the toucan extension hangs out with you while you surf the web and randomly translates words on the page to the language you want to learn. well, the process is not quite random because toucan knows your language level and chooses words and phrases that help you level up without having to make a conscious effort to start a lesson. it’s free for the basic level or about five bucks a month for more language training and games. and the little toucan mascot is adorable.
