Learn a new language the natural way

Toucan helps you absorb new languages naturally by blending them into your online activities. Because the more you see and hear a new language, the faster you learn it.

How it works ➤ Each time you visit a website, Toucan translates certain words and phrases into the language you’re trying to learn. That way, you can learn your new language using context clues in one you already know.

Available languages: English | Spanish | French | Japanese | German | Korean | Portuguese | Italian | Arabic | Chinese (Mandarin) | Hebrew | Hindi

Toucan’s Features The more you practice, the faster you learn. And everyone learns differently so, instead of quizzes, tests and grades, Toucan created a variety of features to give you fun micro-moments of learning throughout your day

➤ Shortcuts You don’t have to know every word of a language to be able to speak it. Toucan’s Shortcuts teach you words and phrases for common situations, like ordering food at a restaurant or finding the bathroom.
