Show HN: Clozemaster – Learn language in context

At the moment Pro users can play sentences grouped by missing word part-of-speech for German, Spanish, French, and Italian from English. I've tried a few different approaches to determining the word types / part-of-speech of words in a given sentence, but none have been super accurate so far. There's definitely a lot more fun/interesting stuff I'd like to do with Clozemaster if I ever do find or develop a good way to detect types.

"Он предложил это. Как вы на это смотрели?" could be literally translated as "He proposed that. How did you see (or look at) that?", but the correct translation would be "He proposed that. What did you think about that?".

I played around with your product and I've found that I need to enter words or select missing ones like in Duolingo. It seems a bit more difficult than Duolingo though.

The biggest problem to me with Duolingo that it doesn't explain certain language rules (I am learning German) and you have to brute-force until you "get a feeling" and memorize patterns.

Another problem, is that there is very little focus on developing your speaking skills which (to me at least) are the most important.

I would really love to see some emphasis on speaking skill development.

Even more, Duolingo sucks at text understanding development - you get to learn sentence by sentence, but you are never getting a "full picture". So when you get a proper, full text (some short article, for example) in another language, it just feels a bit overwhelming.

Basically, what I am trying to convey and what's missing (for me) in this kind of apps, is that learning language is not about filling in missing words in the sentences.

Btw, I really like that you charge $8 - IMO Duolingo here misses out a huge chunk of money. I would easily pay $5 and probably up to $10 but now I have just to "endure" one ad every 5min which doesn't bother me at all.
