Extension summary

The Word Sponge is a powerful and innovative Chrome extension that helps you naturally learn a new language as you browse the web. By seamlessly replacing words in your daily web browsing experience with their translations, you can progressively improve your language skills without disrupting your routine.

Automatically replace words in the webpages you visit with their translations in your target language, allowing you to learn through context and immersion. Click on translated words to toggle between the original and translated versions, so you can quickly recall the meaning and reinforce your learning.

For example, imagine you're learning Spanish. While reading an article about animals, you might come across the following sentence:

"The cat chased the dog through the park."

The Word Sponge would automatically replace some words with their Spanish translations:

"The gato chased the perro through the park."

As you continue browsing, you'll be exposed to more translated words, helping you learn Spanish vocabulary and grammar naturally and effortlessly.
