With the most native speakers in the world, the Chinese language comes naturally to a good amount of people.
But to the rest of us laowai who want to master it, memorizing the thousands of characters required for even for basic comprehension can pose a hefty challenge.
Currently, we consult textbooks and children's books to learn them, but it would be a lie to say that our eyes don't glaze over after meticulously reading Cinderella for the hundredth time.
Add a fun touch of relevance to the learning journey by instead, learning characters by reading the news or somebody's opinion on the latest cars. Check out what's in fashion, pick up idioms, and immerse yourself in real-life conversations that go on a billion times a day.
★ - Pinyin is added right after the page loads.
★ - WMWM supports both simplified and traditional Chinese characters.
★ - Webpage titles are annotated as well!
★ - Transliterations are sourced from the Unihan database.
✘ - For the sake of being a quick and lightweight extension, WMWM does *not* support homographs, characters with more than one possible pronunciation. These characters, many of which are often used, should be learned separately. WMWM only displays the most common transliteration and aids learning of less common words.
✘ - WMWM cannot annotate pictures.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
