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? 😁

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'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.

This is simply awesome! ^^ Good idea. Are you planning to add new languages? Congratulations!

Such a simple and useful idea. Congrats Taylor & team!

Love this extension! I use it everyday and it’s made my Spanish so much better. Excited for Russian to be added soon. Go Toucan team! :)

Amazing product and amazing team! 🙌🏼🎉💪🏼

Congrats on the launch Taylor, Shaun, and team!

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! 👏

Amazing product I use this every day!

Congrats on the launch Taylor!

Downloading right now. Super simple but useful idea. Good luck :)

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!

Amazing & fun product!! Been using for months, highly recommend 🦜

Have you a idea to develop extension to Firefox?

Great idea to leverage unconscious learning triggers! Congrats

This is one of those products you see and immediately think, "why didn't I think of that?" Amazing product, congrats on the launch!

Great product!

Absolutely love Toucan. Learning Spanish and Italian while browsing the web. It's basically a no-brainer to have Toucan installed on my desktop

I love Toucan! Been a long time fan and have been learning so much. I really love how easy it is to learn languages in between all my regular online activities. Their translations and audio pronunciations are incredibly helpful and I’m excited to see what they release next. Such a clever idea. Great job!
