It's an email-only Korean (and English) language learning service started by me and my partner! We've both been interested in language and, since I've been learning Korean and she's been improving English, I've been looking for a modality that works for me -- apps don't click for me for some reason.
It started by me sending myself an email everyday with new Korean vocab/grammar, but we thought it would be nice if it responded with corrections and learned from my common mistakes to make better questions. So, we've built it out to work for us, and turns out other people also like it and are growing everyday!
Always excited to see others working in the language learning space! (Korean & English in my case)
Signed up and played around a bit, but was unable to get a video transcribed. It kept popping up with a "Error loading video. Please try again later." issue. I tried entering a URL and was given that the audio quality was too low.
Separately, I'm curious how you're approaching quality control in your translations for the words. While building my app, the GPT models regularly get translations wrong for Korean and miss nuance and require human-in-the-loop before sending to the user.
My partner and I do something similar for Korean & English (she’s Korean native and is fluent in English and I’m learning Korean). We actually built it out for ourselves and some friends and just released it yesterday[0].
Still working out some kinks, but it sends a question every weekday via email that you’d respond to. It then sends back feedback on vocab & grammar, all with spaced repetition baked in to keep track of words you learn/use as you continue.
It’s currently tailored towards those that can already read and have basics under their belt.
I'm a founder with ADHD and have felt this struggle first-hand. It's like "why can't I focus on this? It's SO simple".
As mentioned in the article, a large component of the struggle is executive functioning, but there are tools like Double [0] that aim to provide a way to get around that struggle by pairing people up to do the same task together. It's actually a really neat concept that extends beyond ADHD![1]
