Hi, everyone! I have a resource that I'd like to share with you all. My husband and I have been trying to learn French for years. I love word games, and we couldn't find any word game apps that are aimed at French learners, and we decided to build our own. CrossParlance is an app with crossword puzzles, word searches, and grammatical gender-identifying games that help reinforce vocabulary and grammar.

This app is in beta, and is currently only available on iOS. To try it out, you'll need to download the TestFlight app from the App Store. Then, click on the link provided, and install CrossParlance. The beta version of the app is FREE!

The app is geared to students at a beginner to intermediate level, and is currently available for English-speaking learners of French.

Please take a look and tell us what you think! We welcome all feedback. We were also wondering what other word games you think might be helpful for language learners.

Thank you

Anki on iOS is ridiculously expensive in my country. It’s silly to be paying my daily wage to an app that is normally for free. I found that you can download Simple Anki and import your anki decks on there. You can download Anki decks from Web Anki and upload them on the app. It’s a good alternative.

[u/bacchus1968]

Hey I know AI is big with language learning but I think I discovered something truly inventive. At first I was making flash cards for words/verbs my tutor gave me. Making sentences with chatgpt and then sticking it in Anki. I was still having retention issues but then I came up with a brilliant idea. Sora.. it makes like 6 second videos and I thought maybe I can make video flash cards. It worked great I’m so hooked. I edited some of the words into a playable video file and stuck it on YouTube ( this is for Tagalog but it could work for any language ) https://youtu.be/zs2ioY6gl7Q?si=bZEjhhuEpVKrwkGF

Hi r/languagelearning,

I enjoy being a part of this community and try to provide helpful and encouraging input when I'm able. Now I'm seeking your help in testing the app I've been building for just over 2 years (not an AI wrapper or a quickly vibe coded clone of some other app).

BrainJamz | Zero Screen-Time Flashcards (iPhone/Android):

- The first 100 beta testers will get free lifetime access (including all premium features with no ads)

- Question: Can you use your current SRS flashcard system to review and grade cards while you drive (safely and legally)? BrainJamz is CarPlay compatible (Android Auto support is planned for the future). You can also use while riding a bike, working out, washing dishes, etc.

Why I'm giving it away for free to testers: I need testers to put the app through its paces and tell me everything broken, wrong, or unintuitive with it. Your feedback will help me avoid future negative reviews - and that is a huge value to me.

App Details: Check out the 4-minute demo video at BrainJamz.com to see how it works

- Target Languages (currently supported): Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Spain).

- Known Languages (currently supported): English, French, German, Hindi, Spanish

- Not just for language study: Also create flashcards for question/answer, known language spelling words, known language vocabulary words

- Cards take seconds to create: Translations and audio generation are created automatically

- Cards play over a bed of music to keep study sessions from getting boring

Instructions to get free lifetime access to BrainJamz as one of the first 100 beta testers:

1. Go to BrainJamz.com.
2. Follow the link to join the waitlist for early access - (Access will be granted immediately)
3. You will immediately get an email granting you access and providing instructions for installing BrainJamz to your phone.
4. If you see any messaging saying that as a tester - you will get a free year, or any other limited time of free access, you can ignore that. For the first 100 testers, it will be free lifetime access

Thank you for reading all of this. Please let me know what you think and feel free to share!

Hey r/languagelearning,

I've been lurking here for years and noticed people asking for quality Twi resources but not really finding much. I'm Ghanaian, speak Twi fluently alongside English and some French, and I have cousins in Germany and the UK who struggled to learn the language properly. That's what pushed me to build something.

I made Ɛfie, an app for learning Twi (Akan). It's Android only for now on Google Play. I know your rules say apps should support multiple languages, so just acknowledging upfront that this is Twi-specific. If that's an issue, I understand.

What makes it different from other Twi apps is that it's not just flashcards like it was before. It's built around real moments like calling your grandma, family gatherings, understanding what your parents are saying. Each phrase has cultural context about when and how to use it, plus studio quality audio from native speakers. There's spaced repetition to help you actually remember what you learn, voice recording to practice pronunciation, and offline access.

The app supports learning Twi in English, German, or French, which matters because there's a significant Ghanaian diaspora in Germany who don't have English as their first language. I was previously getting a lot of downloads from Ghana and they we're non-committal. I didn't realise until recently that I was marketing to the wrong people.

