I love this idea!! I'm working on Dutch learning as well and made a learners immersion dictionary for it;

So going by the screenshot in the readme where you have vaststellen; https://hetnederlands.com/dictionary/vaststellen

The things you can do with language learning and LLMs is just incredible :)

Oh neat, how did you generate that data?

Nuenki uses processed wiktionary data. Its definition for that word is this: https://dictionary.nuenki.app/get_definition?language=Dutch&...

(ofc rendered nicely in the client).

just pure o4 mini in a sequence of prompts. I haven't done any fine-tuning or involved any dict api (yet), but the accuracy/quality can definitely be improved from there.

For dutch, I would use something like van dale or woordenlijst (het groene boekje), both have free online versions.
