LeoBar

Learning a new language can prove to be a laborious effort, but thanks to numerous online resources, it's now much easier than before to start off on the right path. From online dictionaries, to entire communities dedicated to helping users attain proficiency in a foreign language, numerous resources exist for those who are interested.

Several desktop applications also exist to make the process of learning a new language more convenient for the user. LeoBar is a small dictionary utility that sits in your system tray, providing you with word definitions for a given language at the ready, which can potentially speed up your learning process.

As this is an app that works from your system tray, accessing it only requires clicking its icon. This makes it easy to bring it up whenever you need, which is quite relevant when it comes to a dictionary.

Users can expect to find a variety of supported languages, with German, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese, among others, being available. If you've come across a word that is unfamiliar, clicking the app's tray icon and inputting the relevant word will reveal its definition, as well as some other details.

As stated before, users will be presented with the definition of the inputted word in the selected language. The program goes quite in-depth with these definitions, going as far as providing several examples, along with the noun and verb usage of a given word.

The app will also provide any forum threads it finds relevant for your request. The Leo forums have a quite large user base, and being able to look through existing threads, or open new ones with your questions, can be a great way to speed up your language learning process.

LeoBar is a practical dictionary, which can be accessed whenever you need, right from your system tray. Despite the compact size of the interface, the tool manages to go surprisingly in-depth with its definitions.
