- I've been using Vocabkit for my German studies and it has really changed my pace a lot! I don't need to change tabs and write words or copy-paste them. I would recommend this extension to everyone practicing a foreign language. It will definitely help you a lot. Seeing the words in sentences and also in English helps to learn them better and easier. Vocabkit also has a memory for the words you look up, so that you can remember them later. My best friend for the language learning journey.
