Extension summary

Understanding language opens the world. Learning a foreign language will help you understand an entire population otherwise inaccessible. Language experts believe the best way to learn vocabulary is by reading -- a lot more fun than the memorizing vocabulary lists. However, reading can be hard when you don't understand many of the words.

Use the Reading Vocabulary Extension to help you understand and learn vocabulary. Whenever you select a word (double click) the extension will present a list of possible translations. You choose the word that best fits the context, and the extension stores the native and foreign words.

After looking up 5 words, the extension will give you a quick matching quiz to review the words that you have learned. Simply drag and drop the matching words and then return to your reading. This quick review will make your reading maximally productive!
