This is nice! (100th star I pressed!) I'd like to try it, but the setup was a pain, it would be nice to have a button to deploy immediately to Vercel and Supabase! ref: https://vercel.com/docs/deployments/deploy-button
*thanks again!!
Thank you for your contribution to the FOSS learning space. Here's a few random suggestions: - spaced repetition. Again, anki style. - audio. Can you make it easy to record a phrase, anki style? Or maybe even make AI pronounce them correctly? I would something like that.
I am learning Turkish so I built something like that for me. You can highlight any word online and it will translate colloquially so you can actually use it irl. It also has audio and pronunciation. It is around the halfway mark in the demo. demo: https://imgur.com/a/full-demo-so-far-O2fzBJn

Similar to LingQ there is Migaku which can do this for YouTube and other sites. It definitely has significantly aided my learning and made it a zero friction and even fun experience to learn another language.
There's also https://nuenki.app (disclaimer: I made it), which applies the same approach to every single website*. It translates appropriate-difficulty sentences into your target language, and you can hover for definitions, pronunciations, etc. *other than those blocked for privacy reasons

What models have you been using for that? While I haven’t tried automating the production of vocabulary lists through an API, within the last few weeks I have had the chat versions of ChatGPT 4o, Claude Sonnet 3.5, and one of the latest Gemini models produce annotated vocabulary lists based on literary texts in English, Russian, and Latin. I didn’t spot any hallucinations. I was asking only for the meanings of the wo…
I wonder if there are any benchmarks specifically designed to evaluate LLMs' performance in language learning tasks

I've had this same problem using ChatGPT and German. Even for basic German hallucinations can be unexpected and problematic. (I don't recall the model, but it was a recent one.) In one instance, I was having it correct akkusativ/dativ/nominativ sentences and it would say the sentence is in one case when I knew it was in another case. I'd ask ChatGPT if it was sure, and then it would change its answer. If pressed furt…
Would agentic workflows come in handy in these cases? I mean having a controller agent after the sentence is created, where this agent would be able to search the web or have access to a database? or personal notes and ensure everything is correct.
This looks really good. I wish I had had something like this many years ago when I was studying languages. Somebody has already suggested adding spaced repetition and audio, which I agree with completely. One more suggestion: In addition to having the LLM give you the meaning and example for the context in which you originally saw the word, also ask it to provide the word’s other main meanings and examples of it bein…
I’ve had this same idea, and it doesn’t work. Or at least: it works quote well, but the problem is that you get hallucinations. And it can be incredibly discouraging to find out the flashcards you’ve been cramming are completlh wrong.
1. Role based "agents" with a router and logs (for auditing reasoning and decision making).
2. Cross validation and redundancy with the translation "agent" using a 2nd language (that is not English) that you are also native in to check if the translation carries the same "meaning" (sentiment) and cultural significance (Turkish is especially rich in symbolism and cultural memes).
YMMV: I am a car salesman irl and have no formal training.

Any plans to add Hindi, being the third-most spoken language in the world?
I can contact you when it's added, if you like - perhaps you could email alex (at) nuenki.app?
Some thoughts I'm on a Duolingo family plan, studying Ukrainian. It keeps throwing more and more difficult words without really building my knowledge and experience with the previous words. I'm not sure if I can't hear the words correctly (it's possible, I'm partially deaf and it sounds like the voices it provides are low quality). I'm not sure if I'm not pronouncing them correctly (it often doesn't accept my pronunc…
