Here's a list of all the apps (built by them!) mentioned in comments: - LangTurbo (by @sebnun) - langturbo.com : Learn through podcasts with transcriptions and contextual word definitions - Nuenki (by @Alex-Programs) - nuenki.app : Browser extension that translates appropriate-difficulty sentences across websites, with hover-for-definitions feature - Manabi Reader (by @wahnfrieden) - reader.manabi.io : Japanese-focused integrated reader with SRS and Anki integration - (by @muth02446) - Spanish: appicenter.net/Apps/VocabES/ - English: appicenter.net/Apps/VocabEN/ : Uses spaced repetition and audio for basic vocabulary learning - Vocabuo (by @kebsup) - vocabuo.com : Combines SRS flashcards with ebook/YouTube/website reader, using AI for content generation - LingoStories (by @laurentlb) - github.com/laurentlb/lingostories/ : Open-source lang

Interesting approach! Thanks for making it open-source, I think we need more open-language language learning tools. As I'm also building one (https://github.com/laurentlb/lingostories/), I'm going to take a look at what you did and the technical decisions. You seem to focus on the English use-case. In my experience, getting exposure to other languages can be much more difficult, especially when you're not fluent yet. It would be interesting to see how to approach it: ideally, questions and answers should be in the target language, but the questions have to be very simple. As someone else mentioned, having audio would be very useful. At some point, you could consider a hand-free mode: it reads the question out loud, pauses a few seconds, then tells the response.
