This is awesome - as an individual who speaks 2 languages and whose IP address (because of geolocation) often gets mixed between 2 countries - my internet content is always mixed between English & Spanish, and I can definitely say this is a good way to learn. Hopefully I can use your application to learn other languages - definitely see long term in this - congratulations!

@reeset I'm simply stating the learning benefits of reading content in two languages which has happened to me for years before using your application. I'm now starting to use your application to learn new languages :)

Before signing up I wanted to see what languages are available but I'm having trouble finding any information, anyone know what languages are currently supported?

No way. This is brilliant... I've been in Sweden for 4 years now and the running gag in my team is that I don't speak swedish. This is about to change...

@menimor Hey Meni, we hand-craft all of our languages. Since you are in Sweden, if you have any native speakers that want to contribute and make your learning possible, we'd love to chat more. Please send us a message in the contact form on https://flipword.co. Also, contributing to our crowdfunding campaign will help us move everything forward even faster :D

Hello Product Hunt! We envision FlipWord as the laziest way to learn and retain a foreign language throughout your daily life. We found that tools like Pleco are great and Duolingo are fun, but each requires too much effort for the learner to study regularly. Today, we are proud to launch an experience that delivers both fun and effectiveness, removing the mental effort to study and continue studying for the long term by integrating lessons into your daily browsing, seconds at a time. We have selected Google Chrome as a starting point, and are in the process of developing Android and iOS apps. In addition, we are raising through a campaign to help us keep building at https://republic.co/flipword. Here’s what makes FlipWord stand out: - In-context material - Intelligent word replacement - Natural, automated spaced repetition - Embedded quizzes - Speech practice - Native language videos … all without opening an app For a limited time, we are raising on https://republic.co/flipword. You can invest as little as $20 to be part of our journey.

Great job! I just installed the extension and started learning straight from LinkedIn. After attempting to learn Spanish and Italian on Duolingo I think that this might be an easier - more realistic - solution for me. I would love to write about it on my blog, thestoryofmylife.com.

Awesome extension, I've been meaning to learn Spanish for a while. I think this will definitely help with vocab (though less help with grammar). I wish there was a profile page where I could see all the words I've learned and all the coins I've accrued (if there is, I haven't found it- which is another problem).

@ninjinka Hey Thomas! We have a bunch of new features in the works, including grammar. Profile page is future work, but coming :)

I remember seeing this years ago, and thinking it was a brilliant idea. Then you won the prestigious Cozad competition, continued development, and are now at the top of Product Hunt. Amazing! And the app itself is such a wonderful expression of the original vision. Well done; onwards and upwards!

@personifynick Thanks! We've been working hard since then to iterate and grow the product. Tons of dedication led us here. Now we prepare for what's next.
