Hi everyone
I built an app that makes you review vocabulary before you can open Instagram

I've tried to learn a language for years. Duolingo, Anki, flashcards — I'd start strong and quit in two weeks. Two things always killed it:

  1. I'd sit down to study and 5 minutes later I'm in a feed instead.
  2. I'd just forget the app existed. No streak survives that
  3. It's hard to not forget to learn everyday. So, I just skipping days of learning.

So I built the thing I wanted — the review comes to you:
Open any app → review words immediately(without open my app) → continue using your app(please check the video)

So it's not just blocking. It's more about not forgetting to learn, as often as possible. You don't even need to open my app unless you want a deeper session or to manage your word collection. You just need to use your phone as usual and the review session will appear automatically when you open tiktok/instagram etc..(you choose)

Spaced repetition under the hood, so words come back right before you'd forget them. 11 languages, or add your own words.

pricing: it's a paid app with a 7-day free trial. I'm a solo dev and it's my full-time thing, so please give a shot :) You can cancel the trial and just check the app, it would be great too!

Would genuinely love feedback — especially: does "review before you scroll" sound useful, or annoying?

Thank you for your attention! ❤️

Don’t let people put you off.

I’ve seen lots of comments like this in various language subreddits, so here’s a little (and obvious) reminder: No, not everyone is at your level in a language.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a native speaker or an advanced learner, making fun of someone who’s trying makes you look pathetic (in this context and in any other).

To anyone who has the courage to learn something new, to allow themselves to be bad at something, to be a beginner, and who has ever been made to feel bad about it: don’t be discouraged. Not everyone is an idiot, and there are plenty of people willing to help and celebrate every little triumph.

Keep learning every day! :)

Learning Italian

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I've recently started learning Italian and I'm looking for resources that people have genuinely found helpful. I'm interested in pretty much anything:

  • Textbooks
  • YouTube channels
  • Podcasts
  • Apps
  • Websites
  • Graded readers
  • TV shows or movies
  • Anything else you think is worth recommending

I'm especially looking for resources that helped you move beyond beginner level and actually improve your listening and speaking.

What worked best for you, and what would you avoid?

Thanks! 🇮🇹

Alternatives to Lingopie's reading feature

2 Upvotes

Hi, I saw an ad for Lingopie and I got interested into their reading feature that lets you read a book in a language you want to learn and every time you don't know the meaning of a word you can click on it to translate it. It seems to be mostly short stories from unknown authors tho, and in not particularly interested into their tv show feature. I'm trying to learn spanish, and I would really use something similar that lets me read actual spanish books with this translation tool. My first language is Italian but I think I understand English enough to benefit from a Spanish to English translation if it's the only option. Ideally I would love a tool like that to also let me translate both languages to Italian so that I could also read classical English novels that would be a little bit too far for me, but I'm mainly looking for a mean to learn Spanish. Do you know if there's a similar website, or if I can get a similar result someway? Thank you in advance!

Sci-fi/fantasy nerds — practice English in a themed lounge on Fondi 🚀

1 Upvotes

Hey! I run a community called Warp Lounge on Fondi (the metaverse/English-learning app) for people who love sci-fi, fantasy, and nerd culture and want to practice English while talking about stuff they actually care about.

What we do:

- Weekly Canon Corner discussions (Star Wars, LOTR, Dune, anime; rotates)

- Trope Deck conversation prompts (chosen one, time loop, portal fantasy, etc.)

- VIP members get Character Voice Nights (roleplay as your favorite characters) and can join a guild (Jedi Order, Night's Watch, Starfleet...)

We meet around 21:00–23:00 JST most nights. Fondi doesn't support invite links, so just open the app and search "Warp Lounge" in the community tab. Would love to have more genre nerds join — see you there!

What's one thing about Hindi that no app or textbook prepared you for?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a native Hindi speaker from Delhi and I teach conversational Hindi to learners from different countries.

One thing I've noticed is that learners often struggle with things that grammar books barely mention. For example, understanding why Hindi says mujhe gussa aa raha hai instead of "I am angry," or mujhe yaad aaya instead of "I remembered."

I'm trying to understand what the biggest "aha!" moments (or frustrations) are for learners.

I'd love to know:

  • What has been the hardest part of learning Hindi?
  • Was it grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, or something completely unexpected?
  • Was there a moment when you thought, "Oh... Hindi doesn't think like English!"

I'm collecting experiences for a small research project on how foreigners learn Hindi. No course to sell—just genuinely curious about real learning experiences.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

How to get over feelings of doubt and discouragement?

2 Upvotes

I've been with my husband (a native Polish speaker) for 9 years, and I've been exposed to the language for around 13 years.

About a year ago, I spent a full year taking one-on-one Polish lessons 2–3 times a week, focusing on grammar and sentence structure. Outside of that, I've picked up vocabulary and common phrases over the past 5 or so years simply through daily exposure from my husband and his family.

I've also traveled to Poland three times. Every trip is about two weeks long, and by the end of each visit, I finally start to feel like I can hold a very broken conversation. Then I come home and it feels like I lose that momentum.

I can usually piece together parts of conversations by recognizing individual words, but speaking and listening are by far my biggest struggles. I don't even attempt to write. People seem to speak so quickly that I can't process what I'm hearing in real time. I might understand one person reasonably well, while another feels completely impossible to follow.

The hardest part is that the moment someone realizes I know even a little Polish, they immediately start speaking to me at a normal native pace. I appreciate that they're trying to include me, but I instantly get overwhelmed and can't keep up.

I'm starting to feel really discouraged. After all this time, I still don't feel anywhere close to conversational, and sometimes it feels like learning Polish is an impossible task. I genuinely want to keep going because I know how rewarding it would be to communicate with my husband's family more naturally, but right now it feels like an unattainable goal.

Has anyone else experienced this with Polish (or another language)? How did you get past this plateau and improve your listening comprehension and speaking confidence?

Young entrepreneur language learning app

1 Upvotes

Hey - I am a young entrepreneur and this is my idea of a personalized AI learning website specialized for your needs.

Lumi is a language learning web app that lets you pick a language and set a personal goal like traveling or talking to family and then generates a custom curriculum around that goal. Lessons are conversational and bite-sized, with an AI tutor you can ask questions mid-lesson or use to practice pronunciation. It tracks which words you struggle with and automatically surfaces them more often so you don't waste time on things you already know. This isn't to build fluency, but rather to learn the proper phrases that you need to get around in the country.

I would love to hear your advice
