I made a website for learning Chinese. There are many already, but I think there is always room for new entries into the Chinese language learning ecosystem. The Site: - Course is an online version of the HSK course books (HSK 1-2 done so far, 3-4 coming soon) including all the vocabulary, texts, and all the content/activities from the coursebook and workbooks. - SRS Flashcards - SRS Sentence speaking - Character writing tool (Stroke data is from MakeMeAHanzi) - Dictionary is from the MBDG Chinese Dictionary - I build it using Rails and StimulusJS (with AI help) - Uses a lot of…

Hey HN! I’m Alex, and one of my favorite ways to learn languages is by reading novels. Currently I’m reading 三体 (3 body problem), but one problem I've always had is it takes ages to look up words, and add them to Anki flashcards so I can remember them. 三体 is especially brutal with so much sci-fi vocab. That’s why I built Readly. I snap a pic of the page I’m reading, it loads the text in-app and lets me lookup words, add to Anki-style flashcards, or ask AI questions about the text, all in a single tap. It's a huge time saver. My specific learning strategy, if anyone wants to replicate it: 1.…

Hi HN, Just wanted to share a tool i've been working on to help with my own study routine. It’s a browser extension called Lingoku. The idea is simple: we spend hours browsing the web in English every day. This tool replaces some of the english words with Japanese vocabulary based on your japanese level (Similar to Toucan, but with a better user experience). It’s basically an attempt to make the "i+1" method actually passive, you understand the sentence because it's mostly english, but you pick up Japanese words naturally from the context. It uses an LLM in the backend to make sure the…

Like many Chinese Americans, I can speak Chinese fairly well, but I struggle with reading and writing. I've always wanted to improve, but I've never had the time to sit down and study. SparkleChinese is a browser extension that forces me to get better at reading Chinese by swapping English words on the pages I read with their Chinese equivalents. SparkleChinese is free and runs entirely on-device. Full disclosure: I vibe-coded this using Opus 5 and Fable 5.
