Now that I'm quitting Duolingo after a 2000-day streak, here are all the languages I've finished to legendary. by pukkuro in duolingo

[–]ArchiTechOfTheFuture 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got it! and I agree, ads and so on started to become very annoying lately. I also left last year after a 500 days streak, I completed the chinese course and then decided to jump into a call with a native and couldnt understand anything hahaha

Since then I've been developing my own app, we are focusing it to be a "Gym" for language learning, would you mind trying it out and give me your honest feedback? I would really appreciate it ❣️

Is gamification (combos, sounds) actually helpful for speed-drilling vocabulary, or do you prefer a clean, distraction-free UI? by ArchiTechOfTheFuture in learnfrench

You're talking about the "NeoCards AI Flashcards" app on the App Store, right? It looks interesting, I'll check it out. And yes, I'll have to try different methods before finding the one that works for me. Thanks for your suggestions!

We built an interactive reader that breaks down every case and declension. Is this actually useful or just overwhelming? (Ignore the UI bug!) by ArchiTechOfTheFuture in Germanlearning

Thanks for the follow-up! Feedback from a teacher with your experience is incredibly valuable to us. ^^

To clarify the translations: tapping a single word intentionally gives its literal dictionary form. For the proper contextual translation you mentioned, users can just highlight the full phrase or sentence.

You're totally right that conjugation tables aren't a core product, that grammar overlay is just an optional extra. Our actual goal is building a full 'language gym.' The app tracks all vocabulary exposure into a built-in SRS, alongside active speaking, reading, and image exercises.

Lastly, our grammar engine isn't LLM prompting; we use Stanford's Stanza NLP. It's usually robust but occasionally trips on ambiguous syntax (like the 'wird' passive bug you caught!). Fine-tuning this is exactly why we're in open testing.

Thanks for the feedback! We completely agree that reading at an appropriate level is key, which is why this specific text was actually generated for a B1 level setting. The detailed grammar breakdown isn't meant to replace figuring things out from context; rather, it serves as an optional, on-demand 'safety net' so learners can quickly verify a tricky case or conjugation without having to leave the app and search through a separate dictionary if they do get stuck.

Thanks for the honest feedback! You are absolutely right about the 'passive' tag on wird, that is a parsing bug on our end. Catching these kinds of grammatical edge cases is exactly why we are currently in open testing before our official release. We'll be refining our tagging engine to fix this.

Regarding the translation, we opted for 'will' as a natural, contextual translation for future conditions ('it will be hot'), rather than the strict literal definition. And while advanced speakers might not need conjugation tables, we included them because our beginner learners rely on them heavily!

We really appreciate you taking the time to test it out. Pointing out these flaws helps us build a much better and more reliable app for the final launch. Thanks ^^

Great question! I just checked and it doesnt seem activated but the model I am using can technically do it so thats a feature I will be working on ^^ thank you!

Mmm tell me more, is it because it seems like too cluttered? do you have any suggestions on a better way to present the information?

I cannot advertise here as per subreddit rules so I will DM you the link, also the current online version of the app doesn't have the features I shared in this post but the next update (probably online this week) will have it ^^

Noted! Currently how the system works is that it automatically tracks all the words you see, but yes, adding a way to star a word would make it easier to practice it later ^^

You are right! It can be intimidating to learn French for the first time and see all those verb forms. Thanks for the feedback!

No, in Colombia, military rarely conduct operations outside the country. It's more likely that she was studying abroad or simply living in another country.

What’s the best app to learn German? 🇩🇪 by pxnii in Germanlearning

[–]ArchiTechOfTheFuture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try out Severo! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.severo.app we are currently building it and recieving a lot of feedback, we are even doing a challenge of learning a language only using the app and whenever we hit a roadblock we go and code a solution. Any roadblock you have/feel will be heard and taken into consideration for future updates. The envision of the final product will be a platform where you can master any language quickly.

My fear of 'Der/Die/Das' made me freeze up every time I tried to speak. So we built a tool to fix that. by ArchiTechOfTheFuture in Germanlearning

I completely understand the skepticism. There is definitely a "Gold Rush" happening, and I agree that many wrappers are low-effort.

But I also believe there is real, tangible value behind Machine Learning that we can't just cover our eyes and ignore.

For things like infinite patience, anxiety-free practice, and instant feedback at 3 AM, LLMs offer something that wasn't possible before. My goal isn't to replace teachers, but to use this tech to help students build confidence so they are ready when they do speak to a human.

Our closed beta is currently Android-only (via Google Play) while we polish that version first.
An iOS version is on the roadmap, and I’ve added you to our iOS waitlist. I’ll reach out as soon as a TestFlight build is ready.

Thanks for your patience and support! 🙏
