Parolina

Learn words as you browse.

Turn everyday web reading into lasting vocabulary. Select any word or phrase on a webpage, see an instant translation, and save it to your personal vocabulary — without leaving the page or breaking your reading flow. Parolina is a privacy-first language-learning companion that lives in your browser. It helps readers, students, expats, and travelers remember the words they meet while reading articles, blogs, news, research papers, menus, and more. HOW IT WORKS - Select text on any page — a floating button appears - One click saves the word with its translation, source URL, and surrounding context - Review it later with spaced repetition until it sticks WHY PAROLINA - Instant translation popup the moment you select text - Smart prefill powered by Google Translate, with an offline fallback - 8 practice modes: flashcards, multiple choice, drag & drop, typing, reverse, cloze, word reveal, and a Mixed mode that cycles through them all - Spaced repetition with 8 interval levels — words you struggle with come back more often - Daily reminders and a toolbar badge showing what's due - Progress tracking: streaks, goals, and per-dictionary statistics - Organize words into separate dictionaries by language or topic - Export anytime: CSV and JSON backup — your data, always yours PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN Parolina is local-first: your vocabulary is stored locally in your browser and everything works offline with no account. Sign-in is optional — sign in with an email code or Google and your words sync for free across your devices and browsers. The only page data ever sent off your device is the exact text you select, sent solely to Google Translate for a translation draft; full pages, browsing history, and personal data are never transmitted. Analytics are anonymous and opt-out. Parolina Pro is purchased on app.parolina.app (via Stripe) — the extension never handles any payment data. WHO IT'S FOR - Readers of foreign news, blogs, and articles - Students and exam candidates (TOEFL, IELTS, JLPT) - Expats and immigrants learning the language around them - Travelers prepping the words they'll actually use - Bilingual professionals keeping a second language sharp Works on any webpage, in any language. Interface available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Russian. Free to start. No account needed. Install once and learn from everything you read.
