## What it is
A browser extension that helps users learn languages naturally while browsing the web, based on the comprehensible input theory. It provides smart in-page translation, pronunciation support, and theme-adaptive learning overlays.

## Use cases
- learn a language while browsing the web
- translate web pages inline for language learning
- practice reading with comprehensible input
- get AI-assisted translations of foreign text on websites
- see pronunciations for foreign words while reading
- immersive second-language reading practice

## When to choose
- you want to learn a language passively during everyday web browsing
- you prefer in-context translations over switching to a dictionary app
- you want a free, open-source alternative to immersive translate tools

## When to avoid
- you need offline translation without any AI/API configuration
- you need structured courses or grammar lessons rather than reading support
- you need a mobile-only learning app
