In the "Side by Side" view, a text is displayed in two languages. Mouse over a word, and the translated word is also highlighted. Click on a word, and a translation is also provided, often with an audio recording to help with pronounciation. When audio is available, an MP3 player will also appear at the top of the page.
In "Single Document" view, a text is displayed in your language. Words are gradually replaced with their translations, so that by the end of document you're reading the text in a foreign language.
Additional resources are available in the "Media" view, including videos, links, and a language quiz.
