Are you learning a foreign language? Is there a song you like and wish you knew the words?
The Song to Anki extension can help! The extension builds a custom flash card deck of all the lines in your song of choice, aligned with their translation, for easy import into Anki spaced repetition software. What's more is that the more difficult words in your target language will be left as fill-in-the-blank, following a method called "cloze deletion" designed to improve retention and force you to learn words or phrases that you don't already know.
Usage:
Go to lyricstranslate.com and find a song you like. Then select the song translation in your language of choice. Finally, click the Song to Anki icon, verify the language you're learning in the text box, and click submit. You'll then be prompted to download an Anki (.apkg) flash card deck.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
