Reverso is an online translation and language learning platform. It offers translation services, language tools, and resources for language learners. Users can input text or phrases for translation between various languages, and Reverso provides accurate translations along with examples of usage in context. It also offers tools such as conjugation tables, vocabulary lists, and language quizzes. Reverso offers a free limited version and does not require signing up for its most basic features, although doing so allows saving words and more. Reverso can be accessed through a browser, used as a browser extension, or a device app.
Evaluation: Reverso is a useful tool for learning vocabulary in context, allowing learners to acquire vocabulary after seeing it in a sentence and not isolated. Another advantage is that it allows importing articles, documents or other content into Reverso for translation. As is the case with other translation tools, Reverso must be used critically, paying attention and being critical about offered translations and trying to internalise new words.
Cost: Free without registration + premium plans available.
