Hi all,<p>This site is born out of my frustration when trying to learn a new language. It is a "language learning application", but you won't learn a language by using it. I made it to practice one specific (and I think important) thing - the skill of listening a new language.<p>The idea is simple, the site contains short user-uploaded voice recordings with transcription and translation.<p>Here's an example in Spanish: <a href="http://lisn2.me/exercise/1455534102678176880" rel="nofollow">http://lisn2.me/exercise/1455534102678176880</a> . Users who learn Spanish can then listen to it (with/without transcription and translation).<p>After that you can exercise listening to chunks of the recording and then guess the text and translation: <a href="http://lisn2.me/exercise/1455534102678176880/quizes/guesschunk" rel="nofollow">http://lisn2.me/exercise/1455534102678176880/quizes/guesschu...</a><p>The second exercise is to listen and type (in the original language): <a href="http://lisn2.me/exercise/1455534102678176880/quizes/dictate" rel="nofollow">http://lisn2.me/exercise/1455534102678176880/quizes/dictate</a> The app will show (in green or red) when you got the transcription right.<p>This is still a proof-of-concept, the site html is very simple (but to be sincere, I like simple html websites:) and there are some bugs.<p>Now, I'm looking for feedback/suggestions/questions before deciding how (if) to proceed with this project.
This might make a good "Show HN".<p>Guidelines: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html</a>
