Tired of Dictionary Fumbling?

For those of us with less than complete language fluency, it's plain tiresome to read foreign texts. Paging to the right dictionary entry or typing in each unknown word can slow your progress considerably.

Semi-fluent.com is a valuable study tool for anyone wanting to learn a foreign language without so much drudgery.

Here's how Semi-fluent.com can help you

Our pages are "lifehacks" for linguists. They will link each word into the available bilingual dictionary of your choice, speeding your reading time considerably.

Type or paste the text you wish to study into the provided form, select your preferred dictionary, and click the button labeled "Hyperlink These Words."

Each word of your text will be hyperlinked, allowing you quickly to examine words whose definition or grammatical function is unknown to you.

In this example, using the Words Latin dictionary at Notre Dame, the Latin word "incolunt" has been clicked; its definition and grammatical status are displayed for study and fast understanding.

Automatic Vocabulary List Generation

Every word you click will be added to a list accessible by clicking on the "Vocabulary List" button. Words and their individual grammatical inflections are ranked from those with the largest to those with the fewest number of user clicks.

A basic grasp of the grammar of your target language is very helpful. Intermediate language students will be best served, but aspiring bilingualists of all skill levels can benefit.
