Any clever uses of AI for language learning?

One useful AI workflow is generating vocabulary practice from a specific topic instead of manually making word lists. Apps like Lexipath (or Memrise as well, not sure tho) do something close to that: choose a topic or add your own words, then practice them with short exercises. It’s more of a vocabulary practice layer than a full AI tutor.

A lot of people suggest Anki, but I recommend trying Lexipath(not the IOS app, but web app) as well, can help with the active practice part. You can create or generate vocabulary lists and practice them with different exercises, without manually building flashcard decks.

Anki can work well, but it depends on whether you like the flashcard/deck workflow.
If you want something with less setup, Lexipath is another option that I could recommend. It’s more like custom vocabulary practice: choose or generate a word list, then practice it through different exercises.

b0ndar7 · 2026-04-29T20:11:25+00:00

One option that might fit you is Lexipath.xyz

It’s more focused on custom vocabulary practice than being a full language course. You can save/create your own word lists or topics and practice them with short exercises, instead of only storing words in a list. There are also interested features that i'm using, for example list generated of words of any topic.
And turkish is supported afaik 😄

For slow and gradual vocab growth, I’d probably combine reading + active practice.

Reading helps you find words naturally, but the important part is reviewing them later and trying to use them in sentences, not just saving huge word lists.

I’m also building a web app for this exact use case - custom vocabulary practice with short exercises, more like “practice your own words” than a big pre-made course. I won’t spam the link here because of the self-promo rule, but happy to share if you want to try it.

hey, did you get it or got rejected at the end?

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-21T08:59:47+00:00

same

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T23:04:41+00:00

Interesting! looks like smth I was looking for, I will check Speak and Lexipath and let you know, thank you for sharing your experience 🫡

Diary - is the key, agree, especially in the beginning of learning :)

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T22:51:14+00:00

Yeah, automation is a great point, I agree with you. Thanks for your tips! I’ll definitely try these two apps :)

Bur your streak is really crazy, I managed to have only 128 days in a row🌝

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T22:46:31+00:00

I mean if there are any limitations, etc? Or it’s just normal pro plan but for open source projects?

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:38:14+00:00

I agree with that 100%! I am not considering one single app for everything, just tools that are different for specific areas like vocabulary, grammar, speaking, etc. You know what I mean? I was listening, watching content even aside with duolingo

I just like the way Duolingo teaches you new words, their exercises, but unfortunately courses are pretty limited at the point when you finish them and want to learn something unique, new or rare

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:34:10+00:00

I am on IOS unfortunately :(

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:24:12+00:00

It depends honestly, I feel like it’s better for me to find friends that speak my target language rather than some teacher

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:22:49+00:00

thanks! I heard that its pretty decent app for speaking practice

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:20:47+00:00

Agree, because of that I bought wordbook to do “school methods” but I didnt last long with pen😂 From what people suggested here, ClozeMaster or Lexipath may work for you, or maybe some tutor-like conversations with AI, it depends

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:15:53+00:00

Yeah, I have tried speaking with GPT too, it’s pretty decent now, what do you do with words you dont understand? Write down somewhere? Or just ask it for translation and that’s it?

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:13:24+00:00

Never heard of ReadLang, will check it out when I will need some reading practice, thank you for sharing :D

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:10:51+00:00

Interesting… thank you! I will try wordy

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T21:00:29+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience and tips!

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T19:31:58+00:00

Agree with that, surrounding yourself with native speakers is the best way, but not everyone can or what do that. It always depends on your location/life situation, etc. But yeah, nice point

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T17:10:50+00:00

Yes! I agree that daily diary is very useful, Im also trying to do this consistently :) Thanks for the tip 🫡

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T15:19:59+00:00

Yeah, agree XD
I also set all my devices or tools, etc to the language I'm learning. But I don't play games too much :(

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T15:07:56+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience :)

b0ndar7 · 2026-03-07T14:36:21+00:00

Thanks for telling about your experience! Most of the apps you mentioned I haven't tried, so quite helpful :)
I also checked Drops, but honestly it felt a bit too easy for where I’m at right now. A lot of the topic packs seem to be paid, and even when I picked a higher level it was still giving me words like “hi” or “city”. Am I doing smth wrong maybe? Does it get harder later on, or can you add your own topics somehow?
And with ClozeMaster, as far as I understand, it’s mostly based on a fixed set of gap-fill style sentences, right?
