It's surprising how much easier to translate a foreign when it's given in a sentence. Also helps when there are multiple translations for a word depending on context.

One way it could grade you automatically is by the speed of flipping the card (or entering the correct answer). If it took less than a second to confirm then evidently it was easy.

Amazing approach! Is learning a second language too different from the types of courses Miyagi was designed for, or do you see a potential for that category?

Using speech to text you could say the answer and it could validate your answer. If AI engine is powerful enough it could have you say the foreign word and rate your pronunciation. As for spaced repetition I developed an alternative which j

You could use the data you've collected in the DB to generate a quiz that tests your knowledge of the words. If you track how many times you entered the correct answer and sort by descending order on that field you will be presented w

I'm curious how people pronounce this when they've never heard it. Do people assume the 'e' is silent as in "eye". For anyone curious it's basically "Turkey-yeah" & the "yeah" is sh

Are there any apps specifically targetted at polyglots? It's a niche so I doubt it. I guess you can tell the app that you're native french speaker learning German if you are more proficient in French and picking up German. This wa

On the subject of tenses Turkish has a "reported past tense" which I haven't heard in other languages so far. It's very commonly used and simply denotes that someone told you of something that happened. I.e. you didn&#x2

The limitation with flashcards is that you get the entire answer, not sure if there are flashcard apps with a hint function? I experimented with vocab training where you can peek the first two letters which helps jog the memory.

I hope for her sake they're not long names... The number of issues I've had due to too given names being too long has been quite frustrating. E.g. banking systems that can't fit my full name into their systems.
