This is a neat idea, I can see someone learning to recognize words and associate meaning to those words in a language they don't know.

Thank you! I initially built it for my personal use to learn and practice Hebrew vocabulary, and that's exactly how it helped me :)

I really like this extension, but can you restrict it to only a small subset of words that grows over time? If I see lots of different words, I'll forget them, but if I see the same words over time, I'll remember them.

Thank you!!

And thanks for the feedback! We are building 2 things to address this:

1. A learning tree to progressively learn more complex words or verb tenses.

2. Word density options, so you can decide how much brain power you want to put into learning the language during each day.

I’ve been using your product for a few days and it’s so cool. Just wanted to report two bugs quickly. It seems like the popover doesn’t appear consistently on HN, and לומר is not being pronounced correctly.

EDIT: So sorry – I was wrong about the word – it's being pronounced correctly!
