got - interact with google translate from the terminal
For freedict instead I think it is outside of the scope of this project, `got` aims to be a translator, not a dictionary lookup tool. For this kind of use I recommend dict which defines in fact a word through dictionaryapi (and also happens to be written in go!)

We talk a lot about comprehensible input and how good it is, but what is your method to reach a point where the input is comprehensible?
Flashcards. My favourite translation tool is translate-shell https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell which I use on Linux with a Bash script to copy all translations to a log. I have another Bash script to create a frequency list from this log. I then make flashcards from my most frequently translated words. Learning the words I've most often found incomprehensible naturally improves comprehension.

Microsoft Edge is an underrated language learning tool
My preferred translation tool on my laptop is Translation Shell https://github.com/soimort/translate-shell It takes longer to type or copy-paste words, but it has advantages in the custom Bash script I use it with (e.g. to send translated words to a text file which I use to make a frequency list). It's especially useful while watching videos, but I also use it while reading.
