About LinguaLayer - Learn Languages as You Browse
LinguaLayer - Learn Languages While You Browse
Turn every webpage into a language lesson. LinguaLayer replaces common English words with their Japanese, Spanish, French, or Korean equivalents as you read naturally — and now lets you study at your CEFR level (A1 through C2).
HOW IT WORKS
- Words on every page you visit are subtly swapped to your target language
- Substituted words appear in blue with a dotted underline
- Hover over any word to see the original English, translation, and pronunciation
- Adjust the intensity slider to control how many words get replaced
- Pick the CEFR levels you're studying — beginner (A1) through proficient (C2)
FEATURES
- Four languages: Japanese, Spanish, French, and Korean — 9,000+ words each
- CEFR-level filtering so you only see words at your difficulty
- Adjustable word intensity from 5% to 20% (up to 50% with Pro)
- Smart substitution that skips code blocks, input fields, and scripts
- Hover tooltips showing English original, translation, and romaji/pronunciation
- Works on every website automatically
- Toggle on/off with one click from the popup
WHY IT WORKS
Research shows that contextual learning - encountering new words in familiar settings - dramatically improves vocabulary retention. Instead of dedicated study sessions, you absorb new words while reading articles, browsing social media, or checking email. Choosing your CEFR level keeps every substitution at a difficulty you can actually learn from.
CEFR LEVELS
- Free plan: A1, A2, and B1 — about 1,600 everyday words
- Pro plan: B2, C1, and C2 — unlocks 8,000+ advanced and specialty words
PRO UPGRADE
- All six CEFR levels (A1 through C2)
- Higher intensity settings (up to 50% word replacement)
- One-time purchase, no subscription
