Tablet for learning foreign language: usage scenarios, choice of OS?

Question

Mobile devices

I choose a tablet for learning English. The goal is to pass a certificate, so it's not idly, but for reading, listening. I'm estimating a general scenario like this: the screen is divided into 2 halves: the book in the original - the book in translation. For example, yes. Splitting the screen is possible with win-tablets, not counting samsungs - for other android tablets, this seems to be impossible, like for iOS.
But I have never encountered such a task (learning a language), so there is a suspicion that I overdid it with the use case and the possibility of splitting the screen is not at all necessary. What kind of experience in the study would you recommend?

Answer 1

It makes no sense to divide into 2 parts, just read in foreign language. when you find a stranger, you poke your finger and start the translation without leaving the book. As for how to implement it, I won’t tell you (I saw somewhere a description of how to make it on android, but I don’t remember where ^_^)
PS I read it in a browser on a PC and / or laptop

Answer 2

I have a note 8 (samsung) tablet, it has the ability to open 2 applications, but only if they are different, i.e. you will need 2 different readers, moreover, those that have such a function.
I used this in order to rewrite the text I needed, and it was extremely inconvenient, since the screen is quite small, and I had to constantly increase either one application in order to read it normally, then the second, so that it would be more convenient to write.
If you take a tablet for such purposes, then only with a large screen, where the diagonal is 10, and preferably 12.
Otherwise, I would prefer to buy the books themselves, if possible.

Answer 3

On the iPad, you can split the screen using a tweak, maybe there is some kind of crutch on the android too.
