Show HN: Vocabuo – The Vocabulary App

2 pointsby kebsup10 months ago
Hi HN,<p>I&#x27;ve made an app for language learning with spaced repetition flashcards. It takes the all of the features that I&#x27;ve liked from other language learning apps, removes the ones I&#x27;ve disliked and puts them into one package.<p>- Cloze cards: Ich habe einen _____ (dog). - These types of cards work much better for more advanced words without 1:1 translations. - Spaced repetition is fully adjustable - Most other apps would force me to use their fixed intervals. :( - Words from content - My favorite way of learning is by watching YouTube videos in my target language, so I&#x27;ve added a youtube (and website) viewer to the app. - Audio, images - Each card gets AI generated image and audio. - Fast - To practice a card, you just tap it and swipe left&#x2F;right. I was getting frustrated with childish exercises other apps were forcing me to do. - No gamification - Yes, that&#x27;s a feature. :D - Aimed at advanced learners - A lot of apps end at B1 level (2000-3000), whereas to understand a language comfortably you need around 10 000 words, so the app aims at people who want to learn the final 7 000 words. - Words are grouped correctly - The conjugations - gehen, gehe, geht, gehst... are all considered to be the same word. Surprisingly uncommon in the language learning app space.<p>Would love to hear your feedback!<p>Petr
