Find compelling and comprehensible media for learning a language

In plain words

This tool helps language learners find media resources that are both engaging and easy to understand. Launched in 2022, it serves students at various proficiency levels who want to supplement their studies with movies, books, podcasts, and other content. The platform's main strength is matching learners with materials appropriate to their current language ability, making it easier to practice without getting frustrated by content that's too difficult or too simple.

  Glossarie – a new, immersive way to learn a language2024 · glossarie.app · ▲363

  Hi HN, For over two years I've been working on an App to learn languages (currently French, Italian and Spanish), together with my partner, a language teacher. I think it is finally ready to share with this community! The idea is to introduce vocabulary and grammar whilst you read eBooks in your own language. I've found that it is easier to remember vocabulary 'in context' and with regular repetition. Plus you don't have to carve out dedicated time for language learning. Other apps require you to build a habit around various exercises or ‘games’, whereas lots of people already read books.…

  A New Way to Learn Languages2025 · langturbo.com · ▲67

  Hi HN, I’m Pablo, I built this application to learn languages using podcasts: https://www.langturbo.com (No signup required) There are a lot of tools to learn languages, but most of them focus on beginners (understandably so, that’s where the money is) but not many exist that target intermediate or advanced learners. The ones that exist make you find content on your own and then import that into their apps, which can be tricky when you don’t know where to look. LangTurbo has a unique curated database of podcasts by language (some even have dialect labels) that you can browse by…

  Pipes puzzle (a.k.a. Net) on a hexagonal grid▲537

  Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…
