Student stories from LanguageBridge classrooms
Amira's Journey
Amira is an Afghan refugee who can't read Dari, her own language. Free translator tools may not offer audio for every language students speak. LanguageBridge reads her classroom content aloud in Dari so she can finally participate.

Abdullah's Progress
Abdullah is learning English while keeping up with grade-level work. With Talk to Teacher, he can communicate directly with his teacher, ask questions, share concerns, and build trust without relying on a student interpreter.

Sophia's Breakthrough
Sophia moved from Colombia and constantly translates two languages in her head. It made her feel "not smart." With LanguageBridge, she highlights any text and the glossary generates word-to-word translations side by side.

Three Tools That Work Together
LanguageBridge isn't just translation. It's a complete language accessibility platform designed specifically for preliterate SLIFE students.
Audio Translation
Translates any text on any website with authentic, contextualized translations. Audio playback ensures preliterate students can access content even when they cannot read in any language yet. Works instantly on Google Classroom, Canvas, and any website.
Tiered Language Glossary
Subject-specific terminology with definitions and audio in students' home languages. Builds academic vocabulary systematically across content areas (math, science, social studies). Students learn content AND language simultaneously.
Talk to Teacher
Two-way translation for quick check-ins, assignment clarifications, and personalized feedback without pulling other students from class to interpret. Maintains student privacy and dignity while ensuring clear communication. Reduces reliance on student interpreters.
All three tools work seamlessly together in one Chrome extension. Students use what they need, when they need it, with one keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+L).