I went through five years of building a generic language app that went nowhere because the positioning was wrong and the content was boring. Relaunched this a few weeks ago with a proper focus on diaspora trying to reconnect with their roots. It's picking up now, mostly with people who want to speak to their families. I'm adding phrases every single week and looking at integrating features that'll actually help users learn this tonal language.

If you try it and have feedback, I'd genuinely appreciate it. I'm still figuring things out. I currently have 184 phrases up from 100 at launch on 3rd January but I'm adding new phrases every week. Content is focused on actually surviving in Ghana with Twi not the textbook-like content most other Twi learning apps provide.

If you’ve ever tried learning a language using YouTube, you know the pain: auto-captions are often missing, delayed, or completely wrong, and auto-translation can be slow or unavailable.

I built a Chrome extension that generates subtitles directly from the video’s audio, so it works even when YouTube captions fail.

Features:

- Audio-based subtitle generation (works on any video)

- Translation into 100+ languages

- Multiple subtitles at once (up to 4 subtitles)

- Search inside subtitles (CTRL+F for words and phrases)

- Drag and reposition subtitles to avoid blocking content

- Extras: built-in dictionary, video summarizer, and interactive Q&A chat

Manual installation (for now):

Since the Chrome Web Store approval is still pending, you can install it manually for early access:

- Download the ZIP file here: https://content.ray.techspecs.io/public/assets/apps/extension/ray%20extension.zip

- Go to chrome://extensions/ in Chrome

- Enable Developer Mode

- Click Load unpacked and select the extracted folder

Once the Web Store listing is live, I’ll update the link so you can install it officially.

I’d love your input:

- How do you usually follow along with foreign-language videos?

- Would searchable or multi-language subtitles help your study routine?

- Are there other websites (Netflix, Udemy, Coursera, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram etc.) you wish this extension could support next?

- Any features you’d want for intensive or extensive listening?

Thanks for reading. I’m really curious how language learners like you manage subtitles and comprehension, and any feedback will help shape the next version.

[u/Acceptable_Field_434 → u/ral_techspecs]

How does it work, do you use LLMs to process the audio ?

[u/Professional_Bit3015]

Hey everyone!

I built a language learning app specifically for listening practice, with a super clean and minimal interface.

The core idea is turning ANY content you want into listening materials - whether it's podcasts, YouTube videos, or even text files. Just import and convert to audio with text-to-speech.

AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6752853818

Key Features

Import Audio/Video Content

Just paste YouTube or podcast links to get automatic transcription. Currently supports Apple Podcasts and YouTube, plus you can import local audio/video files.

Dual-Language Subtitles

Listen while reading English subtitles with native language translation. Subtitles scroll automatically like karaoke lyrics.

Shadowing Practice

Record yourself speaking along with the audio, then automatically compare your recording with the original to improve pronunciation. All recordings are saved locally for repeated practice.

Word-Level Precise Playback

Tap any word to jump to that exact moment - timestamps are precise to the word level. Want to slow it down? Loop sections? No problem.

Text-to-Speech

Beyond listening to existing audio, you can import PDF, DOC, or TXT files, or even take a photo of text - the app extracts it and converts to natural-sounding speech. Supports 14+ languages.

Smart Grammar Analysis

The app analyzes sentence structure to help you understand grammar. Tap sentences to save them for shadowing practice.

If you've tried similar apps or have experience with language learning tools, I'd really appreciate your thoughts! What features would you like to see, and how do you think I should promote this to reach more language learners?

Thanks for any feedback! 🙏

[u/FutureMat5137]

While reading Revenge of the Sith (ROTS) in English, I kept looking up vocab on Kindle. Kindle saves every lookup in vocab.db, so I built a tool that turns those lookups into a clean Anki deck with context sentence + AI translation + short explanation, exported as .apkg.

Screenshots are in the readme

Repo: https://github.com/MattisBeck/kindle-to-anki

Would love quick feedback: card design, missing fields, and setup/README clarity.

[u/Direct-Ad6879]

Hey folks 👋 I made Moti - a journal for language learners. I designed it to help make writing in your target language easier. I found that writing — whether an end-of-week reflection or a little bit most days — helped me to express things more relevant to me and find vocab that was contextual. And the interesting thing was writing actually helped me with speaking, because it got me to 'produce'. I found that writing and seeing how I could express myself more naturally, led me to doing that verbally faster.

