| 2024-10-22 | Jessica | | Muito legal a extensão. Você coloca ela e acessa seus sites normalmente, dai uma ou outra palavra ali no meio ele vai traduzir e exibir a palavra em inglês. Você clica na palavra em inglês e se já souber você marca o ✓ (já sei essa) e se não pode adicionar nas sua lista de palavras para treinar, além de conseguir ouvir a pronúncia dela ali mesmo. E você ainda pode fazer as lições que ele tem para aprender palavras novas por tema. Muito interessante! |
| 2024-10-14 | Kevin | | A good extension, but it does have a tendency to get homonyms wrong. For example, the sentence "He never looked back" became "He nunca looked espalda." The word espalda means back, as in the part of your body. However, in this context, the appropriate word would be atrás, meaning back as in behind. The full sentence is "nunca miró hacia atrás". |
| 2024-09-10 | Caleb | | So. This is most DEFINITLY NOT a rip-off of Duolingo. But I'll give some credit, I like the idea of a toucan better than a creepy owl. 💀 |
| 2024-08-06 | Alexis | | pretty good extension I'm using it to help with my german skills when im not of duolingo the practice is a bit glitchy though wont let me practice |
| 2024-07-16 | Deacon | | Very useful if you're at an intermediate level with a language and you want to learn new vocabulary, but not especially useful if you are at the beginning and still learning how the language works. Learning new words in isolation like this is not terribly helpful if you're still new to understanding how sentences are constructed. Would be a lot more useful if it could translate an entire sentence. Also, you can't complete the progress tasks because there's no info on the site about any sort of Premium plan (the link just goes to your account settings) and the FAQ and Contact Us links go to broken pages. Great concept and has potential but current state makes it of limited value until you're further along in your learning. |
| 2024-06-10 | Asha | | i want to learn Africans but it doesnt have that as an option. im sure that it is very usefull though |
| 2024-05-13 | Patrick | | Helpful addon but malwarebytes reported 10 malware threats since installing this addon, all over my pc. That's a massive red flag. |
| 2024-03-15 | Marget | | I hope all is well with you. I'm currently exploring avenues to enhance my business portfolio through strategic investments in Chrome extensions, and I've been particularly impressed with yours. I believe there's a tremendous opportunity for growth and would love to discuss the possibility of acquisition.
