A LingQ alternative for Japanese webpage reading
Rolko is a separate Japanese-learning web app and desktop browser extension for looking up words in supported webpage text. Basic lookup is free; saving new words requires a paid plan, while previously saved words remain reviewable on Free. LingQ offers a Japanese lesson library, imported content, and its own vocabulary review. If that library is your main need, compare it directly. Rolko is not affiliated with LingQ.
Start learning
The web app works in every modern browser. No extension required.
