Lingofable
Language learning, one story at a time
What it does
When learning a language, it's really difficult to find content that is both engaging and at your level. To solve this problem, Lingofable is a mobile app that delivers short stories to you that you actually want to read (from sci-fi to r/AmITheJerk-style posts) at the perfect, pedagogically backed, ~98% comprehensibility! By tracking all of your vocab, we're able to dynamically adjust to your level as you read and improve.

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.

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…
- LGLearn German with Short Stories2023 · webbu.app · ▲180
Hi 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…
