PhrasePump: Learn Languages by Listening to Tatoeba Sentences
Link: https://www.languagereactor.com/phrasepump About a year ago Me and Og started to make a flashcard function for 'Language Learning with Netflix'/Language Reactor, as exporting to Anki was a bit of a painful process for users. During development, some opportunities presented themselves: Why teach a word with a single saved sentence, when you can vary the sentence every session? Isn't sound the primary medium of language? Let's make it a big listening practice. Why do I have to go looking to words to save? Let the software suggest what to learn. It's called PhrasePump…

In plain words
PhrasePump is a language learning tool that teaches vocabulary through varied sentences from Tatoeba, emphasizing listening practice over written flashcards. The software automatically suggests phrases to learn rather than requiring users to manually select them, and presents the same word in different sentence contexts and tenses during each study session. It is designed for language learners who want an immersive, listening-focused approach to building vocabulary, particularly those already using Language Reactor.

Hey there HN - Today I'm sharing a demo of my our language learning tool, Phrasing. It's a tool born from the language acquisition hypothesis, too many hours in an anki slog, and a strange desire to always be learning obscure languages. The method is simple: 1. type in a show 2. learn the most important words 3. watch the show/acquire the words 4. review the words when needed in the future. On top of that, we're trying to: - do some novel things with spaced repetition (no more anki slog) - expand the sort of content you can learn from (I want to to refresh my French by reading The…

Hey HN, I 3d scanned the interior of the Great Pyramid / Khufu's pyramid for the Giza Project this summer and just finished the guided version to share. Would love feedback and/or problems you encounter. I used both a Leica BLK 360 and Matterport Pro 2 to do the scanning and the Matterport SDK for the web viewer. Matterport's web display with Three.js has been the most accessible to a wide audience in the past (previous iterations are in Unity and Unreal, but difficult to download over slower connections). I've been interviewing social studies teachers around the 6th grade level to…

APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more. Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.
