This looks exactly like https://jointoucan.com/. I struggle to see any difference. Really surprised that you have 9000 users already. Perhaps I miss some important difference from Toucan?

Funnily enough I also never heard about Toucan before. I made https://vocabboost.online/ (which uses a similar idea, but for making languate tests out of webpages) and only then users told me that it was similar to Toucan.

Have you heard of Migaku? It is a browser extension, currently only available with a Patreon "donation" that operates in a similar manner. It looks pretty cool.
What languages do they offer? Whatever I choose, I get "Specific content for <lang> is coming soon!"
You might have better luck watching their youtube videos to find out. This one from March says English, French, German, Spanish, Mandarin (2), Portuguese, Cantonese, and I think also Japanese although he did not say as much: https://youtu.be/Z71md2rjGjE?t=494
Thanks for showing the Toucan service. I'm trying to learn Portuguese and so few tools offer it.
