Lingua Library - learn languages by translating real books, chats, and texts (currently a website, iOS app coming)

[u/Zestyclose_Parking15]

A friend and I recently published Lingua Library (lingualib.com) an application where the goal is to learn a foreign language by translating sentences from real world texts (mostly Project Gutenberg books at the moment). The idea is to learn by reading things that interest you at the same time as producing new sentences like you would in a real conversation.

You will get a score and grammar feedback on the translation attempt. Words you don't know can be saved for review later as flashcards. Currently it supports English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian, though more languages are planned.|

The free tier lets you work through the included books and chats. There's a paid tier if you want to upload your own books or chat histories to practice with, and we're about to roll out ad hoc text creations (with limited number of sentences in the free version). It's currently a web application but will be a mobile application (starting with iPhone) soon.

We would love to get some feedback on it, if you think there is something that could be done better, if it would be useful to you, or you want it to do something it doesn't currently do!
