Maybe it's just been too long since my last coffee, but I don't understand what's happening here.

Dakwak appears to be a tool wherein people can pay for i18n services on web properties they own, and yet from Kumar's description it's like he's using duolingo.

Duolingo is one thing, but DakWak let's you see the words on the page. This allows for a spatial sense of the words.

Remember in school when you used to remember where something was on the page? This is the same thing.

It means I can see the actual words on the page and have a higher recall of the instance of the word.

So, your process is to take some websites that you own, have them automatically translated, and then use the results to learn the new vocab?

I totally get what you're saying!! :) Thought it was just me who abnormally remembered where stuff is on pages.
