Meet your new language Tutor on Chrome

Learning a new language is fun. But it can be much more fun if complimented with this language tutor tool on chrome. There are of course several activities that will usher you into learning a new language like podcasts and watching TV and movie channel in the language of choice.

However, If you think youre not making the desired progress at learning your targeted language, then this chrome app is for you, Ill like you to acknowledge with me a chrome app called Language Immersion for Chrome (LI). LI will easily get you started learning a new language and as well keep you up with knowledge you already have on a language until you master it.

To get started, simply help the language tutor app understand your level of understanding of the targeted language by rating your fluency which is from novice to proficient.

LI will integrate language phrases and words from your chosen language into the web pages you visit on a daily basis, the chrome tool depends on Google translator which provides translation in up to 64 languages.
Download the language immersion for chrome and install on your PC, subsequently, youll see an icon that appears by the right side of the URL bar, simply click on that icon to choose your targeted language and choose how well you can speak the language and youre set for learning.

The tool will slip into the websites you visit a couple of your chosen language, you can easily change the whole page back to primary language in case you get stuck, also available is an option to translate slipped in phrases with voice translation from Google translate.

As your performance improves more phrases are translated into your targeted language until youre able to translate a whole in the targeted language yourself which might mean fluency.

The tool may not be all you need to learn a new language, but it sure can compliment your learning efforts and make learning that language easier and much more faster.
