I've been using the extension for a few weeks now and it works great. The only thing I wish is that there was Russian. I have been using it for German and it is definitely helping to retain words. I would love to use it for Russian also. My wife and her family are all Russian and I have been trying to learn so that I can communicate with her family. It's hard and having that extra exposure is crucial in retaining words.

@john_hayes2 Except for having used the extension, exact same situation and request! Russian would be great!
Taylor Nieman
@john_hayes2 @geffrey Russian, Korean and Japanese are coming very soon! 🇷🇺 😊 ❤️

@john_hayes2 @geffrey @taylor_nieman +1 for Russian support.. is there any way to get notified when a new language becomes available?
Taylor Nieman
@john_hayes2 @geffrey @marawan_1997 Of course! My email is taylor.nieman@jointoucan.com - shoot me a note and I'll keep you posted. It'll be live within the month 🇷🇺 😊

@john_hayes2 @geffrey @marawan_1997 @jointoucan @taylor_nieman Any update on this? Been a lot longer than a month.

This is a super clever way to learn a language in context — using content that you're already motivated to consume. And I love the business model (or part of it)...! Anyone can sponsor a word. Guess which #word I sponsored? 😁

@chrismessina Thanks so much, Chris! Really appreciate you hunting Toucan 🐧 😊

Toucan is a new, immersive way to learn while you go about your daily life. Learning a new language is challenging, fun, and rewarding. It also takes time, practice, and dedication - finding a few extra minutes in the day can feel impossible. At Toucan, we know creating a new habit is one of the most difficult things to do. Our Founding team has a deep understanding and appreciation for human habits, behavior, and the science of learning. Our free Chrome extension helps you learn without having to put aside time to create a new habit. Toucan works by immersing you in the language while you're browsing the web. What's even better is that you'll see those words in the context of sentences - helping your brain connect the word to its useful meaning. We created Toucan to help people make more use of their time, without missing out on the fun and satisfaction of learning a new language. We hope you enjoy learning with Toucan as much as we do! The Toucan Team, Taylor, Brandon, and Shaun

I envisioned a product just like Toucan years and years ago when I started learning Spanish. I couldn’t be happier with the team and what you guys are building! Taylor and her cofounders are “building in public” on Twitter, encouragingly responsive to product feedback, and have an awesome vision for enabling language learning. I look forward to continuing to learn Spanish & more languages as you expand, as well as watching you grow as a company! 👏
Taylor Nieman
@pocketfreud Sincerely appreciate these kind words, Jérémy! 😊 ❤️
