Phrasing – learn every language, to any level

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…

In plain words

Phrasing is a language learning tool that lets users learn vocabulary from TV shows, books, and other content by extracting the most important words and then reviewing them over time. Built on language acquisition principles, it aims to replace traditional flashcard-heavy methods with spaced repetition techniques and supports learning any language, including less common ones. The tool works by selecting content, learning key vocabulary from it, and scheduling reviews to reinforce retention.

In the maker’s words, at launch

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&#x2F;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 Stormlight Archive) - make an insanely beautiful tool for all languages (I want to learn Sanskrit and Hawaiian and such) I think we're off to a great start so far, and I'm happy to be able to share what we have already! We've taken some of our core features, and ripped them out to put them on a playground for HN to explore. There's so much more to come though, this is just the beginning. I'll be here all day to answer any questions. Thanks for checking it out and have a wonderful day <3 EDIT: This link was meant as a demo so hacker news has something to click around on (as per the rules of Show HN). The main marketing page can be found at https:&#x2F;&#x2F;phrasing.app&#x2F; - I think that's causing some confusion
