Does any one else think the language learning app ecosystem is toxic, full of with gamification and AI scams? I created my own web app to practice without any fluff or BS.

Du*lingo throws AI in everything (despite having the resources to pay for real content) and tries to squeeze out money from you every 3 minutes. Other apps are either Duolingo clones or are AI chat apps that simply don't work well. My frustration with the current state of things led me to work on my own app.

I believe language learning come down to 2 things: comprehensible input and practice in the most challenging domains: vocabulary, grammar and listening. My app currently has conjugation, vocab and listening exercises and lets you hyper-focus on aspects that make each language especially hard. I am a solo developer so it is freemium but you can use all of these exercises today with almost all features.

Features:

  • Currently supports Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, English, Arabic, Hebrew and Mandarin
  • Filter across pronouns, tenses, verbs, levels etc.
  • Voice audio (with different accents and genders)
  • Learn in context with example sentences (or with just pronoun) (Spanish and French
  • Anki-like Spaced repetition
  • Progress tracking dashboard
  • Translation, transliteration, IPA, diacritics toggles
