Use Google Chrome to learn foreign languages when browsing the web
To learn a good language, you can spend a lot of money on domestic and overseas courses. If your finances are tight and you don't want to spend any money, or want to experience new ways to replace or supplement traditional learning.
Just visit websites with Google Chrome and with the help of the following specialized language utilities you can learn when browsing the web in the browser.
Language Immersion for Chrome (LIC):
This utility has the function of randomly switching words from within the website you visit to another language that you have previously selected. It supports 64 languages supported by Google Translate . We already know Google Translate is a useful tool for learning foreign languages and LIC is a very good extension to prove it. You can set the level of proficiency in the language you are learning and the language to translate. If necessary, you can look through the translated words and the original words for comparison.
The details page of this add-on also informs that it supports the standard pronunciation feature, although this feature is available at times. Perhaps this is the reason why the developers of the utility say this is a trial version and the results may be inaccurate. However, this is an interesting and quite useful utility, so you should also try to use it to support your language learning.

Flewent:
It works similarly to the LIC utility by converting a number of words in the English website into the language you selected earlier. One of the differences is that in LIC you can set up three levels of language proficiency, with Flewent, you can only set the percentage of conversions.
Custom Convert Percentage determines the percentage of words translated. You can click on the translated word and see the original word in English. Flewent is also faster than LIC while translating from English to other languages and vice versa.
Note that Flewent only works on websites with English language.

Speed Learning:
Is a little known Chrome extension on the Web Store. It is a simple utility that allows you to save newly learned words and combine them with the Google Spreadsheet spreadsheet. When you see a sentence with words, you can right-click on the sentence and save the selected text to Google Docs. You can focus on one word in the sentence and use the sentence structure to find out its meaning in context. You will see a document file named SL_vocabulary in Google Drive.
If you like, you can print this spreadsheet or send it to another mobile device to support language learning while on the road.

Foreign Language Pad:
Another way to improve your language is to participate in writing on forums. However, writing in another language can cause some difficulties, especially if you don't regularly write. To fix that problem, use the Foreign Language Pad utility.
After installation, the extension allows you to use a translation tool, find the meaning of a word in the dictionary, check the pronunciation as well as the sentence structure and they are only in a single window. So, without having to leave the site you are viewing, you can still write any language you want.
If you need to see detailed information on how to use it, just go to the Help tab of the utility window.
