LearnItLists is a new startup that was featured on both Mashable and KillerStartups, and allows users to start learning a new language while surfing the internet. The way it works is that the LearnIt widget will display 10 words out of a list of the 1000 most popular English words, which will flash one by one in whatever language you choose.

Here is more information on how this works, directly from the LearnItLists website:

“The learnit widget will make the same words appear in a different order each time. You can flip them between the language you speak and the language you’re learning. You can see them side by side, or hide them. Every time you do a search on the Internet, you can glance at them. You can put the widget on your social network site and see the same list every time you visit, and you can keep the list open as a browser window on your desktop while you work. It will even be useful for you to write down your words in your daily diary.”

Having this constant exposure to each of the words from this widget will make it very easy to learn the 10 words you are given each day. Another benefit to the LearnItLists widget is that it can be placed social networking sites, search engines, blogs and even is available as a Google widget which allows you to put it on any site.

Here is a current list of language pairs:

English/Czech, English/Spanish, English/German, English/French, English/Italian, English/Portuguese

Also, according to a post on KillerStartups, Chinese (simplified) is now supported.
