I'm vaguely trying to learn spanish using Duolingo, but haven't been very diligent. I was hoping your chrome extension could be a more passive way of learning that integrates into what I already do, and which would let me stick with it as a result.

Unfortunately, the current version isn't. Unless I'm using it wrong, here's the process of learning spanish with your extension:

    - I'm on a page
    - I decide to learn spanish
    - I click the extension button
    - i click random words and see the spanish word for it

There's a lot of friction (I have to steps 2 and 3) for not a lot of pay off (I can choose to click words and see what the spanish version is). Also, the fact that it gets in the way of every link means I immediately turned it off.

May I suggest an alternate version:

    - on every single page the extension is active
    - pick some number of words (1% maybe?) to translate into spanish, while keeping the text in english. Underline them in green and let me mouseover if I don't understand
    - when I'm reading the text, I will come across these spanish words and learn them in context

Much lower friction, and doesn't get in the way so I won't turn it off.

WDYT?
