Toucan is a browser extension that helps users learn a new language passively while browsing the web. Instead of requiring structured lessons or separate study time, Toucan seamlessly integrates vocabulary learning into everyday online activity.
Once installed, users choose their target language, and Toucan automatically replaces certain words and phrases on the pages they visit with their translations. This immersive micro-learning approach allows users to absorb vocabulary in real-world context, making the process effortless and natural.
The extension also includes quizzes and minigames to reinforce learning and a progress tracking system that shows achievements and milestones.
With over 750,000 users and recognition as an Editor’s Choice on both Chrome and Microsoft Edge stores, Toucan stands out as a fun, science-backed way to make multilingual learning part of daily web use.
It’s available for free and supports multiple languages, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew, and Hindi.
