Absolute BEHEMOTH of a tool. This is THE most essential tool for language learning ever made. If you're interested in second language acquisition, this tool, especially when used to its full potential with all the myriad of quirks and in combination with other tools that enable you to use it for every media format, not just web text, is such a massive game changer that it makes any previous language learning without it feel utterly bizarre and crazy. So anyway, it freaking SLAPS, get it right now:D Especially if you learn Japanese or Chinese. There are a lot of guides on how to utilise it to its full potential. Huge thanks to all the developers of Yomitan who keep the legacy of Yomichan alive. You all are LEGENDS!:)
