Learn English while you browse
FluentTab turns every English page you read into a lesson. Select a word or a sentence and the translation that fits this sentence appears right where you are looking — with its reading, and a grammar explanation written for that exact line.
English is mostly idiom, phrasal verbs and collocation — meanings that live in the sentence rather than in the dictionary entry.
What it explains in English
Hover the translation and a patient teacher appears. The explanation is written for the sentence in front of you, not copied from a textbook chapter:
- phrasal verbs, where the meaning changes with the particle
- articles: a, the, or nothing at all
- which tense a native speaker would actually use here
- collocations and register — the word that belongs in this sentence
Everything you get for English
- Context-aware translation. FluentTab reads the surrounding sentence before answering, so you get the meaning that belongs here — not a dictionary's first entry.
- Grammar in context. Why this ending, this case, this word order — for this sentence.
- Native pronunciation. One tap reads the selection aloud in a clear, consistent English voice.
- A voice tutor that sees your page. One keystroke starts a spoken conversation about the text you just highlighted. Ask what it means, practise saying it, get corrected.
- Explanations in your language. Learning English from Spanish, Japanese or any of the nine? Every answer arrives in the language you already speak.
- Private by design. The model runs on your device. What you read never leaves your browser.

English questions
How does FluentTab help me learn English?
FluentTab is a free Chrome extension that turns anything you read in English into a lesson. Select a word or sentence on any webpage and it shows a translation chosen for that sentence's meaning, and a grammar explanation written for that exact sentence. You can also hear it read aloud in a native voice, and talk about it with an AI voice tutor that already knows what you highlighted.
Does FluentTab show readings for English?
Yes. FluentTab gives you a romanised reading alongside the original script — selecting "apple" shows "apple" (a fruit; also a tech company) — so you can pronounce a word before you can read it, and the grammar explanation tells you what each particle and ending is doing in that sentence.
Is there a free Chrome extension for learning English?
Yes. FluentTab is free to install from the Chrome Web Store, and all of its English reading features — translation, grammar explanations and read-aloud pronunciation — are unlimited and free forever, with no account required. Only the live voice tutor is metered, and the free plan includes 30 minutes of it per month.
Can I read English news and articles with FluentTab?
Yes. FluentTab works on every website, including content inside embedded readers and online-course viewers. It is built for learning from real English material rather than flashcards: it stays hidden until a word stops you, answers in place, and disappears the moment you deselect, so you keep reading at nearly full speed.
Does FluentTab send what I read in English to a server?
No. English translations, grammar explanations and text-to-speech are generated by an AI model running locally on your own device inside the browser. The pages you visit and the text you select never reach FluentTab's servers and are never logged, profiled or sold.
