If you have any feedback or questions, or find an incorrect or misleading sign, please email me at linus@signlearner.com :)

*************** About Privacy ***************
When you install Sign Learner, a message appears saying that the extension can “read and change all your data on the websites you visit.” - That's actually just the default permission required, specifically we need it to be able to identify the words on each webpage so that we can add in a sign to show you, and keep you learning. Sign learner does not track, use, or need any personal data from you :)

Victoria Castro (ID: 0000008a11669f51) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 It has being an awesome experience to have this extension on my computer. I get to learn one of two words per page on almost any website. And repeat words with mix new words , so you won't forget what you already learn and keep learning new ones. I love it and I highly recommend this extension. ♥

I've learned a bunch of new signs already and I love how it shows me signs more than once, I like to test myself and see if I remember them from the other times I've seen it.
