I’ve been working on a free language learning app that uses a local AI model to translate words and sentences. You can read sentences, short stories, or watch YouTube videos with translatable captions. It mostly follows the principles of the comprehensible input theory. Think of it like LingQ, but free and with any language combination.

The main goal is for the app to run entirely on the client side and stay completely free.

Personally, I can’t stand Anki or Duolingo—I’d rather read actual sentences that are fine-tuned to my level.

I love the concept of translating at user level for learning.

I'm building a directory of language learning tools, let's connect, please.
