LUME: Learn Languages & Vocabulary for Free - 1.5.5

LUME: Your Language Breakthrough

📖 Why I created LUME
I got tired of popular language apps that turn learning into an endless game for "leagues" and "gems" without providing real knowledge. I wanted a tool that wouldn't steal my time but would work effectively and quietly in the background.

That’s how LUME was born — a completely free, non-commercial project created for those who want results, not just a pretty icon on their home screen. It’s a powerful alternative to Duolingo or Busuu, but without the ads, subscriptions, or unnecessary fluff.

🎯 How it works
LUME integrates directly into your daily workflow. You don’t need to set aside special time for studying — the extension does the work for you.

- Micro-learning every 15 minutes: The extension gently opens a card with a new word. You spend 10 seconds reviewing it and go right back to what you were doing. It’s learning that’s impossible to quit.
- Smart Pause: We respect your time. If you step away from your computer or already have a training tab open, LUME won’t spam you with new windows. The timer simply pauses.
- Spaced Repetition (SRS): The system automatically identifies which words you struggle with and shows them more often. Difficult words are mastered forever, while easy ones don't get in your way.

📊 Massive Knowledge Base: We’ve prepared structured dictionaries for you, divided by difficulty levels: A0 (Beginner), A1 (Elementary), and A2 (Pre-Intermediate). Thousands of hand-picked words at your fingertips.

🌍 Support for 6 Key Languages
Learn the language you want using the one you're comfortable with. Each dictionary includes translations and descriptions in:

- English
- Russian
- Español (Spanish)
- Deutsch (German)
- Français (French)
- Italiano (Italian)

🛠 Key Features:
User-Friendly Accordions: Your entire word base is organized by levels in the settings. You can track your progress for each level individually.

Contextual Translation: Reading an article and see a great word? Highlight it, right-click, and add it to your personal LUME dictionary with one click.

Progress Indicators: Special dots on each card visually show your mastery level for every single word.

Privacy & Sync: Your progress is stored securely in your Google account. We don’t collect your personal data and we sell nothing.

🚀 This is just the beginning!
LUME is a growing project, and we are not stopping here. Our goal is to create the most convenient environment for language learning in the browser.
