...and just to be 100% clear, I'm talking about foreign languages like German and French. Not programming languages. 😅
Why not learn something every time you open a new tab?
Introducing Letra. A Chrome Extension (Working on a Firefox extension as well!) that serves as a supplementary guide for learning a new language. A new word will pop up in your new tab every day, in your chosen language(s).
✨ Features
- New word everyday
- Listen to the word in the chosen language
- New inspirational quote about learning
- Dark Interface
🌎 Available Languages
- 🇩🇪 German
- 🇫🇷 French
- 🇪🇸 Spanish
- 🇯🇵 Japanese
- 🇰🇷 Korean

Launched this on ProductHunt yesterday, too. This is the first side project I created and it has been a crazy ride, but that's a story for another time.
Built with VueJS and NodeJS. Here's the repository for the extension! Do click on the Star ⭐️ button if you found it interesting
