bleam turns the websites you already visit — the news, Reddit, Wikipedia — into your daily language lesson. Pick a language and a level, then keep browsing: it weaves your new language into each page and brings every word back right before you'd forget.
Reading at A1? It sprinkles in a few words. At C2 the whole page arrives in your new language — and the dose grows on its own as you improve. Hover any underlined word for the dictionary.
The decision to pedestrianise the Kaufingerstrasse has divided the city. People who live nearby love it. Shop owners are furious about delivery access. And cyclists are still waiting for their protected lane.
A separate app, a daily streak, or a wall of text pitched way above your level — every other way to learn fights you. bleam keeps you on the pages you already love, at exactly your level.
A separate app to open every day, a streak that guilt-trips you, and made-up sentences about owls and bread — and after months you still can't read a real article.
No app, no streak. You read real articles from day one and pick the language up as you go.
Full comparisonDecks you build by hand, words stripped of the sentences they live in, and hours of setup before you learn a thing.
It keeps the words you actually met while reading, in context, and schedules every review for you with FSRS-6.
Full comparisonTranslate the page and the whole thing flips into your target language at once — every line at a native level. It's too hard to actually read, so you bail.
Slips in just enough of your new language for your level, so the page stays readable from the first line — then asks a little more of you as you improve.
Real content in your target language is pitched at fluent adults — too hard at the start, and often just a boring slog. So you bounce off and quit.
You read the stuff you already love, pitched at exactly your level — easy enough to enjoy, hard enough to learn from, and never boring.
An extension that does the reading with you, and a quiet engine that remembers what you've met and decides what comes next.
bleam slips your new language into the pages you already open: the news, Reddit, Wikipedia. No app to launch, no habit to change. You keep reading, and the language comes along with it.
Behind the page, bleam remembers every word you meet and watches how well it's holding. The better you do, the more it weaves in. When a word starts to slip, it brings it back, right before you'd forget.
No app to open every morning, no streak to babysit. bleam rides along with the browsing you already do.
Choose your language and a level from A1 to C2, then add bleam to your browser. The level sets how much of each page arrives in your new language: a word here and there at first, nearly all of it later.
Switch it on for the sites you actually read: your morning paper, Reddit, Wikipedia. Your new language starts showing up inside them. Same pages, same habits.
Hover any word for its meaning and how it sounds. From there bleam tracks every word you've met and brings it back as a flashcard right before you'd lose it.
Most of learning is invisible, you can't feel a word getting stronger or a level starting to slip. bleam measures it, word by word, and uses what it sees to line up the right one for you next.
Pick the level you read at. Low levels swap in just a few words; high levels bring nearly the whole page across. The mix opens up on its own as your vocabulary grows.
Translation stays off until you turn it on. Switch it on per site from the toolbar, and your list follows you to every browser you sign into.
Hover any translated word for its meaning, its base form, an example in context, and the full set of forms when you want them.
Tap the speaker on any word or sentence for a native pronunciation. It's cached after the first play, so the next time is instant.
Linger on a word and bleam keeps it. Scroll straight past and it lets the word go. Your vocabulary ends up matching what you really engaged with, not every word your eyes skimmed.
Every word you've met has its own forgetting curve. It jumps back up each time you meet the word again, reading it or reviewing it, and fades a little slower each time around.
When a word is about to slip, bleam pulls it up as a quick flashcard. The timing is set per word, so reviews land just before forgetting, not days too early.
Hold Ctrl on any sentence to keep it; pause on a word and it tucks itself away. It all lands in your library, searchable and grouped by the page you found it on.
Watch your share of the 1,000 most-used words in your new language climb. It ticks up with every page you read.
Sign in once. Language, level, sites, vocabulary, phrasebook, all of it follows you to the next laptop, the next browser, tomorrow's reading.
Words with more than one meaning get the one that fits the sentence in front of you. No guessing which dictionary entry to use.
English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, or Dutch, paired with the language you already think in.
No streaks, no busywork — just real reading that adds up. Here's what bleam is made of.
I absolutely hate sitting down specifically to study, so having this extension just slip in stuff is perfect for me.
I love that I can read in my target language without having to go out of my way to do it. It makes it so much easier to get in the habit of reading every day.
