I've been using the Toucan extension on chrome for a few weeks and it has been a great refresher for my admittedly mediocre Spanish speaking skills. Looking forward to trying out a new language next!
Taylor Nieman

Been avidly using Toucan for just about 2 months now. I LOVE this new way of learning. Learning a new language is a lot more fun when the words are relevant to you, and translating as you browse is a great way to build a vocabulary that is relevant to your interests and current context. Most importantly, the experience feels very pleasant... almost like a fun minigame! Excited to see where this goes!!!

?makers Love it so far. Would like a pause button that magically turns it off temporarily. Currently it's 3 clicks to turn extension off, reload page, then read what I need, more clicks to back turn on; more annoying if the site I'm on doesn't remember where I was scrolled to so when I reload I lose my progress. (I saw the disable on specific page option but I didn't want to turn off the whole domain) Also just curious, am I seeing a lot of nouns? Feel like I haven't read many verbs yet and was wondering if there's any prioritization along those lines.

@zachary_blender Thanks so much, Zachary! 🐧 ❤️ Just shared your feedback with our team. Love this idea! We're thinking of even doing this as keyboard shortcuts. Our dictionary is expanding every day with more and more verbs as well as collocations! Large phrase and full sentences on the near horizon as well. Thanks again 😊
