Show HN: Language app with spaced repetition and comprehensible input
2 コメント
The fundamentals are nice and the UI is pretty good! I felt the intro was a tad too long, and I wanted to get going to see how it was. Perhaps the AI was a bit too generous when grading me on occasion, but I can see it being useful for vocab training!
Thank you!
I also want to shorten the intro, thanks for the feedback

The basic idea is to combine spaced repetition (like Anki) with comprehensible input. So the app tracks what you know and tries to give you sentences that are at your level and that reviews what you need to review. The sentences are pulled mostly from movies and TV shows so you get to review every word in a natural context and with realistic usage. I find this much more fun than just looking at flashcards.
Currently I support French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Portuguese. I also have early support for Russian and Korean.
I originally made it to help myself learn French, but my friends kept asking to use it, so I thought I'd add some more languages and release it publicly. I have friends using it for German, Spanish, Italian, and Korean right now. I'm not interested in making money from it right now so there's no monetization.
P.S. For people who like pimsleur, you can also choose to review words from any pimsleur lesson in Yap.
