🎓 WHY FLASHSPANISH?
Traditional approach: Read Spanish → see unknown word → open Google Translate → type word → translate → close tab → forget what you translated → repeat 20+ times per article.
FlashSpanish approach: Hover → instant translation → keep reading → remember the word.

- Works wonderfully easy to view words and so easy to say them as well as you can go check which words you eneded help on to practice them!
- Ivo Elenchev
- This is the best extension of its kind. I'm a complete beginner and barely know 1000 spanish words, so I can only read spanish content geared towards learners which is usually repetative & boring. With this extension I can read spanish content that I actually find interesting while learning new words through the flashcard integration.
- Josh Mangan
- Fast, useful, and unobtrusive. This is excellent for learning without having to constantly switch tabs. And being able to export words to Anki is brilliant work.
