How NeonLingo works

NeonLingo works on the pages you already read — news, blogs, documentation, and forums.

01

Read what you already read

You browse normally. NeonLingo runs quietly in the background on any webpage.

02

Translate any word, instantly

You select a word you don't know, and NeonLingo shows its translation right on the page, in 30 languages. No copy-paste, no separate tab.

03

Words save themselves, then come back

NeonLingo saves every word you look up to your wordbook automatically, then highlights it wherever it appears next — so you meet it again in real context until it sticks.

Bilingual Reading

Meet new words on the native-language pages you already read

NeonLingo swaps select words on the native-language pages you already read into your target language, choosing words one step above your level (the comprehensible-input idea from linguist Stephen Krashen). New vocabulary sinks in through real reading, not separate study sessions.

AI is advancing rapidly, and many companies are investing heavily in new tecnologías.

Smart targeting

NeonLingo picks words based on your level, so each swapped word sits one step above what you already know.

Context-based memory

NeonLingo keeps the rest of the sentence in your native language, so you infer each new word from context instead of memorizing a definition.

Frictionless learning

NeonLingo needs no separate vocabulary app — reading the news or any webpage becomes language practice inside the browser you already use.

AI language learning, as you read

NeonLingo turns the foreign-language pages you already read into AI language learning. Select any word to see its translation on the spot; NeonLingo saves it to your wordbook, then highlights it again wherever it reappears. Sign in to use FSRS flashcards across devices. Free to start, in 30 languages.

Reading mode · free · any webpage

Reading mode (free), Translate, auto-save, and re-highlight every word you read

NeonLingo's Reading mode lets you select any word on a foreign-language page and see its translation instantly. NeonLingo saves every word you look up to your wordbook automatically and highlights it again on any page where it reappears, so repeated exposure does the remembering for you. Reading mode is free and works on any webpage in 30 languages.

Instant selection translation

NeonLingo translates any word the moment you select it, right on the page you are reading.

Automatic wordbook

NeonLingo saves every word you look up to your wordbook automatically — up to 200 words free and 500 on Premium.

Review with highlights across the web

NeonLingo highlights every saved word whenever it reappears on any page, so you review through repeated exposure instead of flashcard sessions.

Why it works: exposure isn't enough

Most vocabulary tools stop at the lookup. You translate a word, feel good, and forget it a week later.

NeonLingo is built around retention, not just exposure. Research on vocabulary acquisition is consistent: words stick through spaced repetition — meeting them again at increasing intervals. NeonLingo creates that repetition for you by highlighting your saved words across every site you visit.

No flashcard app to open. No forced study. The web you already read becomes the review.

The only way humans acquire languageis by receivingcomprehensible input

Krashen's i + 1 theory and NeonLingo

Professor Krashen argues that true acquisition happens only when learners receive language input slightly above their current level (i+1). NeonLingo is designed around exactly this principle.

Reviews of NeonLingo

Driving a revolution in language learning through technological innovation, helping every user understand and learn foreign languages more easily with our extension.

Developer

As a developer, I read a huge amount of English documentation every day. NeonLingo makes unfamiliar words feel much less intimidating. The selection translation is smooth, and automatic saving removes a lot of manual organization.

AOKO
Test prep student

I'm preparing for IELTS, and the review feature is excellent. Words I've looked up before get highlighted when they appear again on other pages. Seeing them repeatedly in different contexts is far more effective than rote memorization.

Olivia
ADHD learner

As someone with ADHD, repetitive word memorization feels exhausting. NeonLingo surfaces English words in a natural, repeated way, which helps me stay focused and keep learning without feeling drained.

Anonymous user
Fiction reader

I can pick up English vocabulary while reading web novels because the translations stay natural and fit the context. Best of all, the atmosphere of the story stays intact while I am still learning.

Niko, fiction reader
International student

Bilingual Reading feels almost magical. I usually read tech blogs in my native language, and NeonLingo swaps technical terms into English automatically. I end up picking up natural expressions without feeling like I'm studying.