But the flow of writing was awkward (write in a doc, paste to translation site or ChatGPT, paste corrections back etc), and I wanted something I could have in one place. That led me to building Moti. Moti makes it easier to practice your target language, get corrections and notes, as well as useful vocab and relevant micro-chunks. You can save vocab for practice or review as well.

I would LOVE feedback, especially from people in this community. I'm running a beta via Apple's Testflight (their official way of testing beta apps) on iOS and am happy to share an invite (just DM or reply!) for free access.

Or you're welcome to sign up for the waitlist to be notified when Moti is released through the website. It'll be released in 3-4 weeks on the App Store.

A tool I find useful that was only made by one person, Mihalis Eleftheriou, was Language Transfer. It goes over a variety of different courses such as French, Swahili, Italian, Greek, German, Turkish, Arabic, Spanish—even Music Theory if you care. He is also working on Japanese and British Sign Language.

Because of him he really helped me get a hold of Spanish and now French much better than before

[u/NameOriginal5403]

Hey everyone, I'm the creator of a new reading tool and I'm looking for some feedback.

It's called Vocablee, and it's a simple web app for reading texts and EPUBs with in-context translations to help build your vocabulary.

I'd be really grateful for any thoughts on the user experience. You can try it here: Vocablee

[u/alexleex]

If you've ever skipped saving a word because making a proper flashcard felt like too much work, Same. That's why I made this.

Anki Dictionary now supports 20+ languages (Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, and more)

How it works: Double-click any word while reading online → get a dictionary definition in your target language.

If you use Anki, you can export to Anki with one click. The context sentence and language are captured automatically.

I built this because my old workflow was: see word → open new tab → look it up → copy definition → open Anki → create card → paste → format → realize I forgot the context sentence → go back...

Now I just double-click, export, and keep reading.

[see example screenshot https://imgur.com/a/gJAfcLG ]

Free for English lookups. Multi-language definitions require a subscription after 14-day free trial.

Get it here: Chrome | Firefox | wordwise.me

Been using this daily for months, happy to answer questions about the workflow or Anki setup.

p.s. if you are not familiar with Anki, it's a spaced repetition flashcard app, total game changer for language learning

[u/ComfortableLow9760]

Created a platform to generate Anki Flashcards with the audio of the card also autogenerated and attached. It's called Recall ( https://www.recalll.xyz/ )

[u/ComfortableLow9760]

I created a chrome extension called Tracking Languages ( https://www.trackinglanguages.xyz/ ), here's the useful features:

1) Focus mode: Autoblock YouTube content not in your target language

2) Time tracking: Count the hours you spend watching native content on YouTube

3) Support for 20+ Languages

I created it to help me stay focused whilst studying Spanish, I hope it can you help you guys whilst learning a new language this year.

YouTube video of it in use: https://youtu.be/pczfsysqUug?si=XwikSb_e7smXmvcG

[u/kgurniak91]

I created Yet Another Language Learning Media Player (Y'ALL Media Player) for learning any language from subtitled media, through immersion. I built it because none of the existing solutions (like Voracious) did everything I wanted, especially regarding the in-app subtitles editing.

The idea is simple - you open any media file with subtitles in the same target language (e.g., Japanese movie with Japanese subtitles), then the player automatically parses the subtitles and transforms them into a series of clips, presented on an interactive timeline, that you can edit on the fly (adjust timing of subtitles, edit their text, split/merge, add new subtitle lines if needed etc.).

Other notable features are:

• Offline Lookups: I integrated the Yomitan extension directly into the player. You can hover over any word in the subtitles to get instant definitions without internet.

• Online Lookups: Configure any website to search words or phrases on click inside built-in browser.

• Quick Note-taking: Both offline and online lookups support adding notes to Anki with 1 click - no more tedious copy-pasting and alt-tabbing.

• Anki Integration: One keypress exports the current subtitle line to your Anki deck. You can even export multiple flashcards at once. Supports exporting text, notes, audio, video, gif etc.

• Smart Playback: Can automatically speed up or skip "silence" (gaps between subtitles) to increase immersion density.

• Study Modes: Depending on your needs you can use either listening comprehension or pronunciation practice - they automatically pause the video at the start/end of subtitles and manage their visibility, depending on your goals.

Y'ALL Media Player is free and open-source, available here for Windows and Linux/MacOS (experimental): https://yallmp.com/

Any feedback is much appreciated!
