NativeLingo vs Toucan

Both are Chrome extensions that swap words on the pages you read. The difference is what happens to the word after you see it.

Three things that work differently

The form matches

A dictionary swap would show “libro”. You’d be learning a mistake without knowing it.

two libros

You type, not tap

Recognising a word and recalling it are different skills. The review trains the harder one.

window → ventana

Nothing leaves the browser

NativeLingo only records which word you were shown, never the page or its address.

0 pages sent

Switching takes two minutes.

Turn Toucan off, install NativeLingo, take the level test. Your first swapped words show up on the next article you open.

Not directly yet. You can add words by hand in the word list, or let NativeLingo pick them up again as you read.
