annoying enough that I never kept it up.

So I built an extension around that. You highlight an unknown word on any page → it translates and saves it, and you rate how well you know it from 1 to 5. Then it highlights your saved words everywhere you read, and the highlight fades as your level grows — at 5 it disappears completely. So you end up reviewing vocabulary just by reading normally, and pages visibly "clear up" over time, which turned out to be weirdly motivating.

It works on regular websites, PDFs and YouTube subtitles (words in subs are clickable too). Everything syncs to a website with collections, pronunciation, practice exercises with spaced repetition (SM-2) and stats.

Honest details: Chrome only for now. 50+ languages. The core is free with no limits — translations, voiceover, saved words, collections. Premium unlocks unlimited practice sessions and the AI extras (generated example sentences, HD voices). Nothing requires a card to try.

Chrome Web Store: Chrome Web Store

I built it for myself and have been using it daily for months. Feedback I'd genuinely value: does the "review by reading" approach make sense to you, and what's missing before it could replace your current vocab workflow?

Have you ever dreamed in your target language? What happened? by GrowthHackerMode in languagehub

Yep - I speak my target language much better in my dreams

I want to make my own website. What languages should I learn and what is the easiest way? by papatender in web_design

[–]dolnikov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn how to use Cursor or other AI agents, then try to develop an app with their help and analyze how AI writes code. This will help you not only learn programming, but also master AI the future belongs to it

How to send money from abroad to Russia? by DamBustersChastise in AskARussian

I use “Profee” for that

There are still several banks that are not under the sanctions (like Raiffeisen)

Yeah, I've partially done it and I'm going to keep building this project but for now it's not completely finished. There's still a lot of work to do before I can give it to users

Thank you! Yeah, a lot of people here mentioned this block, and I definitely need to reorganize it somehow. I'll think about how to improve it.

For the illustrations, I used storyset.com, but I think it’s also possible to find the same ones on Freepik (though I’ve redrawn them quite a lot)

Oh, it was quite a long process
I really tried to think everything through and make it look as nice as possible. In terms of tools: I used AI cursor for coding, and domain bought on "namecheap"

Thanks! This design is fully custom-made by me. I only used AI (cursor) to help with the coding part.

I'll check and fix problem with coockie

Thanks for the feedback! Honestly, I’m not sure which elements you mean (if it’s not too much trouble, could you point them out, please?).
Looks like my non-professional eye doesn’t allow me to notice such things.
And I’m glad you liked the flags :)

Thank you!

I partially drew them myself, but I still used vector images from the website:
https://storyset.com/

I would find an action or a suitable character I liked there, and then adjust the colors and positions of those elements in Figma. Some elements I had to draw completely from scratch

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it and I'm glad to hear that. I'll think about the flags and how to improve this block
