    LinguaLayer - Learn Languages While You Browse
    
    Turn every webpage into a language lesson. LinguaLayer replaces common English words with their Japanese, Spanish, or French equivalents as you read naturally.
    
    HOW IT WORKS
    - Words on every page you visit are subtly swapped to your target language
    - Substituted words appear in blue with a dotted underline
    - Hover over any word to see the original English, translation, and pronunciation
    - Adjust the intensity slider to control how many words get replaced
    
    FEATURES
    - Three languages: Japanese, Spanish, and French with 500+ word dictionaries each
    - Adjustable word intensity from 5% to 20% (up to 50% with Pro)
    - Smart substitution that skips code blocks, input fields, and scripts
    - Hover tooltips showing English original, translation, and romaji/pronunciation
    - Works on every website automatically
    - Toggle on/off with one click from the popup
    
    WHY IT WORKS
    Research shows that contextual learning - encountering new words in familiar settings - dramatically improves vocabulary retention. Instead of dedicated study sessions, you absorb new words while reading articles, browsing social media, or checking email.
    
    LANGUAGES
    - Japanese: 590+ high-frequency words with romaji pronunciation
    - Spanish: 540+ common words
    - French: 640+ common words
    
    Pro upgrade unlocks higher intensity settings (up to 50% word replacement) and Korean language support. One-time purchase, no subscription.

    WHY IT WORKS
