What is Duolingo Ninja?

Duolingo Ninja is a Chrome browser extension designed to reinforce language learning by integrating Duolingo vocabulary practice into everyday web browsing.

This approach allows learners to apply their language skills in real-world contexts without altering their browsing habits, making vocabulary acquisition more practical and engaging. The extension offers flexible translation modes, privacy-conscious operation, and tools to review and practice learned vocabulary with flashcards and AI-generated sentences.
