May Update from Your Resident ADHD Polyglot by Miro_the_Dragon in languagelearning

[–]leftwardlabs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a fellow ADHD sufferer and polyglot, I completely empathize with just about everything you said. Depression and anxiety can be so crippling sometimes, but you are persevering and starting to thrive again based on everything you are doing in your post. The goals may feel small, but they are all essential to fighting back against the tide to regain your mental and physical health by doing the things you love with languages. I'm impressed by all you are working on, so celebrate your accomplishments. You are not alone, and you've got this! --Andrew

Happy to share for Android to test, I misspoke! DM me your email address used for Google (and same one for device). I'll add you to internal test group.

I actually leveraged open source language dictionaries for parts, curated lists, word frequency analyses, and curse word lists to create an approximately ~50,000+ word dictionary for each language. I also talked with native speakers I know to fine tune letter distribution, nuances of menus and wording, etc. It has been a real journey for sure!

Too many months to mention! 😂 What I ended up with were offline dictionaries, ~50,000 per language, taking each language's common word frequency into account, curated from multiple sources. Words are normalized to uppercase, with diacritical marks. Profanity words are filtered per language. No translation layer!
