Toddlers got it rightBabies don’t study grammar. They learn language naturally from people talking to them using simple words. Over time, their brains notice patterns and figure out how to respond. Toucan uses a similar approach, but for people of all ages.
Read what you likeThe latest research shows that it’s easier to learn new languages when you’re reading things you choose, rather than something someone assigned to you. So Toucan works by inserting translations into the websites you choose to visit.
Stress hurts progressResearch also shows that you’re far more likely to acquire a new language in relaxed situations than in stressful ones. For example, you’re more likely to make progress while visiting your favorite website than studying for a Spanish midterm.
