Word of The Hour Extension

Word of the Hour offers a browser extension to help expand your vocabulary. Every hour, a new vocabulary word is featured along with translations into 10+ languages including French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and more.

We created this extension because learning a language is difficult and it requires a constant effort to learn, practice, and improve. Seeing vocabulary words every time that you browse the internet is just one extra push to motivate you to practice.

We are supported by our warm and welcoming community on Reddit. We take suggestions from the community and allow community members to get involved to help improve our translations. We also welcome any comments that provide corrections, clarifications, alternative translations, usage in a sentence, conjugations, or anything that is relevant and helpful. Join us @ https://www.reddit.com/r/Word_of_The_Hour/

It's important to keep in mind that word to word translations are not perfect. We really rely on our community members to fill in gaps and add additional information. We especially encourage users to use multiple language learning resources and practice regularly.

Thank you for trying out our extension and we welcome you to join our community and contribute!

(ID: ) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/31/2018 I like it. It does what it says. It's pretty simple. It's not the prettiest to look at if you have other extensions installed though. I wish it had an icon and not the scrolling text. Another thing that I wish was that you could narrow it down to only show the languages that you actually are looking for. If I am trying to learn 1 language, I don't care about what the word means in those other 8 or 9 languages. I wish I could hide those and only see the word translation in 1 language.
