Spritz

About

🥂 Welcome to Spritz.

Spritz is a Chrome extension that quietly spritzes your browsing with the language you're learning. A few words per page — in one of eight languages — swapped right into the articles, blogs, and docs you already read.

No lessons. No streaks to protect. No app to open.

Just small sips of a new language, every time you open a new tab.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✺  HOW IT WORKS

1️⃣  Add Spritz to Chrome. Pick your language.
2️⃣  Browse like you always do — news, Wikipedia, recipe blogs, anywhere.
3️⃣  Spritz replaces a few English words with the language you're learning.
4️⃣  Hover any swapped word for pronunciation, audio, and a native example.

By the end of the week, you'll catch yourself thinking in the new word before the English one.

🫧  Rich Hover Tooltips
Hover any spritzed word for an instant card with phonetic guide, part of speech, a native example sentence, and tap-to-hear audio.

☕  Hugo — your Spritz Coach
Meet Hugo, the AI tutor built into Spritz. Ask how to order a coffee in Rome, how to apologize in Seoul, or why a verb conjugates that way. Real answers, in seconds.

🃏  Smart Flashcards
Every word you hover quietly joins your review deck. Two minutes a day of spaced repetition is enough to make them stick.

🧪  THE SCIENCE OF SMALL SIPS

This isn't a hunch.

A 2020 study in Nature Scientific Reports found that encountering new words across diverse contexts sticks far better than drilling them in isolation — even more than simply increasing repetitions.

The same word, seen in eight different settings, beats the same word drilled eight times on a flashcard.

This is what Stephen Krashen called comprehensible input, 40 years ago. Language is acquired when you meet it in the wild — not when you rehearse it on a screen.

Spritz takes that research and wraps it in a tool that asks nothing of you except to browse the web you were going to browse anyway.

Context over drills. That's the whole idea.

✺  WHY WE BUILT IT

After a year of daily Duolingo, our founder still couldn't hold a conversation. Streak protected. Gems hoarded. Vocabulary of a four-year-old.

So he built Spritz. Now it's available to anyone trying to learn a language the way people actually learn languages — by living in them.

Made with care in Atlanta, Georgia.
