Learn a new language just by browsing the internet.
Toucan helps you learn a new language while you browse the web. No classes, flash cards or study sessions. Just sign up and go about your day like normal.
How it works

Portuguese
Italian
Arabic
Chinese (Mandarin)
Hebrew
Hindi

*************** YOUR PRIVACY IS TOUCAN’S TOP PRIORITY ***************
When you add Toucan, it says that we can “read and change all your data on the websites you visit.” That’s only partially true. A more accurate description is that it allows Toucan to translate the words you see on a webpage into the language you’re trying to learn. While we’re sure you’re a super interesting person, we do not have any interest in tracking what you search for or what you buy. It’s just not our thing.

- Hanson,
- Good! Easy to navigate and good for added practice while doing everyday task. An option to adjust the volume of the extension would be nice instead of having to turn down the volume on my computer. I'm using this along with the Language Transfer course which is FREE! This is not to be used alone but it's helpful for those days when you don't feel like studying!

- 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!

- 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".

- 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. 💀
- 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
- 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.

- Até agora, tem e mostrado inútil. Abro uma página de uma publicação em Inglês (por exemplo) e não acontece absolutamente nada. Não há qualquer explicação de como o aplicativo deveria funcionar.

- I have to admire this learning method and hope to increase the ability for Chinese users to learn English.
- C19755395
- I set that I am a beginner. However, it keeps translating words for an advanced level; I'm mostly busy deleting words and phrases they keep translating, although I have no use for them, such as "political career". I can hardly add any new words to the ones I want to learn or remember. There is no option to add words by oneself; one can only wait that they, by chance, to translate a word that could be useful.
- Bashar
- so far so good but the sidebar that shows up every time i save a word is very annoying! and i can't find an option to turn it off, hopefully this change soon

- I speak Chinese and I want to learn English, it can't.居然没有中文母语选项，特地登录来评价。

- 中文母语，不能学英文，什么垃圾软件
- 源
- Great. Minus two star because there is no native Chinese version.
- Marion
- Toucan is great for adding to vocabulary! By substituting words in the text language with words from the target language, I'm learning new things every day! I have it set for advanced, and that's so helpful! Thanks, Toucan, for making language-learning fun!
- Long,
- Toucan is an awesome and effective language-learning tool that not only translates the language of your choice but allows you to practice word recognition and proper pronunciation of each new word. Toucan works, and the Add-on is quite convenient. All you have to do is browse the sites you normally visit.
- 小川
- Great. Minus one star because there is no native Chinese version.
- Ischtar
- Neuerdings ***** ständig beim Aufruf einer neuen Seite, auch bei jeder Suche in der Suchmaschine, gleich die Einstellungsleiste mit auf und verdeckt diese teilweise. Das nervt extrem! Kann man das irgendwie abstellen?
- sam
- I love having Toucan on my laptop because I really want to become fluent in Spanish and Toucan has helped me to learn to translate words from English to Spanish easier

- Fantastic add in to easily practice a new language. I'm excited to build my vocabulary in a natural way as I got about my regular browsing. Thank you Toucan fam!
- Hilda
- Just like another reviewer said, this has such a smooth easy transition to learn key phrases while seamlessly surfing the web. I honestly wish I knew about this sooner... they should have advertised it more or something. I only knew about it when I downloaded the dark reader extension. I like how there's the option to take a break and hit pause - unlike in duolingo, I don't think there's that option which is why there's the 'meme' of the mascot annoying you 24/7 in notifications lol. 😂 All in all, I and everyone else who has experienced this extension greatly appreciate the work that has been done to make this learning experience possible over the net. You can see the context of the words and overtime learn lots of vocabulary which is key to learning words in the long term. I really wish I knew of this sooner, kudos to the team for the extension/app!! 😃😁🎉💗💗 This reminds me of the app "drops" but even better since it's more than 5 minutes, and can virtually learn many more.
- Brandon
- This is a really fun and slick way of introducing a new language into everyday tasks. That being said, I think the fact that Russian isn't a language option blew it for me. I will use the extension more when Russian is included. WE NEED MORE LANGUAGE OPTIONS!
