🧭 WordBridge — Learn English as You Browse

Highlight. Translate. Remember.

WordBridge is the Chrome extension that helps you learn English naturally as you read online.
Designed for ESL learners, students, and teachers, WordBridge lets you highlight any word to instantly see its definition, translation, and pronunciation — then automatically saves it to your personal study deck for later review.

💡 How It Works

Highlight any English word while browsing.
→ Instantly see the definition, part of speech, and pronunciation.
→ WordBridge also shows your word translated into your native language for easy understanding.

Auto-save for review
Every highlighted word — along with the sentence where you found it — is automatically saved to your personal deck.
It’s vocabulary in context, the way your brain learns best.

Study anytime
Open the WordBridge popup to review your saved words using four ESL-friendly study modes:

Flashcards

Multiple Choice

Listen & Type

Sentence Frames

Each mode reinforces comprehension, pronunciation, and real-world usage.

🎯 Features That Make WordBridge Stand Out
🪄 Highlight & Define Instantly

Highlight any word on any webpage. See its definition, phonetic spelling, and translation side-by-side.

🗂 Saved with Context

Each word you save is stored with its exact original sentence, helping you remember meaning through natural context.

🎧 Pronunciation Practice

Use “Listen & Type” mode to hear natural pronunciation via your browser’s built-in speech synthesis. Perfect for accent training and listening comprehension.

🧠 Four Study Modes for Real Retention

Switch between study types — flashcards, multiple choice, listening, and sentence practice — for a complete learning cycle that strengthens recall and confidence.

📤 Export Deck Anytime

Export your saved deck as a .json file — portable, shareable, and perfect for teachers or multi-device learning. (Import option coming soon!)

🌐 Native Language Support

Set your preferred language once (Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, French, etc.), and WordBridge automatically translates future words to your chosen language.

👩‍🏫 Perfect For:

ESL students learning vocabulary from authentic English content.

Teachers who want students to build context-rich vocabulary lists.

Professionals & self-learners improving business English or reading comprehension.

Polyglots & language enthusiasts exploring natural reading-based learning.

💾 Data & Privacy

No account, no sign-in, no cloud syncing. Everything lives safely in your browser.
