Beautiful Spanish stories for language learners

What it does
I built an app for learning Spanish through reading stories. Quite frankly, this app is not groundbreaking. I built it because everything else in the space was frustrating UX, super overpriced, or so AI that it felt entirely unusable. It's got tap to translate, native audio, auto review (think ANKI) based on what you struggle with, and an indie dev (me) offering incredibly human support and development. Plenty of features on the horizon but want to hear what people want before building more :)
Beautiful Spanish stories with tap-to-translate and spaced repetition built in.
Lexio helps you understand Spanish in the wild. You won't even realize you're studying. Just a few minutes a day and you'll notice real Spanish progress. Every word in every story is tappable. Meanings appear right where you're reading, with no dictionary detour and no losing your place. Press play and follow along. Each word highlights as it's spoken. Slow it down when you need to, speed up when you don't. Tap a word once for the meaning. Tap it again later and it earns a spot in your review queue. The pile stays focused on words you're actually learning, not every word you've ever looked up. Lexio surfaces cards just before they'd slip out of memory. A few minutes a day is enough to build…from lexiolanguage.com

Personalized Duolingo (kind of) for vocabulary building2025 · github.com · ▲161Hi! Wanted to share the project I really wanted to have. TLDR; this app lets you create your own list of words and you get a Duolingo-like experience (kind of, still needs a lot of features) practicing those words in their context. My English is not the best but not the worst either. But I realized I can't boost it up after a certain level! In my belief, in order to truly learn a language, you need to be exposed to that language often. Vocabulary is the key factor here if you really want to improve in any language. My experience is that when I read a book to improve my English vocabulary, I…

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.…
Learn German with Short Stories2023 · webbu.app · ▲180Hi HN! I have been working on a webapp to keep learning German and today I want to share the first version. In the past, I have used books with "Short stories" to learn the language and I always wanted more stories so I thought I could put that into an app. Short stories are nice because the learner can attempt to understand words from the context of the text and it feels like less effort than a traditional language app. Additionally, the app format allows for practice questions at the end and you can use LLMs to check whether the answers are correct; so the users can check themselves. So…
ReadPlusOne – Spanish stories built around the words you're learningAug 2026 · readplusone.com · ▲5Hey HN, Over the past 6 months, I've been working on a Spanish language learning app that generates stories for you with your target words. For the last 2, I've been reading with it most mornings and it's really helped me grow my vocab. It generates short stories built around your target words you are learning, and uses vocabulary you already know for the majority of the story (around 95%). As you read along you click any word you don't know and it puts them into a spaced repetition system (SRS) to appear in future generated stories. It does need an account to work. I have a short…

Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
